    By -

    I have had my S-10 since June. It is a long bed with the 4.3 V6. The engine was the only option that I had in the truck.It runs excellent and has been an excellent work horse. I had a minor problem with the driver side window,but the dealer fixed it asap. I get a lot of compliements on the appearence. It is excellent for hauling

  • Good Truck! - 2002 Chevrolet S-10

    Been almost a year and has been a great truck. Only problems has been some fit and finish issues but been reliable transport. Great 4wheeling on the beach and tailgating vehicle. Added Yakima roof rack for the bike and a hitch. Seems to have more interior room then a Toyota or Nissan. 4.3L has great low end torque. Great price and its got everything I need and more.

  • Dam nChevy POS - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
    By -

    What a rude awakening. I have been driving Chevys all my life and I will never buy another. The paint job sucks. I tried to haul a carpet (yes a Carpet), and it really scratched up my paint job. I returned to my dealer to complain and was told that it was not warranted and that Chevy would call it excessive wear. Hauling a carpet is excessive? it is a pickup right. Anyway, after 4 phone calls and numerous threats to sue GM they finally agreed to fix it. All they did was spray some touch up paint on it and then wouldnt even give me the damn warranty receipt. The Morale of the story is to NEVER, EVER, Buy a Chevy.

    Vehicle engine occasionally "revs up" when trying to shift from low to drive. The dealer is aware of this problem and is working with me to correct it. It is aggravating. You expect a new vehicle to preform problem free.

  • Great Truck! - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
    By -

    I just got this truck after looking at blazers, jeeps, pathfinders and more. I wanted something with four doors, 4 wheel drive, and room to haul "stuff" around. I ended up chooseing the S10 Crew Cab because it essentially has the same room for 5 passengers as the smaller SUVs. With the box and the added custom topper I have almost as much room as my old Van when the third seat was removed (Windstar - not sad to see that go!) Possibly more! I needed more towing power, and didnt want something that was going to kill me at the gas pump. So far I love the truck! Time will tell.

  • EXTREME Street Machine - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
    By -

    Factory stripes and low crouching suspension give this truck a very intimidating look. You really have to see these beauties in person to get the effect. Plenty of room in extended cab for audio. Do yourself a favor and invest in a good Tonneau cover and a radar/laser jammer. Does 100 MPH too quickly and 80 MPH too easily. 3rd time truck owner, first time Chevy - very happy. Will buy again.
