What year was the first Chevrolet S Truck S10 made?

I know the Chevrolet S Truck S10 is discontinued, but I thought it would be a good used compact pickup truck to get for a good price. I wanted to know when it was first made to learn more about the truck and if it would fit my needs. When was the first Chevrolet S Truck S10 produced?

The
Chevrolet S Truck S10
can be an affordable option for a compact pickup truck! The first Chevrolet S Truck S10 dates back to 1982 and was eventually discontinued after 2003 in North America.
Currently, a used S10 can cost between $8,000 and $11,000 depending on the year, mileage, condition, and trim.
Before buying a used S10, you should consider a few more factors on top of the sale price, especially if saving money is your priority. The following factors will affect your overall ownership cost:
  • Repair and maintenance: This cost would depend on the availability of parts and how easy it is to source them.
  • Fuel type: The higher the fuel grade, the higher your bill for gas.
  • Fuel efficiency: The more efficient the truck is, the less you’ll have to fill up between each tank of gas—meaning you’ll save more money.
  • Known issues: If there are common issues that occur frequently, this will increase your repair bills.
You can also look into the
Chevrolet Colorado
, which debuted in 2004 to replace the S10. This may be a better investment if you want a similar pickup truck with more modern features, a longer remaining lifespan, and potentially lower repair costs.
