Chevrolet S-10 Usados en Venta en Los Angeles, CA

My friends and I have owned s10's since we were old enough to drive. I bought my Chevy s10 for $3800.00 with 168k on the odometer. Since that time it has towed my boats, pulled trucks 3 times its size off the beach, been loaded with 1500 lbs. of concrete blocks for home improvement projects, spent a good deal of time off -roading in the hills of KY, and all the while took me an additional 72,000 miles. I have now passed the truck to my brother who uses it every day. I can't say enough good things about it. It is completely bulletproof. There is a good reason you see so many of these things on the road to this day. There is nothing on the road today that possesses the rugged simplicity of the S10.

Historia

I used this truck for work and towing and beat the living piss out of it.

A Favor

Smooth shifting reliable automatic transmission. This is the most reliable transmission out there. Sure other transmissions have 5 and 6 speeds but the s10 makes the most out of its 4 gears. Cruises at 70mph at approximately 2000 rpm which is within the torque band for towing. Repair parts for the s10 are plentiful and cheap. Any part that is needed to repair a S10 is available at any auto parts store. Parts are significantly less than other trucks in the class. 4.3L V6. Any mechanic will tell you this is one of the most reliable engines made by any manufacturer. It may not be the most eff... (more)

En Contra

Cabin materials- All hard plastic. All pieces have gaps between them. Then again its a truck. What do you expect. Stock stereo- I would suggest replacing with any aftermarket along with the speakers Electronic Transfer Case motor- If you use 4 wheel drive often this will go out and need to be replaced.

1998 Chevrolet S-10 - S-10 Holds Up, But Falls Apart at the Same Time

This little truck packs a powerful punch with a full size motor under the hood. Yep, people are shocked to find out there is a 4.3 liter, V6 engine in this little thing. The extended cab is a plus! It's so convenient being able to open the back door to keep stuff out of the rain or to even seat another person on the little fold out seat in the passenger wall. This truck came with so many surprises. From the outside she looks just like any other truck, but she can haul with the big dogs - almost! Great for moving furniture and other large items, yet able to fit into a compact spot at the Walmart parking lot! Good job, GM, I love how you designed this truck. Some things I would change, however, would be the plastic components used. After 15 years, the visors are breaking down and the se... (more)

Historia

I love my memories of hitting the river with my best girlfriends and my two dogs. We would load up and meet the girls at the river bottoms and spend the days soaking up the sun and letting the dogs roam. It was good times.

A Favor

This Chevrolet came with a nice stock stereo; great for jamming out to your favorite tunes on those long drives or even short trips. The seats are made of a comfortable fabric that has stood the test of time. Being able to turn off the passenger seat air bag has frequently come in handy since there are many times that I have children riding with me. There are also map lights on the rear view mirror that are especially convenient so you don't blind yourself by turning on the cab light on a dark road while looking for something. I love how the back windows open up and you can have a nice b... (more)

En Contra

Some of the downsides of this truck have been the issues with the plastic components. The visors have vanity mirrors on both the passenger and driver's sides, and the mirrors have plastic covers. The hinges are plastic and have snapped off on both sides. This has been a pain and one day I will replace the visors, but wish I did not have to. Also, the screws that hold in the handles for the seats (to recline them forward or backwards) have snapped off on both the passenger and driver's sides. I am not sure if I'll ever be able to fix those, but I'm lucky the seats are in okay positions and... (more)
