Year to Year Changes
1995 Chevrolet S-10:
A driver-side airbag arrived for 1995, as Chevrolet replaced the previous S10 designation with S-Series nomenclature. Daytime running lights became standard during the model year. Backlighting was added to switches for power windows, locks, and mirrors.
1996 Chevrolet S-10:
A rear side door became optional on extended cabs during '96, and a Sportside model with flared-fender cargo bed joined the Fleetside trucks. The optional door is on the driver's side and cannot be opened unless the front door is opened. All S-Series models, including 4-cylinder trucks, now had 4-wheel antilock braking, operating in both 2WD and 4WD. Both V6 engines were revised, joining GM's Vortec family.
1997 Chevrolet S-10:
An optional floor shifter for the automatic transmission was the main change for 1997.
1998 Chevrolet S-10:
Chevy reverted back to S-10 nomenclature and gave its compact pickup new exterior and interior styling. The new interior added a passenger-side airbag with an on/off switch. The base engine is also revised to lower noise levels (and it gains two horsepower).
1999 Chevrolet S-10:
Chevy traded the sporty SS package for the even-sportier Xtreme. Available only on 2WD models, it featured a lowered suspension, body-color aero trim pieces, and 16-inch alloy wheels.
2000 Chevrolet S-10:
Extended-cab versions got a new base-trim model, and 4x4s gained standard bucket seats.
2001 Chevrolet S-10:
S-10 added a 4-door crew cab and dropped the 4-wheel-drive regular cab model for 2001. The new crew cab came only in 4WD with a 4.6-foot bed. Regular cab 2001 models were only available in 2WD with a 6- or 7.3-foot cargo bed.
2002 Chevrolet S-10:
Air conditioning and a tachometer were newly standard, and the long cargo bed, which had been dropped at the beginning of the model year, was reinstated. A 6-disc in-dash CD changer was a new option, and Crew Cabs were now available with heated front seats.
2003 Chevrolet S-10:
Little change was evident for '03 as replacement Colorado waited in the wings.
2004 Chevrolet S-10:
The S-10 continues only as a 4WD 4-dr Crew Cab for '04.
