Used 2004 Chevrolet S-10
Buying Guide for the Chevrolet S-10:
Eventually, the Chevrolet S-10 will be replaced by the all-new
Colorado, a compact pickup that is slightly bigger. To make
way for the new Colorado, Chevrolet has decided to slowly
wean the public off the S-10.
Therefore, for 2004 the S-10 will only be offered as a four-door
crew cab. This highly versatile pickup has always been a favorite
among buyers, and serves as a good model to ride off into
the sunset with.
The S-10 crew cab has standard four-wheel drive, four conventional
side doors and a 4.6-ft cargo bed in the back. It will continue
to be as rugged and manageable as before, especially as it
wants to go out with a good legacy.
Under the Hood
The sole powertrain with the 2004 S-10 is a 4.3-liter Vortec
V6 engine, able to muster 180 horsepower at 4400 rpm and 245
lb-ft of torque at 2800 rpm. The engine has such practical
features as roller rocker arms, a roller timing chain, powdered
metal timing chain sprocket and a number of extended-life
features like platinum-tip spark plugs, precise engine timing,
extended-life engine coolant and a single accessory drive
belt. It is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The fuel rating for the S-10 crew cab is 15/19 (city/highway).
Ready for hauling, the 2004 S-10 has a maximum payload of
1,111 lbs.
S-10’s standard 4WD Insta-trac system features an electronic
shift transfer case for shift-on-the-fly capability by using
an instrument panel-mounted push button. Insta-trac also features
a 4WD Low setting for more demanding 4WD situations.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
With four full doors, the S-10 can handle five adult passengers
without a problem. It is fitted with a number of convenient
features like delayed interior lighting, which keeps the dome
lamp lit for 15 seconds or until the ignition is turned on
after closing the front doors.
Other standard features for 2004 include air conditioning,
a tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, cloth
upholstery, heated power mirrors, power windows and door locks,
remote keyless entry and an AM/FM/CD player.
An available ZR5 Appearance Package gives the S-10 Spectra
Gray wheel flares and bumpers, 15-inch cast-aluminum five-spoke
wheels, side steps, bed rails, roof rack and ZR5 decals.
