Used Chevy Trucks
Given the number of used chevy trucks on the market, it can be difficult knowing which one to buy. One that has proven extremely popular since it appeared on the scene back in 1981 is the S10. The S10 truck has proven very popular with those who need a pickup that can carry plenty of weight but also don’t cost too much too run.
Chevy has produced a number of S10 trucks so there are plenty to choose from is buying a used chevy. The first model to appear on the scene was the regular 2 door cab version. However over time new models were introduced that came with much larger cabs. So of course these were suitable for carrying more than just three people. But it was another 9 years before Chevrolet chose to come out with a 4 door version of what was proving to be a very popular truck in the USA.
As well as coming with different size cabs this truck has a couple of different size engines. The first type of truck they introduced came with a 4 cylinder engine; however it wasn’t very long before an engine with 6 cylinders was then put into production. Both of these engines are pretty powerful and yet unlike other trucks of a similar size they are designed to be much more fuel efficient. This is because the engines turn at much lower speeds so of course this means that must less fuel needs to be burnt to provide the engine with power.
On average the 4 cylinder engine that Chevrolet introduced was able to produce 84 horse power and torque of 101 pounds per feet. This was pretty good for a vehicle of this size. But when they introduced the 6 cylinder model then of course things changed. This engine had the ability to produce 115 hp and 148 pounds feet of torque.
Types of used chevy trucks for sale
Looking for used chevy trucks for sale that are going to get the heads of others turning as you drive past? Then why not consider investing in the Chevy S10 Extreme. The first that you will notice with this particular model of the S10 truck is that the cab has been extended. As a result if you want it comes with a third door fitted on the driver’s side. This then makes it far easier for you to put items you want protected from the elements in the back of the cab without having to throw them over the passenger or driver’s seat to do so.
Also what you may find depending on the size of people who will be riding in the vehicle that the extended cab has space that can fit up to four in it comfortably. But rather than a bench seat being fitted as you find in most trucks of this size it instead comes jump seats in the rear that are side mounted. However, if you choose the S10 Extreme with the third door then of course one of the rear seats will be removed. This however then allows more room for the passenger in the back plus of course providing more storage space.
When looking for used s10 trucks for sale, you will find that there are two options to choose fromwith the S10. You can either go for the standard fleetside model or instead go for the sportside. However, if you are intending to use yours for carrying items, not just the weekly shopping then the fleet side model should be the one you opt for this. This is because it is the same width as the cab whereas the sportside model isn’t.
Other features that this particular truck comes with include 16 inch chevy rims that have five spokes. Plus suspension that has been lowered by two inches which makes it look even more menacing. But be wary when looking to purchase one of these trucks as there are some people trying to make quick buck by passing a stock S10 off as one of these. They have actually got the suspension lowered on theirs and if the conversion hasn’t been carried out properly could result in the warranty on the vehicle becoming void.
