Re: how good is the s10

the s10 4.3L is a very reliable engine. i personally have a 1998 4.3l auto with 150k miles on it and all i have done to it is routine maintenance. mantenance is the key to any vehicle. whatever you buy dont believe what the owners says about the maintenance until they can provide reciepts. without reciepts assume it was abused. C.Y.A. (cover your ass) good luck in whatever you decide to go with.

Re: how good is the s10

Toyota trucks run a long time,the only problem with the trucks is that the bodies fall off.The S10 on the other hand the bodies last a little longer,but the engine compared to a Toyota engine???I would go with the import.But as stated above,depends on the maintence of the truck.

Re: how good is the s10

the bodies fall off???? is that why many people lift the toyota truck??? to prevent it???? would the insurence be lower on toyota truck vs the s10 pick up?? by the way I would like my truck with a little bit lift to it but not to high the toyotas look lifted the s10 lifted is rare in my town but the s10 looks better lifted when the front bumper is removed ...anyway it seems I would better off with a early to mid 90s truck vs the late 80s toyota truck.... unless someone can prove me otherwise???

Re: how good is the s10

Of course newer will be better than older.

Remove the bumper on an S10? Huh?

How old are you?

Re: how good is the s10

have you seen thoses baja racer cars??? the s 10 looks like one without the front bumper (lifted up that is) ... or at least it looked like the front bumper was removed when I seen one it looked cool in my opinion vs the one with the bumper again just my opinion by the way im 19

Re: how good is the s10

An s10 will be better than any mid 80s toyota and a lot more powerful if you get the 4.3L V6.

Why don't you ask your insurance rep bro?

How do we know what the rates are in your part of the world.

Too much asking questions about stuff you can handle yourself.
