What’s new
Exterior facelift that includes a new grille, fresh trim and restyled wheels debuted early in 1990. Four-wheel-drive models get the 4.3-liter V6 as standard equipment. Durango trim is dropped. Midyear, the base four-cylinder powerplant gets more horsepower.

1991 S-10 4.3 V6 2WD
Dave, 05/05/2006
1991 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe 2dr Regular Cab SB (2.5L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Bought it new in '91 and currently have 228K miles on it. Except for a transmission seal and some paint issues, no other repairs until 130K miles. Engine was rebuilt at 155K and has been running strong since. I've changed oil every 3K miles since purchase. It's been stolen twice in the last 3 years and keeps finding its way back home. If it wasn't for the 'peel-and-steal' steering … column I would continue to drive it to work every day. Wanted 4WD but glad I didn't get it now as some people have reported issues over the years with drivetrain. It's been a pleasure to drive and I've had some heavy loads in it in the last two years.

Trustworthy workhorse & handy

1991 Chevrolet S-10 2dr Regular Cab SB (2.5L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Bought a 2.5L 4cyl Short Box with Automatic Transmission and Rallye Wheels new in 09-91. The S10 still delivers decent mileage, competent handling, and outstanding reliability. No engine repairs. No transmission repairs. No electrical repairs under the hood. The only parts to wear out have been the fuel pump, and consequently the dashboard fuel gauge (both replaced at 138,000 miles); the … serpentine belt at 95,000 miles, and the water pump at 110,000 miles. The 4- cyl lacks punch in overdrive. But the transmission with well tuned gearing and 89 octane gas compensate nicely, provided you are willing to down-shift the automatic manually. It deserves my highest recommendation.

1991 Chevrolet S-10 2dr Regular Cab SB (2.5L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
This little truck has been only fairly
reliable. However, it's a decent
little work horse for the size. The
2.5 engine is noisy, but good on gas.
My little truck has hauled everything
from motorcycles to entertainment
centers. When one considers the cost
to own this truck with how useful it is
the only conclusion is that it's a
great little truck.

1990 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB (4.3L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Good truck. It's been dependable as can be for it being almost 17 years old. But, compared to other vehicles of different brands, the metal used for the body was very poor, the bed panel rusted out and now theres a gaping hole, the bottom of the doors have rusted, as has the left door jams. I love the truck, but I still think chevy could have done better even with the new S10's, I mean, … come on, it has only .3 liters less than Fords 4.6 V8, and yet only around 200 horses? I love my truck, enough said..
