Chevrolet
expands its arsenal of hard-working compact pickups with the introduction
of the 2001 Chevy S-10 Crew Cab 4x4 Pickup, which is scheduled
for start of production in the fall of this year. With its combination
of versatility, ruggedness and personal comfort, the Chevy S-10
Crew Cab Pickup is ready to tackle virtually any real-life challenge
or adventure.
"The Chevy
S-10 Pickup in any configuration is about durability, functionality
and value," said Debra Kelly-Ennis, S-10 Pickup brand manager.
"With four full-size doors and seating for five, the new Chevy
S-10 Crew Cab pickup takes functionality to a new dimension. It
brings a new level of versatility to the Chevy S-10 family that
already boasts one of the most diverse product lines in the industry."
According
to Kelly-Ennis, the Chevy S-10 Crew Cab Pickup's combination of
ruggedness, utility and car-like comfort will strike a chord among
a variety of customers.

"The Chevy
S-10 Crew Cab Pickup complements and enables virtually any active
lifestyle," Kelly-Ennis said. "The sport utility customer now
has a place to stow dirty cargo without fear of soiling their
luxurious interior.
"S-10 owners
can now have sedan amenities and comforts, but in a more rugged
and versatile vehicle," she added. "Truck buyers will be drawn
to S-10 Crew Cab because it offers true five-passenger comfort
for their family and friends, in a vehicle that's very maneuverable
and fits easily into their garage."
Like all
four-wheel drive S-10 Pickup models, the new S-10 Crew Cab is
powered by the potent and proven Vortec 4300 V6 engine with 190
horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque.
The new Chevy
S-10 Crew Cab Pickup rides on Chevy's Z85 Increased Capacity Suspension,
which provides a firm but comfortable ride. The package includes
32mm twin tube shock absorbers, a 28mm front stabilizer bar and
rugged P235/70R15 on/off-road tires, with optional P235/75R15
as well.
A
standard, factory-installed cargo bedliner protects the 4-foot,
6-inch cargo bed from dents, dings and scratches often caused
by loose or sliding cargo. Sturdy cargo tie-down loops, two-tier
loading capability and a rear step bumper provide convenient and
secure cargo loading.
S-10 Crew
Cab Pickup offers the Insta-Trac four-wheel drive system as standard
equipment. In addition to its handy push-button actuation, Insta-Trac
includes a 4WD Low gear for more demanding conditions such as
climbing steep grades or driving through deep snow or mud.
Convenient
interior features help provide a comfortable, car-like driving
experience, with such items as an overhead console with temperature
and compass readouts and delayed interior lighting, which automatically
keeps the dome lamp on for 15 seconds or until the ignition is
turned on after the front doors are closed. The retained accessory
power feature allows the stereo, available power windows and other
power features to operate for up to 20 minutes after the ignition
has been turned off or until a door is opened.
"Whether
they're hard at work or hard at play, today's trucks are called
upon to perform a variety of roles," said Kelly-Ennis. "The Chevy
S-10 Crew Cab Pickup answers that call as only a Chevy can."
