2000 Chevrolet S-10 LS Ext Cab 2WD review from North America
"A lot of truck in a small package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone out.
General comments?
If you want a small truck with power, the S-10 with the 4.3L V6 is the way to go. Unlike the 4 cylinder, the V6 is an actual truck engine design. The 2.2L I4 is a modified version of the Cavalier Engine. The V6 is basically the tried and true Chevy 350, that has been used for years, with two less cylinders. This engine pulls from idle which is good for hauling/towing.
The extended cab is another nice option. I also have the third door and find the extra room convenient. Although there are seats in the back, they are not good for long rides.
I also got mine with a limited slip rear differential. This feature has saved me from getting stuck several times already.
The S-10 feels solid and well made. The V6 is a much better engine than the 4 cylinder though.
