Data on the 1998 Chevrolet S10 Base

The S10 Base is equipped with a General Motors 4.3 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.

The S10 uses power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The truck uses coil and leaf springs front and rear respectively.

S10 Base Statistics

The S10 is 189.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 76.00 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 111.20 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the S10 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the standard cab pickup market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $21,740 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $19,675. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.

Fuel Efficiency

The 1998 S10's traditional fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 25.00 gallons.

The S10 Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of sixteen in-city driving and twenty when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.

Conclusion

The 1998 model year was unsuccessful for the Chevrolet S10. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
