2001 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"Good truck for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems. The stock Tiger Paw tires looked almost like new with 20K miles on them.
General comments?
My S-10 was the standard cab with 4 cylinder and five speed manual transmission. I bought it new. I drove the truck pretty hard with a lot of gas pedal to the metal because the small engine lacks power. I also exceeded the towing capacity several times towing a boat about 500 pounds above the towing capacity. I overloaded the bed a few times also. The truck handled the abuse very well for a cheap truck. It got about 16-20 miles per gallon depending on conditions. I have since moved up to a full size Chevy truck rated to handle the abuse that I give it.
