The Little Truck That Could… Use a Miracle



Ah, the 1990 Chevy S-10—a relic from a time when trucks were compact, utilitarian, and about as comfortable as a church pew. This particular specimen boasts an odometer reading of 100,433 miles, which the seller casually mentions has “rolled over.” So, is it 100K? 200K? Your guess is as good as theirs.
The V6 engine and automatic transmission are present, but with the A/C on permanent vacation (thanks to the extinct R12 refrigerant) and a reluctance to engage reverse gear, you’re in for a driving experience that’s equal parts sauna and surprise. On the bright side, it has a “newer battery,” a “clean title,” and “no check engine lights”—a trifecta of mediocrity. The “heat works,” which is fantastic news for those chilly days when you’re pondering why you bought this thing.
Buy Rating: Probably worth it if you need a cheap work truck, but don’t expect much. Similar S-10s in better condition have been listed for $7,500 to $21,315, depending on mileage and upkeep. Given this one’s quirks and potential high mileage, the $2,500 asking price is wishful thinking.

Long long bed
“A trifecta of mediocrity” was what I said after my last orgy
Amazing bed dimensions – miss seeing trucks with one row of seats
I could fit so much drywall in that bad boy.
