1996 Chevrolet S-10 consumer reviews

It's a Chevy S10 LS V6 could have been the awesome wishlist turbo , bigger headers, roll bar. Bigger better routed wiring harness. About 4 inches on my side wider front end under left Right about 3 in more on the front bumpers and back bumpers positraction rear ends I need to be 5 in more on right side left right inside cab another 12 in front side to back more inside long beds needed to be a longer bed at least 22 inche more 12 in wider would be the best S10 LS ever ty ty again Chevy keep up the good work

I am the second owner of this truck. I love it, she gets me pretty much every place I want to go, I only wish she had the back seat for my dogs to ride with me. She scoots along quite nicely, and I fill her up once every six weeks. I’ve put about 80,000 miles on her, and plan to leave her to my oldest daughter one day, when I can fly with my own wings. 😁

Great engine and transmission Daily driver Starts and runs strong Nothing wrong mechanically Great truck for outdoors or just to get around Zr2 upgraded suspension Brand new oversized tires

The S-10 was an awesome truck for Chevrolet and I wish they would bring it back w/ modern touches! The vehicle was purchased only slightly used, and was one of the easiest vehicles to personalize, as there were plenty of custom parts available for this ride! This ended up being a "show" truck and received many wonderful commentaries. The ride was comfortable, engine powerful, and was desired by many. The fact that it was a show truck that could still haul heavy bulky items was just a bonus! I highly recommend!

2.2 L durable needs 5 speed. 30 mpg good American truck fixes easy, body solid, Find 1 buy it & keep

I am the second owner of my 2000 S10 LS and it has just over 100,000 miles.Runs great, easy to work on and maintain. It's the cheap interior items that cause the headaches. The seat recline levers are made of cheap material and are prone to breaking. The 3rd door latch is plastic, as is the assembly inside, which is prone to breaking. Chevrolet really didn't have to skimp THAT much. Outside of these things, its a sound truck.

Great truck for the money. Won't find any better!! Great truck for the money. Won't find any better!!

I've had two S-10 pickups in recent years (1991 & 1996) Got the 91 with 39K on it and sold it with 177K and regretted it within a week. Got the 96, can't remember the mileage, about 5 years ago and am now at 197K+. Oyer than the normal upkeep it has been a reliable vehicle until this week. It is the process of getting a 5-speed tranny in it. my first big expense in over 150K miles. I will drive thi thing until it is nothing but the perverbial pile of rusted junk. My 91 costs were a wheel bearing, water pump, taken out by a busted fan, and a new throwout bearing.All in all both of these trucks have only set me back about $8-9 hundred bucks. I don't feel that's too much for about 287K of driving. The absolutely worst thing about the S-10 pickup is that Chevrolet QUIT MAKING IT!! BTW both of mine were/are the 4 banger and 22-28 MPG. They always got me home. Love them. Looking for another one now to sock away util the current one dies. I would recommend them to anyone.

2wd, v6, extened cab. I was rushed into buying my s-10 but I'm glad I did. For a small truck it has plenty of room, I couldn't imagine having a truck without an extended cab. The engine gave me plenty of power and even being 2wd I have never been stuck regardless of the Central NY snow. Decent on gas: best ever 29mpg, average summer 21mpg, average winter 16mpg There are some predictable problems: rust will form on the wheel wells and under the doors (assuming you live in snowy areas), the tailgait cables will snap, coolant seals will eventually leak and there will be abs computer problems.
