The Xtreme is essentially a rear-wheel-drive S-10 pickup that's been lowered two inches; it comes with the ZQ8 suspension and ground effects bodywork. (Look for our review of the standard S-10 pickup.) The Xtreme Sport Appearance Package is available with Base trim or LS trim. You can order it as a Regular Cab or Extended Cab in either Fleetside or Sportside body styles. (Sportside bodies feature stylish exposed fenders and a narrower pickup box. Fleetside bodies offer a standard-size bed with internal fenders. Base trim is only available with a Regular Cab Fleetside body.)
The Xtreme package includes the upgraded dash package with a tachometer and a nice leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Preferred Equipment Group (which retails for $3,236) bundles the Xtreme package with floor mats and an AM/FM stereo; a CD player can be added for $180. High-back bucket seats are a $291 option, as are tilt-wheel and speed control ($395). A third door is available for extended cab bodies for $295 and sliding rear window is available for $120. A Power Convenience Group, including power locks, mirrors and windows, remote keyless entry and content anti-theft are another $795.
A well-optioned Xtreme with the 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine ranges from $15,199 to $18,624. A V6 adds about $1,350 and we drove one equipped this way that retailed for $23,422.
