			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1999 Chevrolet released the S10 LS to the truck-buying market.  The S10 came in  four configurations: Xtreme, LS, ZR2, and  Base.  The LS configuration is powered by the 2.2-liter  four-cylinder engine, which makes 20 highway miles and 16 city.  The S10 competes in the Extended Cab Pickup market segment, in direct competition with Honda.</p>
<p><span id="more-928"></span></p>
<h3>Chevrolet S10 Engine Specs</h3>
<p>The restyled S10 LS is equipped with a General Motors 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 8 valves.  The Vortec engine is paired with a General Motors 4-speed transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The S10 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The truck uses coil front springs and leaf in the rear.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 1999 S10 is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 25.00 gallons.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The S10 is 189.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 75.20 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 111.20 inches.  It is able to seat 2 comfortably.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the S10 is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.  The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36 months or 36,000 miles respectively.  This is standard in the extended cab pickup  market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 1999 (MSRP) was $22,125, with an invoice cost of $20,023.  This price is above average of the industry average price for a  two-door Extended Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The S10 LS 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 exceptional.</p>
<p>In 1998 and 1999 the S10 LS was availble in the exterior colors of Dark Copper Metallic, Dark Forest Green Metallic, Ivory White, Light Carmine Red Metallic, Light Autumnwood Metallic, Light Autumwood Metallic, Medium Bronzemist Metallic, Medium Cadet Blue Metallic, Medium Charcoal Gray Metallic, Silvermist Metallic, and  Teal Blue Metallic.  Additional options were made available by the factory.</p>
<h3>We Think...</h3>
<p>The 1998 model began the promise of the Chevrolet S10.  The 1999 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets.  Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the S10 LS will continue to be a profitable vehicle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p><span id="more-927"></span></p>
<p>The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum.  Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The S10 uses power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and leaf in the rear.</p>
<h3>Statistics</h3>
<p>The S10 is 186.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 76.10 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 111.00 inches.  It is able to seat 1 comfortably.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the S10 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first.  There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively.  This is standard in the standard cab pickup  market.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 1994 (MSRP) was $16,064, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price.  This price is on target the industry average price for a  two-door Standard Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 1994 S10 is a Central MFI design, using gasoline fuel.  The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.</p>
<p>The 1994 S10 gets 22 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city.  This is subpar for a standard cab pickup truck.</p>
<h3>What We Think of the Chevrolet S10</h3>
<p>The 1994 model year was very successful for the Chevrolet S10.  The introduction of several trim levels (along with the ZR2 version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2002 S10 is an important vehicle to Chevrolet for the crew cab pickup market segment.  The ZR5 is a member of a series of  five trim levels for the S10 which include Xtreme, LS, ZR2, ZR5, and  Base.  The  four-door truck with its four-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet.  There is strong competition from vehicles from Honda.</p>
<p><span id="more-926"></span></p>
<h3>2002 Chevrolet S10 ZR5 Specs</h3>
<p>The S10 ZR5 is equipped with a General Motors 2.2 liter  four-cylinder engine that utilizes 8 valves.  The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The S10 comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The truck uses torsion bar front springs and leaf in the rear.</p>
<p>The fuel system for the 2002 S10 is a SFI system, running on FLEX .  The fuel is regulated by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.</p>
<h3>S10 ZR5 Statistics</h3>
<p>The S10 is 189.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 75.00 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 111.20 inches.  It is able to seat 8 comfortably.</p>
<p>There is a 36,000 mile, 36 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 36,000/36 miles/months.  This is normal for this price range.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $24,145 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of $21,851.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Crew Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The S10 ZR5 received a miles-per-gallon rating of  fifteen  in-city driving and  twenty when it came to long-distance.  Being a flex-powered green truck, this was subpar.</p>
<p>In 2001 and 2002 the S10 ZR5 was availble in the exterior colors of Dark Carmine Red Metallic, Dark Carmine Red Metallic/Light Autumnwood Metallic, Dark Carmine Red Metallic/Light Pewter Metallic, Dark Forest Green Metallic/Light Autumnwood Metallic, Dark Forest Green Metallic/Light Pewter Metallic, Ivory White, Ivory White/Light Autumnwood Metallic, Ivory White/Light Pewter Metallic, Light Autumnwood Metallic, Light Carmine Red Metallic/Light Autumnwood Metallic, Light Carmine Red Metallic/Light Pewter Metallic, Light Pewter Metallic, Medium Bronzemist Metallic/Light Pewter Metallic, Medium Cadet Blue Metallic/Light Autumnwood Metallic, Medium Cadet Blue Metallic/Light Pewter Metallic, Medium Charcoal Gray Metallic/Light Pewter Metallic, Teal Blue Metallic, Teal Blue Metallic/Light Autumnwood Metallic, and  Teal Blue Metallic/Light Pewter Metallic.  Additional options were made available by the factory.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Frequently you will find that buyers of the Chevrolet S10 are very excited about their new truck. The S10 has held a place among the top of the S10 line of truck for a long time. It is an important automobile, and the 1996 model is no different in that respect. The Chevrolet S10 comes under the heading of standard cab pickup models that are fun to drive.</p>
<p><span id="more-925"></span></p>
<h3>Chevrolet S10 Engine Specs</h3>
<p>The restyled S10 SS is equipped with a General Motors 4.3-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 12 valves.  The Vortec engine is paired with a General Motors 4-speed transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The fuel system for the 1996 S10 is a traditional Central MFI, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the S10 SS are 77.50 inches wide by 189.80 inches long.  It sits a comfortable 75.90 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  two passengers, with 2 doors.  The wheelbase of 111.00 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the S10 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first.  This is standard in the standard cab pickup  market.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $18,592 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of an industry-high price.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The 1996 S10 gets 22 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city.  This is exceptional for a standard cab pickup truck.</p>
<p>The vehicle is available in several colors.</p>
<h3>We Think...</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Chevrolet S10 SS sold well in 1996.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Chevrolet, specifically a S10.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1996 Chevrolet S10 SS was introduced to compete in the standard cab pickup market.  The SS is a member of a series of  four trim levels for the S10 which include ZR2, SS, LS, and  Base.  The  two-door truck with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet. There is strong competition from vehicles from Infiniti.</p>
<p><span id="more-924"></span></p>
<h3>Chevrolet S10 Engine Specs</h3>
<p>Chevrolet S10 Engine Specs: The S10 SS comes outfitted with a Vortec 4.3 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 12 valves. The  engine, manufactured by General Motors, is teamed up with a General Motors 4-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 1996 S10 is a Central MFI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the S10 SS are 77.50 inches wide by 189.80 inches long.  It sits a comfortable 75.90 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  two passengers, with 2 doors.  The wheelbase of 111.00 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $18,592 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of an industry-high price.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The S10 SS received a miles-per-gallon rating of  seventeen  in-city driving and  twenty two when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was exceptional.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Chevrolet S10 SS sold well in 1996.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Chevrolet, specifically a S10.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Chevrolet S10 is a 2-door truck available at your Chevrolet dealer.  The S10 came in  four configurations: ZR2, SS, LS, and  Base.  The LS configuration is powered by the 4.3-liter  six-cylinder engine, which makes 22 highway miles and 17 city.  The S10 competes in the Extended Cab Pickup market segment, in direct competition with Toyota.</p>
<p><span id="more-923"></span></p>
<h3>Chevrolet S10 Engine Specs</h3>
<p>Standard equipment in the S10 for 1995 and 1996 includes the 4.3 liter engine by General Motors, weighing in at 6 cylinders and  twelve  valves.  A 4-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the Vortec engine to the pavement.  This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Extended Cab Pickup arena.</p>
<p>The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum.  Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The S10 uses power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and leaf in the rear.</p>
<p>The fuel system for the 1996 S10 is a traditional Central MFI, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $18,592 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of an industry-average price.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Extended Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>MPG Ratings</h3>
<p>The 1996 S10 gets 22 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city.  This is subpar for a extended cab pickup truck.</p>
<p>In 1995 and 1996 the S10 LS was availble in the exterior colors of several colors.  Additional options were available as special orders from the factory.</p>
<h3>What We Think of the Chevrolet S10</h3>
<p>The 1996 model year was telling year for the Chevrolet S10.  The introduction of several trim levels (along with the LS version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The restyled S10 ZR5 is equipped with a  2.2-liter  four-cylinder engine that utilizes  8 valves.  The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors  four-speed transmission.  This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2002 version.</p>
<p><span id="more-922"></span></p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The S10 comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The truck uses torsion bar front springs and leaf in the rear.</p>
<h3>Statistics</h3>
<p>The S10 is 189.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 75.00 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 111.20 inches.  It is able to seat 2 comfortably.</p>
<p>There is a 36,000 mile, 36 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 36,000/36 miles/months.  This is normal for this price range.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2003 (MSRP) was $22,050, with a dealer invoice cost of $19,955.  This price is on target the industry average price for a  four-door Crew Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The fuel system for the 2003 S10 is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.</p>
<p>The 2003 S10 gets 23 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city.  This is subpar for a crew cab pickup truck.</p>
<h3>What We Think of the Chevrolet S10</h3>
<p>The 2002 model began the promise of the Chevrolet S10.  The 2003 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets.  Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the S10 ZR5 will continue to be a profitable vehicle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1999 S10 is an important vehicle to Chevrolet for the extended cab pickup market segment.  The ZR2 is a member of a series of  four trim levels for the S10 which include Xtreme, LS, ZR2, and  Base.  The  two-door truck with its four-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet.  There is strong competition from vehicles from Kia.</p>
<p><span id="more-921"></span></p>
<h3>Chevrolet S10 Engine Specs</h3>
<p>The S10 ZR2 is equipped with a General Motors 2.2 liter  four-cylinder engine that utilizes 8 valves.  The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The S10 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The truck uses torsion bar front springs and leaf in the rear.</p>
<h3>S10 ZR2 Statistics</h3>
<p>The S10 is 189.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 75.20 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 111.20 inches.  It is able to seat 2 comfortably.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 1999 (MSRP) was $22,125, with an invoice cost of $20,023.  This price is above average of the industry average price for a  two-door Extended Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The fuel system for the 1999 S10 is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 25.00 gallons.</p>
<p>The S10 ZR2 received a miles-per-gallon rating of  sixteen  in-city driving and  twenty when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-hybrid truck, this was subpar.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1994 S10 is an important vehicle to Chevrolet for the standard cab pickup market segment.  The Base is a member of a series of  four trim levels for the S10 which include ZR2, SS, LS, and  Base.  The  two-door truck with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet. There is strong competition from vehicles from Nissan.</p>
<p><span id="more-920"></span></p>
<h3>Engine Performance</h3>
<p>The S10 Base is equipped with a General Motors 2.2 liter  four-cylinder engine that utilizes 8 valves.  The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>S10 Base Statistics</h3>
<p>The S10 is 186.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 76.10 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 111.00 inches.  It is able to seat 1 comfortably.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 1994 (MSRP) was $16,064, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price.  This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a  two-door Standard Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>Fuel is handled for the S10 is a MPI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The gasoline is handled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.</p>
<p>The S10 Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of  seventeen  in-city driving and  twenty two when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.</p>
<h3>In Summary</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Chevrolet S10 Base sold well in 1994.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Chevrolet, specifically a S10.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The restyled S10 LS is equipped with a General Motors 4.3-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 12 valves.  The Vortec engine is paired with a General Motors 4-speed transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.</p>
<p><span id="more-919"></span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>S10 LS Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the S10 LS are 77.50 inches wide by 186.80 inches long.  It sits a comfortable 76.10 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  one passengers, with 2 doors.  The wheelbase of 111.00 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $16,064 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of an industry-low price.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Extended Cab Pickup.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>Fuel is handled for the S10 is a Central MFI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The gasoline is handled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.</p>
<p>The 1994 S10 gets 22 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city.  This is below average for a extended cab pickup truck.</p>
<h3>Parting Shots</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Chevrolet S10 LS sold well in 1994.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Chevrolet, specifically a S10.</p>
