Used 2000 Chevrolet S-10 Regular Cab Consumer Reviews
Eh....
All in all, I would *not* buy this truck again if I had the chocie. The wheels are DANGEROUS. I've hydroplaned hardcore 2 times already, the second one resulting in the near destruction of my truck and my life. They are constantly requiring my attention with air. The suspension is very fun though, taking curves at 90mph+ totally works with this little truck. The 2.2L in heat is absolutley horrid. The engine will make a thunderous roaring noise when accelerating from a complete stop...the engine sounds like it'll explode sometimes.
Super short truck
I bought my 2000 S10 4x4 4.3L engine BRAND NEW in 2000! Have had so little problems with it in these 24 years that are hardly worth mentioning. Replaced alternator (turned out there was nothing wrong with the original, but a little noisy). Replaced one tail light bulb. Obviously a couple of batteries or so. NEVER have replaced ANY brakes, spark plugs, u-joints, fuel system, A/C, auto transmission, etc, etc. BEST VEHICLE I EVER OWNED AND I INTEND TO KEEP IT UNTIL I DIE!!!!

S-10
Replaced tie-rod, upper & lower ball joints (had no grease fittings), rusted fuel line (garage kept), all before the truck had 50,000 miles. It's a shame you have to payout over $2,000 for these types of repairs and you're still making payments! I've heard other similar problems with these types of GM vehicles from friends and neighbors and I got about the same (that's typical) response from most of them. Absolutely terrible gas mileage for a small truck. Just terrible! Extremely rough riding vehicle. (Teddy Roosevelt would have liked it). I don't care to drive it and I can't wait to get a new one.
Nothing special-
The acceleration really blows with a 2.2 liter engine. Even with the 5 sp. I am having a hard time pulling a 1500 lb. trailer. Suspension sucked so bad that I had to put on air ride shocks. The interior is very comfortable and the truck rides more like a car than a true truck. Fuel economy should be better than the 20 mpg I am getting. A/C really bogs down the acceleration. Had to spend 3K bucks in extras to get the truck to meet my expectations.
Chevy Works
