2001 Chevrolet S-10 Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I have a 2001 which was my dad's truck, he gave it to me before he passed. And that's the only reason I'm keeping the truck. It's nice in some ways, but it's a plastic truck and cheap plastic parts are not durable. And neither are cheap alloy metals they use on handles that snap off in your hand. I don't abuse the vehicle but for the price it could have been made with better materials.

It is old, it has several problems. Tube mass air flow sensor has went out and the from tabs the front end need to be rebuilt. The lower and upper control arms need to be replaced, the sway bar is shot, the bearings need to be replaced. Also, most of the interior has fallen apart. The door panels are missing, the stereo knobs are broken off and middle consul is missing the arm rest part.

I like my Chevy s-10 because it's a truck, and possibly only because it's a truck. It's much too small for me, though it is good on gas. The interior has cracked and fallen off in the sun. I've had it tested for multiple things to try to find if there's anything wrong with it, and the results are minimal. There does show to be anything wrong with it. However when I drive it after a long day, it will sometimes start making loud thumping sounds and eventually will lose a lot of power to the point where it won't go over 10 miles per hour, and doesn't seem to move in first or second gear. It has its strange problems, but it's a very durable little truck. It's gone through a lot that would've severely messed up a regular car.

Functions well, gas mileage is pricey. AC is spotty but overall I have taken many adventures with it and it has held up to the most part.

Since I do not have a job, my vehicle is just a way to get me from point a to point b. Yet it is good for trips if I choose to go on any. Although, I do not really drive that much.

Not that bad on gas. It's a stick shift and a five speed. It does not have very much power to get up and go. But it is a extender cab that has some room in it. The bed on it is long so you have room to put stuff in it. Anything you want to. Its white and can get any color you want.

Perform really well. Good in a crash. I had one. Needs to have more seats and space for more than 3 people. My stepdaughter cant fit in the back anymore. The 2 wheel drive is gone. The air conditioning has computed. Its does start up easy. The latches on the back are rusty and won't latch the tailgate shut.

I love my truck because it gets me where I need to go. I hate it because it's falling apart. It has a terrible shake and miss.
