The S10 ZR2 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.

The S10 is 189.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 75.90 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 111.00 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

The listed retail price in 1996 (MSRP) was $18,592, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Extended Cab Pickup.
