Used Chevrolet S-10 for Sale in Jacksonville, FL

At first I wasn't a fan of the vehicle, but that was 7+ years and 125,000 miles ago. I have only had to replace the tires and the starter over the 7 years of owning this truck, it is bar none, the best and most reliable truck that I have ever owned. True Chevy before they turned into what they are now. Great lines, great reliability, great gas mileage, great towing ability.

Story

When my brother and myself moved back to Gainesville from Orlando, FL, we packed this truck to the gills. We were pulling a double axle open trailer that couldn't have had one more thing stacked on it, and the truck bed was in the same condition. We may have had to run 50mph up 441 to get back, but the old girl never sputtered once and took us the whole way back. I promised her if she got me h... (more)

Pros

It is incredibly reliable, it is great on gas and it isn't a bad looking ride either. It can pull with the best of them, the 2.8l v6 will pull things you wouldn't believe. I have pulled cars and full sized trucks with the little v6, the only thing I have upgraded are the shocks to accommodate the extra load, but it pulls like the load isn't even back there. I would recommend this truck/engine to just about anyone looking for a small, gas friendly truck. Last note is it is incredibly easy to work on. I can at 6'5"and 240 pounds get almost under the hood and close it behind me when working o... (more)

Cons

None that I can think of off the top of my head. It is geared a bit low so it does get up to speed a little slower than some, but it will pull with most of the smaller V8s offered by other manufacturers. After about 30 years the paint on the roof of the truck will start to peel, but as far as the performance of the engine and the reliability of the truck. I have never owned a more reliable/dependable truck. Would recommend to anyone buying a vehicle in the near future.

1994 Chevrolet S-10 - This is a reliable vehicle.

It is a small truck, so has the benefits of a truck but the handling and gas mileage closer to a car. It has good acceleration for its size and most of the engine is easy to work on and has easy to find parts. The tires, to replace are not as expensive as a larger truck but it can still haul a good size load. It's older, so it does not have all the gadgets the new cars do, but in my mind, it means less to break and/or replace. I like that it does not have a chip "brain", way less trouble for a mechanic. The inside space is a good bit bigger than it looks from the outside. Which means plenty of leg room for taller people and bulky items you do not want to transport in the bed. If you add in the space of the truck bed as well, you can move a great deal of items with no problem at all. It... (more)

It's painted in a unique manner, and has made more friends than I have! People I do not know, compliment it at red lights.
