I saw the recent news about Chevrolets and their reliability. I personally would check out web sites like edmunds.com and others before I made a choice of a truck like the S10.
I found some gross errors in your article about the 2001 S-10 Xtreme, 3-door. The gasoline tank holds 18½ gallons, NOT 27 gallons. It will seat THREE comfortably, NOT 8. The rear brakes are DRUM brakes, not disc. You should check “Statistics” about this vehicle. Someone carelessly entered unreliable information about the 2001 S-10 Xtreme.
I would recommend you publish information written ONLY by a person whose research is reliable. jmm
I happen to like both the Chevrolet S-10 and the GMC Sonoma. They are well-made, have quiet, comfortable rides and are dependable. jmm
