2000 Chevrolet S10 Review Summary & Specs
Base Regular Cab Pickup
Slammed for attention.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
The Xtreme is a good-looking truck, admired by ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages. Despite the proscription on trailering, the Xtreme is also useful for moving the stuff of your life when that stuff needs to be moved.
The handling is good, considering it's a truck, and the ride isn't terribly bad, though it wouldn't be our choice for a long drive on a bad road. We'd be willing to wager, however, that most Xtremes will be purchased just for its handsome profile because, hey, it's a nice truck.
