  Great truck great price - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  By Dougdu - November 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought this truck new and have 150,000 on it. I have not put anything into it except the ABS brakes had a problem and I put new rotors and sensors on. That is it besides tires and oil changes and I did change the serpentine belt because it was nine years old not because it was shot. For the average Joe to haul things around and get from point a to b this truck is great. I get 27 MPG with gasoline and 21 with E 85. I will sell this truck but I will be sad to see it go.

  Wish they still made these! - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  By drdetroit - September 27 - 2:00 am

  This is the third s10 I have owned, I have had a 99,00 and the current 02. I am very partial to the 4.3 because it is very dependable and I always put 200,000 miles or more on these trucks. I do not know why people have had problems with the fuel pump, I have got 180,000 out of all of mine. I always felt the truck was a good buy with good looks for the money! I would Rather push a USA truck than drive any Toyota!

  Love My S10!! - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  By Christina - February 15 - 8:03 pm

  I bought my S10 used with about 94K. I have had it for two years and drove it to work 5 days a week. No major repairs, just standard things like brakes and front ball joints. I am really satisfied with it and have gotten many compliments. The 4.3L V6 is very powerful and the 4x4 is great in the snow.

  best small truck i feel - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  By sparta729 - May 22 - 3:19 pm

  I absolutely love this truck, I wanted to get one for a long time. Zr2 package is my favorite, because it lets the truck come already as a fun looking small sized offroad pick-up. The s10 also is still a Nice truck which ever version, u have, like 4x4,2wd, stripped, loaded, anyway its still comes as a Nice looking truck, unlike the Tacoma or Dakota were if those trucks dont come in the better models they look stripped, and cheap, the Tacoma more so.

  My S-10 - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  By Rangerdog1 - April 21 - 9:23 am

  Picked this little truck at a huge Auto Sale the local dealers in our area do every year. The put all of their vehicles, new and used, up for discounted sales. Ive done this twice and have very good luck with the autos Ive purchased. This truck was one of three that caught my eye. Its a very durable truck and its been my go to work every day vehicle. Ive averaged about 21 mpg with every fill up some times more sometimes less, depending on what Im doing with it. I also had a spray on bedliner done right after I bought. Ive hauled dirt, wood, trash, recycle stuff, and furniture. I keep up the maintenance on it and it still looks like show room quality.

  Buy one can"t go wrong! - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  By Sweet Ride - November 13 - 10:32 pm

  This truck has been an outstanding truck to drive. I have the ZR5 which has a very sporty look. Its performed great for me. So good that this is my first time ever writing a review. Its very economical, comfortable, stylish, and convenient. I highly recommend it!

  Love this truck - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  By miamiredhawk00 - June 5 - 3:56 pm

  My truck has the 4.3 V-6 and the ZQ-8 suspension package, without the ugly x- treme package. I love the look and performance of this truck, its my weekend rig so it stays in excellent condition. If your looking for a truck that looks and drives like a performance car this is it. I dont know how much weight you could put in the bed, but I really only use it for my bicycles. I purchased used and the only problems Ive had were the battery went bad at 30,000 and the 3rd door needed to be adjusted to open properly, it still squeaks a bit while driving but works fine.

  Best Truck Ive Owned Yet - 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  By Big Kat - January 29 - 9:19 am

  S-10 Crew Cab LS 4WD! Yes, it is great to drive, and own. After a few full size trucks (and very poor mileage), I was looking for a smaller, more practical family vehicle, and still wanted a truck. My wife has a 98 Astro Van with the 4.3 Vortec V-6. The S-10 Crew Cab was one of my first choices. Great power, loaded with every possible option. I get 16-17 MPG in town, and 20-23 on the highway. Awesome deal as I bought this slightly used lease return (10,000 miles on it), so the deal was great as well! I will keep this one a while. Has plenty of room for family and a fun truck that I can use to haul things around in. I put a fiberglass topper on it, looks like a Tahoe!

  Good vehicle, perfit for going to Home Depot. My wife loves it, she would rather drive the truck verses our Honda minivan.

  I love my truck. This is the 2nd S-10 I have owned and I have always regretted trading the first one. I dont drive much, as I am disabled and also use a disabled bus for long distances. I use it for errands close by, etc. After almost 2 1/2 years, it is still in immaculate, brand new condition with a whopping 1250 miles on it. I still change the oil, even though the mechanics tell me that my oil is cleaner than what they put in cars. Its a shame that Chevy stopped making this modeal. They only make the extended cab versions of the S-10, which is a very popular 4 cyclinder pick up. Love it!
