 Subject: SLT/Sport model is there such a thing?
IP: Logged
Message:
I am considering purchasing a 1999 "SLT/Sport" extended cab 5.2 liter. The owner assures me that it is BOTH a Sport and SLT model. When I go to edmunds.com, I see that the equipment is almost identical for these two trim levels. The book value of a SLT is about $700 higher than a Sport, so it's difficult for me to determine the value of this truck.
Is there a way to tell if I should value this truck as a SLT or a Sport? Does the VIN have a flag which tells me for sure whether this truck is basically a Sport or a SLT? It's fully loaded with power windows, door locks, sliding rear window, overhead console, etc.

Sport has paint matched bumpers and grille. The SLT has chromed bumpers and chromed grill and gray facia. The sport has a rear anti sway bar, the SLT does not. If you still an't tell, run the VIN.
It sounds like an SLT but I can't tell without a picture.

Thanks for the quick reply. Here's the ad: http://www.cars.com/search/used/cc/standard/results/single/ld/detail.jhtml?paId=125229828&aff=national&src=&cid=null
What do you think? Seems like a good price if it's a SLT, but not quite as good a deal if it's a Sport (looks like more of a Sport to me).

It's a Sport. The "Sport" decal on the side is a dead give away. He's just trying to squeeze more money out of any potential buyer. There is no such thing as a Sport/SLT.

Hey,
I have a pal with a Sport/SLT V8 EXT.
I just wrote about it in another thread.
We always wondered if there were others.

Well, it's too late - I already bought the truck. I checked NADA and KBB value as a Sport, not a SLT, and I think I got a good deal. I'm fairly sure it's a Sport, as there are no "SLT" badges anywhere on the truck.
Is this truck considered to be a "half ton"? The following information is on the placard on the driver's door frame:
GVWR: 5600
GAWR Front: 3166
GAWR Rear: 3166
