2002 Chevrolet S10

CHEVY S-10 PICKUP CONTINUES TO OFFER TRUCK CUSTOMERS A RELIABLE, VERSATILE AND AFFORDABLE PICKUP

With the addition of new interior and exterior enhancements, Chevrolet's S-10 Pickup adds even more comfort and flexibility to its increasingly popular compact truck lineup.

For 2002, all retail models add a tachometer and air conditioning to a comprehensive list of standard equipment that includes driver and passenger air bags, anti-lock brakes, PASSlock theft-deterrent system, and Daytime Running Lamps. Extended Cab models will offer a standard third door for easier loading and access to the cargo area on the driver's side. The Crew Cab is now available with Graphite leather trim interior, and Sandalwood paint is new for 2002.

'The S-10 Pickup offers tremendous versatility with an array of body styles and bed lengths,' said Jim Campbell, S-10 Pickup brand manager. 'With a Regular, Extended and Crew Cab, we have a truck that will satisfy virtually any truck buyer.'

In addition to the three body configurations, S-10 Pickup offers the four-wheel- drive ZR2 Wide Stance Sport Performance Package and the Xtreme ZQ8 Sport Suspension Package for those who want extra variety.

The ZR2 package for off roaders now includes special ZR2 decals on all equipped 4 x 4 Extended Cab models. It continues to be equipped with extra-wide argent wheel flares, 46mm Bilstein high-pressure gas shocks and 31-inch x 10.5R15-inch on/off road tires.

The Xtreme – for those who want to change their image – features 270-degree ground effects, a front air *** with foglamps and Optional exterior stripes available with all exterior colors, including Dark Cherry Red Metallic, which is new to Xtreme in 2002.

The Vortec 4300 V6 engine, standard on all 4 x 4 models and available on 2WD models, delivers 190 horsepower and 250 lb-ft (on 4WD only). The efficient 2200 L4 engine with Sequential Fuel Injection is standard on all 2WD models. The Insta-trac four-wheel-drive system, allowing push-button on-the-fly four-wheel drive, is standard on all 4 x 4 models.

'S-10 Pickup has always been an affordable, reliable and versatile truck that delivers the dependability that consumers demand,' said Campbell. 'It can be tailored to fit the variety of needs and on-the-go lifestyles that so many people lead.'

Several interior amenities come standard in the S-10 Pickup. Delayed interior lighting keeps the dome lamp lit for 15 seconds or until the ignition is turned on after closing the front doors. The stereo, power windows, and other power Options remain active for up to 20 minutes after the ignition is turned off or a door is open, thanks to the retained accessory power feature.

With a maximum wheelbase of 122.9-inches and a minimum payload of 1111 lbs. (Crew Cab model), the S-10 Pickup also is extremely nimble and maneuverable for city driving or hauling, making the S-10 Pickup a smart choice for every compact pickup buyer.
