"Very good truck"

The S-10 Pickup is a very reliable truck. Mine is a 95 with a little over 80,000 miles on it. Great for everyday driving and also great for driving once or twice a week. It will get you to where you need to go. I haven't had many problems with mine. Most of my costs have been from the typical items such as oil changes, mufflers, etc. I have had to replace the water pump and ignition switch as the most costliest repairs, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 12-year old vehicle. Very comfortable to drive and easy to manuever around. Mine is 2-wd so not the best in the snow, but most light pickups are that way. You can minimize that problem by buying a good set of tires to get you around in the winter. Performance is solid and reliable. Not that best at acceleration, especially at lower speeds. Also, doesn't run as well with the AC on, but I don't use that much anyway. Overall, I am very pleased with this truck. It is a great truck for anyone at any age. I am just disappointed they quit making them. I love my S-10.

Critical Review

"fair running condition"

This vehicle was purchased with a transmission change and the body in fair condition. Later was wrecked and made the body in a not fair condition, but it does change its SS running condition. I call it two face because it was wrecked on one side and the other side looks like a new car.

Just wanted to know

Réd, 3 door. 6 cylinder. Hígh road mileage but low off-road & Farm mileage. Purchased by me in Dec 1998. Very clean. Needs only minor chip in paint touchup añd door panels secured. Perfect size which is why I have planned to keep it for my lifetime. Currently in declining health but wife and I both love our S10 pickup.

Barely driven since 2015

Needs a battery to crank

This is a 1998 S10 V6 Vortec . A mechanic got water in the engine. I had the engine rebuilt. That was about 5000 miles ago Petena on the hod and top. It has good exterior except for the glove box door. It has a radio with disc player.
