Vehicle Description
2000 Chevrolet S10 Xtreme LS Pickup
When we think of GM sport trucks, several legendary models come to
mind, including the Chevrolet C1500 454 SS, the GMC Syclone and
Typhoon, the or the GMT-800-era Silverado SS. An oft-forgotten
example was the Chevrolet S-10 Xtreme. Produced from 1999 to 2004,
the S-10 Xtreme was Chevrolet's answer to the era's growing demand
for sport trucks at an entry-level price. That price point, which
was just over $15,000, represented about a 15 percent price bump
over a base model S-10. But the Xtreme got a lot of upgrades that
Chevrolet figured would attract younger buyers. Those upgrades
included an aggressive body kit, model-specific 16-inch wheels, and
ZQ8 suspension, which notably lowered the ride height.
Interestingly, Chevy offered the Xtreme on both the regular cab and
extended cab S-10 models, and with both fleetside or flareside bed
options. Interestingly, the Chevrolet S-10 Xtreme has largely
fallen into obscurity, and remaining examples do not seem to
command any notable price premiums over standard S-10 units.
However, we suspect that some amount of nostalgia, perhaps from our
former high school parking lot hoons, will eventually give these
trucks something of a bump in prestige and prices. Who knows, maybe
the S-10 Xtreme will one day be considered alongside the 454 SS as
the cool retro sport truck to have. -Thx To GMAuthority.com
Lets get extreme with this latest consignment to roll through the
doors of our Hallowed Halls. An 85,254 title verified mileage 2000
Chevrolet S-10 Xtreme LS pickup with the optional flareside bed.
This one has been owned by our consignor for the last 7 years and
during that time has always been garagekept. It provides some
eye-catching good looks with its miles deep paint, lowered factory
suspension and snappy wheels. Let's get our groove on and keep the
mini-truck craze alive and kicking right here in our South
mallway.
Exterior
Our Victory Red example retains its shine and shows nicely without
any rust or dents. The flaws in the finish are unremarkable save
for a few chips on the neoprene lower body skirts and the deep end
of the pool monochromatic paint is the star of the show and is
onlybroken up by the black window surround and chrome Xtreme
badging on the lower fenders and tail gate. Rectangular headlights
and wedge shaped corner lights reside within the Victory Red
grille. Just below is a body matching steel bumper and fog light
equipped factory ground effect kit lower valance. Breaking up the
square cab sides and fenders is the curvalicious flareside bed that
holds within a black plastic drop in bedliner and is equipped with
black step pads both in front and behind the wheel flares.
Encircling the body down low is the slightlyflared out body kit
that comes right from Chevrolet adding a touch of muscle to this
mini hauler. The tail view shows us tall wrap-around tail lights,
the smooth tailgate and a snappy Victory Red roll pan below.
16-inch multi spoke aluminum wheels are wrapped with 245/50R16
raised Hankook rubber from the 32nd week of 2015.
Interior
Behind the lightly tinted glass are charcoal gray molded plastic
panels with black actuators and cranks as well as a nice red vinyl
upper inserts. Below all of this are storage compartments and the
factory speakers. The original GM dash continues with more use of
the charcoal gray molded plastic accenting for the dash front
surrounds and faux wood surrounds for the vents, mixed with black
molded inserts for the instrument cluster, factory AM/FM/Cassette
stereo and climate control dials. More charcoal gray vinyl is
making up the bolsters and red vinyl inserts of the body hugging
buckets with their headrests and a fold down armrest is between the
seats. Charcoal gray carpeting is flooding the floors and presents
with some light soiling and color fade. The long armed black
shifter resides on the carpeted hump along with a dual cupholder
equipped consolette. Above a large gray fuzzy broadcloth headliner
covers the interior ceiling.
Drivetrain
A factory 2.2 Liter 4 cylinder sits in an original unrestored
engine bay. This has EFI and bolted to the back of this mill is a
T5 5-speed manual transmission for those of us who like rowing the
oars. 10 bolt with 3.08 gearing is the axle designation and all
under the hood is looking very nice with a lightly patined
finish.
Undercarriage
A light peppering of surface rust coats most of the untreated steel
on this undercarriage, although it remains structurally sound. The
frame and floor pans are rust free, however we note heavy invasive
rust taking over the inner rocker on the passenger's side. Power
disc brakes are in front, and power drums on the back. Suspension
is independent coil spring up front and leaf spring on back.
Drive-Ability
This truck and it's 2.2 liters fired right up and driving was a
pleasure. All comfy on the ergonomic front for the interior, smooth
acceleration and nice cornering. Fully functional, fully capable
and fully enjoyable...2 thumbs up!
A well cared for and nicely presented example of a S10 with a
economical 2.2 liter engine. Some factoryinstalled lowered
suspension, nifty lower body cladding, and a wonderful
monochromatic finish will have you smiling as you go down the road,
of course all the while hauling your cargo.
