Chevrolet S-10 reviews and buying guide.
2002 Chevrolet S-10
With the addition of
new interior and exterior enhancements, the 2002 Chevrolet
S-10 Pickup adds even more comfort and flexibility to
its increasingly popular compact truck lineup.
For the 2002 Chevrolet
S-10 model year, all retail models add a tachometer
and air conditioning to a comprehensive list of standard
equipment that includes driver and passenger air bags,
anti-lock brakes, PASSlock theft-deterrent system, and
Daytime Running Lamps. The 2002 Chevrolet S-10 Extended
Cab models will offer a standard third door for easier
loading and access to the cargo area on the driver’s
side. The S-10 Crew Cab is now available with Graphite
leather trim interior, and Sandalwood paint is new for
2002.
"The S-10 Pickup
offers tremendous versatility with an array of body
styles and bed lengths," said Jim Campbell, S-10
Pickup brand manager. "With a Regular, Extended
and Crew Cab, we have a truck that will satisfy virtually
any truck buyer."
In addition to the three
body configurations, S-10 Pickup offers the four-wheel-
drive ZR2 Wide Stance Sport Performance Package and
the Xtreme ZQ8 Sport Suspension Package for those who
want extra variety.
The ZR2 package for off
roaders now includes special ZR2 decals on all equipped
4 x 4 Extended Cab models. It continues to be equipped
with extra-wide argent wheel flares, 46mm Bilstein high-pressure
gas shocks and 31-inch x 10.5R15-inch on/off road tires.
The Xtreme – for
those who want to change their image – features
270-degree ground effects, a front air dam with foglamps
and Optional exterior stripes available with all exterior
colors, including Dark Cherry Red Metallic, which is
new to Xtreme in 2002.
The Vortec 4300 V6 engine,
standard on all 4 x 4 models and available on 2WD models,
delivers 190 horsepower and 250 lb-ft (on 4WD only).
The efficient 2200 L4 engine with Sequential Fuel Injection
is standard on all 2WD models. The Insta-trac four-wheel-drive
system, allowing push-button on-the-fly four-wheel drive,
is standard on all 4 x 4 models.
"S-10 Pickup has
always been an affordable, reliable and versatile truck
that delivers the dependability that consumers demand,"
said Campbell. "It can be tailored to fit the variety
of needs and on-the-go lifestyles that so many people
lead."
Several interior amenities
come standard in the S-10 Pickup. Delayed interior lighting
keeps the dome lamp lit for 15 seconds or until the
ignition is turned on after closing the front doors.
The stereo, power windows, and other power Options remain
active for up to 20 minutes after the ignition is turned
off or a door is open, thanks to the retained accessory
power feature.
With a maximum wheelbase
of 122.9-inches and a minimum payload of 1111 lbs. (Crew
Cab model), the Pickup also is extremely nimble and
maneuverable for city driving or hauling, making the
S-10 Pickup a smart choice for every compact pickup
buyer.
