Standard equipment in the S10 for 2001 and 2002 includes the 2.2 liter engine by General Motors, weighing in at 4 cylinders and eight valves. A 4-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the Vortec engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Standard Cab Pickup arena.

The S10 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The truck uses coil and leaf springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the S10 Base are 77.50 inches wide by 189.80 inches long. It sits 75.00 inches off the ground. It seats a standard eight passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 111.20 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

The standard warranty period for the S10 is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 36 months or 36,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the standard cab pickup market.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $24,145 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $21,851. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2002 S10 is a SFI design, using FLEX fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.

The 2002 S10 gets 20 miles/gallon on the highway and only 15 in the city. This is subpar for a standard cab pickup truck.

We Think...

The 2002 model year was telling year for the Chevrolet S10. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
