CHEVROLET S-10/GMC SONOMA
With an all-new compact GM truck less than a year away, the Chevy S-10 and GMC Sonoma roll into 2003 unchanged except for some cosmetic updates: flame decals for Chevy Xtreme editions and a ZR5 appearance package for crew cabs. These trucks offer a standard rear-hinged third door on all extended-cab models. The crew cabs, introduced last year, provide four front-hinged doors, a short bed (55.2 inches), and livable space for rear passengers. Standard items: four-wheel anti-lock brakes, battery run-down protection, and a passenger airbag with a shut-off switch. The base engine is a 120-hp, 2.2-liter four. GM’s torquey old 4.3-liter V-6, rated from 180 to 190 hp, is the upgrade option. Payloads range from 1000 to 1400 pounds, transmission choices include a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic, and part-time four-wheel drive is available on most models.
