2002 Chevrolet S-10 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I bought this as my third S 10. It was found in another state. I fell in love from the minute I saw it and bought it. It has been a great truck a work horse when needed and a family vehicle as well. I have used it for long and short trips. Presently it has 150000+ miles.

Ignition e fuse continued blowing every time I turned the key on. Truck would start however the ac seemed to be on same circuit. If course after so the hot weather was done I found where the issue was. The wire harness that runs behind brake master cylinder has about a dozen wires running appeared to have insulation stripped of most of the wires leaving them exposed and eventually touching this blowing fuse. Possibly from brake fluid spilled onto wires is my guess but insulation was only melted but wires were not discolored so no sign of electrical short causing insulation to melt. Repaired wires and everything is perfect. How this may help someone having the problem I did and hopefully someone needing solution to same problem will find this and have a better chance of solving.

Probably the BEST mid size pickup EVER built next to the Toyota Hilux. It has the largest V6 engine in it's class (4.3l). This thing is a beast off road. My only complaint is that Chevy doesn't make the S-10 with the ZR2 package anymore (since 2003). ZR2 Specs (unique to the ZR2 package): -Ladder Type Frame with Modified Mounting Points -100mm wider track (3.9 inches wider than regular S-10) -Increased Ground Clearance (Approx 3" over Regular S-Series 4x4) -Enhanced front (7.25" ring gear) and rear (8.5" ring gear) axles w/ 3.73:1 rear-axle ratio -Larger wheel and axle bearings -31 x 10.50" BFG A/T Tires -Fender Flares -46mm gas pressurized Bilstein Monotube shocks -Rear Track Bar -Skid Plates -Front/Rear Disc brakes (on newer models) -Full Size Spare Tire

I purchase new 2000 2wd 4cyl and drive for 110k, good truck never any real issues, earned its keep and drove it all over the US. Upset that they don't make the S-10 any more the Colorado is no S-10, recently upgraded to 4wd 6cyl. more power, better performance, by purchasing 2002 S10 for a good deal. Hope to get 3 years out of it.

i love everything bout both of my trucks... nothing bad to say bout them. the acceleration with my 18" rims on it is awesome as well as braking. it has not needed ne repairs since i bought it. i love the appearance of it both inside and outside. the truck is def fun to drive cruise whatever.

I'm very pleased with this as a Wi truck and would recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive yet reliable truck. Not for the Baja circuit but suits me just fine for the tank trails of FT McCoy for hunting & fishing.

Overall I have to say i love my truck, even its stock configuration performs very well, I think that chevy should have made all of there trucks Posi Rear end though. having a uni-wheel sucks in the winter, accelerates pretty fast but the brakes could use some tuning. Very solid built truck that has the nice power of a 4.3L vortec pushing out just over 200HP on a light frame makes a fun ride. very nice looking trucks as there is a lot of work you can do here and there to make it even more beautiful.

I've had my truck for almost 2 years now and I have had nothing but trouble out of the thing. Changing the oil is one of the most dawnting tasks to preform. The oil filter is at such a weird position, its almost impossible to get to. The truck is a little weak in the performance area but it is after all a 4 cylinder. It does sound however like a beast. Gas milage isn't that bad if you have clean fuel lines unlike me. I was driving on 3 cylinders for awhile and only getting 9 mpg. The interior is actually spacious and this is coming from a 6'2 guy. The S-10 is a highly customizable car with millions of ways to do it. I've had numerious problems with the e-brake but it does help if the people install it right the first time. The ride is smooth, handling is pretty good. It preforms pretty amazing off-road for a 2WD. Its cheap and easy to maintain (besides changing the oil filter) but you'll have to do it often.

its a truck does what it should although not very fuel efficient because of a crappy intake design but other than that it has been a very reliable good truck good if you don't like driving a truck because it drives more like a car

I love my truck! If you are going to get an s-10, get a ZR-2!
