Overview:
Chevrolet's venerable compact pickup, the S-10 receives several
notable enhancements for 2002.
For
2002, all non-fleet models add a tachometer and air conditioning
to the comprehensive list of standard equipment that also includes
driver and passenger air bags, anti-lock brakes, PASSlock theft-deterrent
system, and Daytime Running Lamps.
Extended
Cab models will offer a standard third door for easier loading and
access to the cargo area on the driver’s side.
The
Crew Cab, which first bowed in 2001, is now available with an optional
leather trimmed interior.
Sandalwood

Chevrolet
is discontinuing production of 2WD regular cab, long box S-10s.
There
are two engine and three transmission choices for the the S-10.
The 2.2-liter Vortec L4 and 4.3-liter Vortec V6 offer a standard
5-speed manual transmission, varying by engine selection, or optional
4-speed automatic.

Two
specialty versions of the S-10 are also offered. The ZR-2 package

46mm Bilstein high-pressure gas shocks and 31-inch x 10.5R15-inch

The S-10 retains is signature exterior for 2002. A special ZR2 decal
now comes on all equipped 4x4 Extended Cab models.

Delayed interior lighting keeps the dome lamp lit for 15 seconds
or until the ignition is turned on after closing the front doors.
The

up to 20 minutes after the ignition is turned off or a door is open,
thanks to the retained accessory power feature.

Engine choices for Chevrolet S-10 include a 2.2-liter, 120 horsepower/140
ft-lbs four cylinder and a 190 horsepower/250 ft-lbs. 4.3-liter
