Big Results from a Little Truck - 1997 Chevrolet S-10
By Jay - August 29 - 4:33 pmI bought my truck used from a friend who had two trucks. This is a great and dependable truck. I use my truck for work and decided since I was going to school to drive it. I drove from North Carolina to El Paso Texas no issue. The only thing that I did was change the timing belt and started using synthetic oil. Awesome truck!!

Tough little truck - 1997 Chevrolet S-10
By S10man - February 4 - 9:31 pmThis truck was given to me by grandfather after he died and it has been very reliable. I have just turned 16 and Ive been rough with this truck and it still holds up. The 4.3 V6 was the best V6 ever made. Actually it is a 350 block with two cylinders chopped off. It has the same size pistons and everything. It has a lot of power and will still lay you back in your seat with over 106,000 miles on it. The only thing Ive ever had to do to it was change the oil and I put a K&N lifetime air filter in it. The only thing that has gone wrong with it is the compressor had a leak that I fixed easily. Other than that it has been great.

Great little truck - 1997 Chevrolet S-10
By BigRed3195 - June 16 - 5:37 pmLove this truck and I would recommend one to anyone. Chevy made a big mistake when they stopped making them. They are very reliable and are a joy to own and drive. Great on gas too, Im currently getting 30+ mpg on the highway and 25+ mpg city driving. Great performance for a 4-cylinder truck, even when loaded. Easy to modify to. This S10 is the 2nd one that Ive owned for a work truck and I have had 3 others for project trucks/ street machines. Love em.

Chevrolet S10 - 1997 Chevrolet S-10
By wbchevy - September 27 - 11:07 pmFantastic truck, excellent power for this vehicle class, and excellent overall value. This truck provides the perfect combination of form and function, providing good fuel mileage and overall capability. The cabin is quiet and well layed out, providing good room for most all passenger sizes. Overall, I would highly recommend this vehicle as it provides nearly full size capability with compact fuel economy of over 20mpg.

Runnin son-of-a-gun - 1997 Chevrolet S-10
By HGW - August 8 - 2:00 amIm extremely happy with my S-10. My gas mileage isnt too hot, but its so fun to drive, I dont care. Besides, Im probably most of the problem (quick jackrabbit starts, driving fast, etc.).

Sweet Trucks - 1997 Chevrolet S-10
By Gomer Pile - January 14 - 2:00 amS-10s are awesome little trucks, especially the 4.3 with a five speed. These things are verry quick for compact trucks. Quick, nimble, good gas mileage, looks good doing it. This particular truck has the ZQ8 suspension package and an SS motor. Also it has been lowered and has performance shocks and tires to enhance its qualitys.
