The S-10 mimics the big Chevy pickups with the horizontal bar grille and nicely rounded contours. It looks like a truck. No trick, no gimmicks, just sincere serviceability.Our test truck had an accessory bedliner available from dealers, good for keeping the double-wall pickup box safe from dents and scratches. The bed has four tie-downs, one at the upper edge of each corner. More would be helpful, actually, in securing loads of various sizes.
The standard 4x4 S-10 doesn't shout its identity, though the P235/75R15 on/off road tires are a hint. And if you know your S-10 wheel availability chart, you'll know that these five-spoke aluminum wheels (freshened for 2001) are available only with four-wheel drive.
More important for those with work to do: The tailgate on the 4x4 drops for a 27.2-inch lift-over height, actually lower than the long box and extended cab 4x2 S-10s. Next Page
