What is the difference in a R10 R20 V10 and a V20 1988 Chevy suburban?

Answer 1

The numbers on truck models refer to the weight rating. Ford F100/F150/F250/F350, Dodge D100/1500/D200/2500/D300/3500, Chevy 10/1500/20/2500/30/3500. The "F" in ford models just means FORD and the "D" in Dodge models just means DODGE. The 1's series (10,100,150,1500) means that the truck is rated ½ Ton, the 2's series (20,200,250,2500) means the truck is rates for ¾ Ton, and 3's series (30,300,350,3500) means that the truck is rated for 1 Ton.

For pre 1987 Chevy trucks there was the "C" line and the "K" line. The "C" line means the truck is a Two Wheel Drive (4x2) and the "K" means that the truck is a Four Wheel Drive (4x4). In 1987 they started using the "V" line and the "R" line. The "R" line means the truck is a Two Wheel Drive (4x2) and the "V" means that the truck is a Four Wheel Drive (4x4).

C/R10 = ½ Ton 4x2 (Two Wheel Drive)

K/V10 = ½ Ton 4x4 (Four Wheel Drive)

C/R20 = ¾ Ton 4x2 (Two Wheel Drive)

K/V20 = ¾ Ton 4x4 (Four Wheel Drive)
