The Chevrolet Montana is a small pickup that Chevrolet unveiled in Brazil in October 2003. It was derived from the Chevrolet Corsa and shared the platform of the Opel Corsa B; the data lists the Opel Corsa Pick-up as its predecessor. The body is a two-door pickup of the Coupe Utility class with front-wheel drive, and the parent company is General Motors.
Three four-cylinder engines were offered: a 1.8L Family 1 petrol, a 1.7L Circle-L diesel and a 1.4L. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual, the wheelbase measures 2.714 mm, empty weight is 1.116 kg, and the tank holds 52,5 l.
The Montana was built in São José dos Campos in Brazil; in Port Elizabeth in South Africa it was assembled from CKD kits and sold there as the Opel Corsa Utility. In Mexico it was called the Chevrolet Tornado because Pontiac already used the name Montana for a minivan. The data names the Agile-based Chevrolet Montana as the successor.
Chevrolet – other models: the collective page of trucks and pick-ups outside the named ranges, from Silverado, Suburban and Avalanche to cab-over classics such as the HS157 and Loadmaster, 36 to 365 kW
This page gathers Chevrolet commercial vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – from the light pick-up to the medium-duty truck. General Motors' Chevrolet brand, founded in Detroit in 1911, traditionally marks its ranges with a letter for the drive (C for rear-wheel, K for four-wheel drive) and a number for the payload class in half-ton steps (1500, 2500, 3500); HD stands for Heavy Duty and Silverado, since the mid-1970s, for the top trim. Alongside current pick-ups such as the Silverado and Avalanche and the long-wheelbase Suburban, the page also contains cab-over trucks of the 1950s and 1960s such as the HS157 and Loadmaster and the period's Custom De Luxe trim line.

The register lists here 71 versions with outputs from 36 to 365 kW from six- to twelve-cylinders of 3,150 to 8,100 cm³, unladen weights from 1,570 to 11,560 kg, gross weights up to 36,011 kg, lengths from 4,570 to 7,800 mm and widths from 1,750 to 2,700 mm.
Chevrolet pick-ups have traditionally been among the best-selling vehicles of any kind in North America, while the older cab-over models shaped local distribution traffic in the post-war decades.
On used examples, depending on model year, rust on the frame and bed, the condition of the engine and automatic transmission, on four-wheel-drive versions the transfer case and axles, and on the older cab-over models the brakes and steering count; parts run through the wide GM network and the American classic-vehicle market.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
