The Chevrolet K1500 Suburban Silverado for 1992: Improving on 1991
There have been several award-winning trucks from Chevrolet over the years, including the Chevrolet K1500 Suburban of 1992. There are two trim levels to the K1500 Suburban, including Silverado and Base. The Silverado version is one of the more popular options, outselling other configurations. Like in 1991 the popular 5.7 liter Chevrolet has made this a popular choice for sport utility buyers nationwide.
Stop and Go
The restyled K1500 Suburban Silverado is equipped with a 5.7-liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The Chevrolet engine is mated to a Hydra-Matic four-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 1991 version.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The K1500 Suburban comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. The truck uses torsion bar front springs and leaf in the rear.

The dimensions of the K1500 Suburban Silverado are 73.90 inches wide by 194.20 inches long. It sits 65.70 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 109.80 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.
The listed retail price in 1992 (MSRP) was $14,375, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is in line with the industry average price for a four-door Sport Utility.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 1992 K1500 Suburban is a TBI design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected TBI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 20.00 gallons.

Parting Shots
The 1991 model began the promise of the Chevrolet K1500 Suburban. The 1992 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the K1500 Suburban Silverado will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
No less than 5 of my friends have a K1500 Suburban. I can’t say more than two of them are happy with it…
Yawn… Not much has changed since 1991 with this sport utility.
