Chevrolet – other commercial models: collective page of pickups, SUVs and light vans outside the named ranges, from Fleetside and Sportside pickups to the Blazer, four- to eight-cylinder, 16 to 220 kW

This page gathers Chevrolet commercial vehicles the register could not assign to a named range, from the Fleetside and Sportside pickup bodies of the 1500 to 3500 series to the Blazer SUV and light vans. Chevrolet was founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William Durant in Detroit and is, alongside GMC, General Motors' second pickup and commercial-vehicle brand; the 1500, 2500 and 3500 designations order the payload class from light to heavy, while Fleetside and Sportside denote smooth or stepped load-bed shapes.

The register lists 81 versions here with 16 to 220 kW from four- to eight-cylinder engines of 1,990 to 7,430 cm³, kerb weights of 960 to 3,300 kg, lengths of 3,960 to 6,200 mm and widths of 1,700 to 2,200 mm.

Chevrolet pickups and the Blazer compete in North America with the technically related GMC models as well as with Ford and Dodge/Ram in the large segment of light commercial and recreational off-road vehicles. Outside North America these ranges are present mainly as imported and enthusiast vehicles, and in smaller diesel-engined versions under the Chevrolet brand in certain export markets.

On imported Chevrolet pickups and SUVs, key checks include frame corrosion, the condition of the leaf springs and automatic transmission, and on the large-displacement V8 engines additionally oil consumption and the condition of the ignition system. On the Blazer, the transfer case and the sealing of the soft top or hardtop should be checked. Spare parts are readily available through American import trade and thanks to the technical kinship with Chevrolet passenger-car models.

What to check before buying
