About the 1994 Chevrolet S10
The Chevrolet S-10 is a compact truck that was produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1982 to 2004 for U.S. consumers. The S-10 stood as a compact alternative to the full-size C/K pickups, offering owners better fuel efficiency and a more manageable size. The S-10 offered a vast array of configurations and options. However, in the last year of production, the S-10 was reduced to a single trim level – the four-wheel drive Crew Cab LS.
The S-10 came with two engine choices. Lesser trims were often paired with the 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine with multiport fuel injection. This engine produced 120 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 140 pound-feet of torque at 3600 rpm. The 4.3-liter Vortec V6 was the more popular and powerful option, with 190 horsepower at 4400 rpm and 250 pound feet of torque and 2800 rpm. Customers had to choose between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Depending on the configuration, standard towing capacity stood between 2000 pounds and 5200 pounds. Maximum payload capacity ranged from 1000 pounds to nearly 1500 pounds. Fuel economy also depended on the configuration – EPA estimates range from 22 miles per gallon in city driving and 28 miles per gallon on the highway with the 4-cylinder and 5-speed manual to 14 miles per gallon and 18 miles per gallon respectively with the four-wheel drive, 5-speed manual and Vortec V6.
