2000 Chevrolet S-10 - I really like the truck. It's economical and trustworthy. I have driven it for over 130,000 miles.

It has been a great truck. I have put over 130,000 miles on it and have had only minor problems. Of course, the brakes and other normal parts have been replaced. It gets great gas mileage and runs on regular. It's only a four cylinder but cruises down the highway like a V-6. I did have to put a new spring in the driver's side door after years of opening and closing the spring finally broke. No big deal.
Story
I took it too the beach one day and got stuck in the sand. These trucks are very light weight and aren't good in snowy or slippery conditions. I finally had to get some help from some of the local surfers to push me out of the sand. Once I was loose, I took off laughing and had no other problems.
Pros
The ride is not like a truck at all. It rides more like a sedan, especially when it's loaded down. It has plenty of power out on the highway, and I have no trouble passing cars when need be. I am able to merge into traffic quite easily since it's a five speed, and all I need to do is down shift to fourth gear and pour the coal to it. The height off the ground is great for visual purposes being able to see cars coming from behind and in the front.
Cons
There aren't many cons to mention. I wish it were a bit quieter when going at high speeds. The wind seems to knock it around quite a bit if it is blowing really hard. But I suppose that could be due to the fact that it has a topper on the bed. The shifting sometimes is a bit difficult. But that could be a clutch problem that has been with the truck ever since I bought it.

2001 Chevrolet S-10 - Fun little truck

At the turn of the century, the regular cab, short-bed Chevy S-10 was a close to a muscle car as Chevrolet made. The Camaro was on hiatus, and the Corvette was at the long end of a run. With the 2WD drive pick-up equipped with a V6 and manual transmission, there was a great deal of fun to be had for very little money. The 2WD regular cab is light and powerful. The reliability was also remarkable with many of these little trucks going 200,000 miles. While it isn't large, it does do very well under load. The interior is modest, but comfortable. And with a rubber interior, it is easy to wash clean with a hose. The base model also avoids any power accessories. It has very little to go wrong. Just basic and fun transportation.
Story
Great vehicle for two, working, fishing or just cruising. Plenty of fun on the road or off.
Pros
The radio delete option. There is no need to pay for a lame factory stereo and cheap speakers. Very good manual transmission. Locking rear dif is about all you need to get out of most mud, well, if you drop the all-season radials, anyway. The sliding rear window largely bypasses the need for A/C, at least in the mid-to-northern latitudes.
Cons
While it goes, with small disc brakes in the front and smaller drum brakes in the rear, it doesn't really stop very well. Think 1970s stopping power. The paint is a bit thin, watch out when working, or leaning against the vehicle. Now, the rear end is geared at 3.08 with the V6 + manual combination, the tires will chirp, but they will not spin wildly. Just in case you were curious, or so inclined.

This is my 4th vehicle from them in the past 13 years, all the others were new. They always get me what I want, especially payment wise. I tell them which payment I can deal with and they have been always very close to it.
