Chevy S-10 — Excellent daily driver, comfortable and has great ac. definately not a speed demon or fun to drive and lacks power immensely. i did get a good deal on it and it runs great. the body isnt anything special to look at but it is nice to have a bed to put stuff in and a tailgate to sit on.

Good Truck — It's a good truck, but the differential sucks. I only have 75000 on it and I guess the guy before me screwed around with it too much. Those gov-lock rear ends can't take too much wheel spinning. and off road... in the mud, wheels can spin. the truck doesn't get stuck unless the wheels around on the ground, happened to me once, and i dug it out, and was on my way. the wheel bearings are kinda weak, but that's it so far. It is a pretty damn strong truck, and looks pretty good too.

Pros

basic--crank windows, entry-level seats...the thing would have lasted forever

Cons

4-cylinder engine is horribly mis-matched for this vehicle making merging on the freeway an exercise in luck and reckless insanity.

Good For Light Hauling And Basic A To B Travel — i don't have much to say about this. it was a basic two door 2-wheel drive truck. good for basic truck needs in all respects. there are better options as far as light trucks go, but i would still recommend it. the thing never let me down, especially when i rolled it and walked away with only scratches from broken glass.

Great Little Truck — I got this truck with 11 miles on the odometer and haven't had any problems with it except for a bad thermostat seal, but it was covered under warranty. Handles great, has decent power, and is just overall reliable. I like the small size of the truck for fourwheeling.

Pros

cheaper, a lot of potential, solid, easy to modify

Cons

tops out at 100, moderate roll on tighter turns, the seats, not a lot of power outa the factory but if u got the money u can get serious power

The Rumble Bee — My S-10 xtreme is the last of its kind. I got a yellow with black stripes 4.3L V-6 manual with all the factory options. Yellow wasn't my first choice but this was the only one I could find that came with the V-6 and the stick shift. Its a fun car that can be easily modified to make it unique. the V-6 is full of potential and i've seen people squeeze 500HP out of the engine. It hits the governor a little below 100mph which sucks since you don't even notice your going that fast and the tachometer is only readin around 3000rpm. The locking rear diff comes in handy for reasonable handling and good burn outs. The sport suspension option does work well enough if you want to leave the whole car stock but you do notice some roll when you hit the tighter turns.

The Greatest All Around Vehicle Ever! — Great for fast turns and short races, if you have the 4.3. Can handle how ever much hell as you want to give it. Very tough transmission and motor.
