What trucks did Chevy make in 1995?
Chevrolet's 1995 truck lineup centered on two main lines: the full-size C/K pickups and the compact S-10 pickups. This year did not feature the Silverado nameplate, which would arrive later. Here’s what Chevrolet offered to buyers in 1995.
Full-size pickups: the Chevrolet C/K family
The full-size C/K series remained Chevrolet’s backbone for work and heavy-duty use in 1995. These trucks were built on the GMT400 platform and came in a range of cab and bed configurations, with both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive options to suit fleets and individuals alike.
- Chevrolet C/K pickups available in C1500, C2500, and C3500 configurations, with Regular Cab and Extended Cab options and 2WD/4WD drivetrains. Engine choices spanned several gasoline V6 and V8 options to match payload and towing needs.
The C/K lineup in 1995 provided versatility for light, medium, and heavy-duty tasks, reflecting Chevrolet’s emphasis on durability and utility for both commercial buyers and private customers.
Compact pickups: the Chevrolet S-10 family
The S-10 family offered Chevrolet’s smaller, more maneuverable option for everyday use, commuting, and light-duty work. The line typically paired a compact footprint with economical performance and flexible configurations, including two-wheel and four-wheel drive.
- Chevrolet S-10 pickup — available in Regular Cab and Extended Cab layouts, with 2WD or 4WD options and engine choices such as a 2.2L inline-four or a 2.8L V6.
The S-10 complemented the larger C/K trucks by delivering better fuel economy and easier handling, making it popular among single traders, small businesses, and buyers needing a compact work vehicle.
Note on branding
In 1995, Chevrolet’s light-duty pickups carried the C/K branding for full-size models rather than the Silverado name, which would be introduced later in 1999 with a new generation of trucks.
Summary
In 1995, Chevrolet’s truck offerings revolved around two main product lines: the durable full-size C/K pickups (C1500, C2500, C3500) and the compact S-10 pickup. This lineup provided both heavy-duty capability and everyday practicality for a wide range of buyers, marking a transitional era before the Silverado nameplate would come into full use a few years later.
