Chevrolet S-10


For years, compact pick-ups were favored by the younger, single and economy-minded crowd. Trucks like the Chevy S-10 still figure prominently in this market segment, but the recent trend toward 3 and 4 door crew cab chassis configurations has expanded their appeal beyond traditional demographic boundaries. With five variations on the compact pickup theme, the S-10 stands tall in this realm.

Introduction of the 4-wheel-drive Crew Cab S-10 put this truck in a good market position. Bigger and more versatile than the 3-door, smaller and easier to maneuver than a full-size truck, the Crew Cab filled an empty niche in the S-10 camp. Crew Cab is available with a Graphite leather trim interior and Sandalwood exterior color. The next rung down the S-10 ladder is the extended-cab model, available in 2-or 4-wheel drive.

Additional standard equipment, which has also been added to this and all S-10 retail (non-fleet) models included air conditioning and a tachometer. For added customer convenience, two significant suspension upgrades are available. Two wheel drive models can now receive the ZQ8 Sport Suspension Package, which is, in fact, standard on Xtreme models. This setup features a 2-in-lower ride height and comes with special shocks, springs, anti-roll bars and 16 x 8-in. wheels. Four wheel drive models can go the other direction with ZR2 Wide Stance Sport Performance suspension package, Designed for more than casual off-road driving.
