My favorite features on the 1998 Chevy C1500 is the simplicity of the motor. I am no mechanic but I can pretty much figure out where every part is on the truck. There is plenty of space under the hood and the parts are not compacted all together. I love knowing parts are where they have been for many years. One car we own that is a newer model has the battery under the back seat! We had to research to find out where it was at first. There are no surprises like that with the 1998 Chevy C1500. I also do not have to worry when I am out with my family in the truck because I know it will get us back home. It is very tough and dependable. There is not a lot of maintenance required. If you check the basics such as oil, water, transmission fluid, and brake fluid then you are good to go in this vehicle. Myself and my two grown boys can fit in the cab of the truck so there is also plenty of space. It may not be a showy vehicle but it is definitely a classic dependable vehicle you can pass down to your kids. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who may be short on money and needing a vehicle to get them from A to B everyday with no worries.

The extended cab is my second favorite feature of this truck. It is large enough for my fiancée and I to essentially "live in" comfortably when we go through extensive and strenuous periods of overtime at work. It easily hold both my partner and myself, my partner's two children, and my two dogs comfortably and happily even on long road trips. I know that I can rely on this truck to get us all safely to where we need to be. Every time I crank the truck and get on the road, the sound of the engine sends shivers of happiness down my spine, and I cannot get enough of it.

It is reliable and great off road. I have taken this truck through some rough trails to go hunting and adventuring, and I am certain that most other vehicles would not have made it through what my truck did. It also has great power and torque and tows great. It is modern enough to have power windows and comfy seats, yet old enough to look the part. The paint still shines after all these years, which is great to me. While it has had some things go wrong over the years, that is to be expected. It has never left me entirely stranded in a situation, which is exactly what I can ask for from the truck. It also offers tons of opportunities to add aftermarket things to the truck.
