Has anyone ever had one? Like a Chevy s10, or a GMC sonoma? How are they? I want to buy 1, im saving up for 1 rite now, so i wanna get all my pros/cons of them!

Never had a midsize one, but I did have a 2001 red Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 extended cab with a grey leather interior with only 21,000 miles on it. But then me and my twin bro had to sell it and we each got our own cars. That truck was awesome!!

I did always want a chevy s10 or a midsize truck, for some reason I've always liked them.

I'd say go for it. I'm not aware of any problems with them and I think they are good little trucks. Someone else will chime in if they know...

Good Luck!

thanks! lol, im not sure if i wanna buy a 2wd step side 1, or a 4x4. Step side id prob lower it n pimp it out lol but.. 4x4 id put big tires on it and wutnot so still deciding

I'd go 4x4. Buts thats just me. I'm not a big fan of the lowrider thing. But do whatever you like best. After all it is YOUR car.

The Colorado is very nice. I loved mine.

From what i've herd about the Colorado's is the new 5cyl engine is VERY problematic

i dont really like the wheel well fenders on it, i think chevy and gmc should of just kept there S-10 and Sonoma, now those were trucks

Good little trucks,just get a v6 not a 4cyl,the 4.3 is a tourqey little motor.Chico.

I went for the Dakota because it was the biggest mid-size truck available.

Get a 4x4 and at least a V6.

I've had my Dakota for 3 years (60k miles). It's never been in the shop. I do regular oil changes and have no problems. I went for the manual because it's the Jeep X15 tranny from the Wrangler and not an actual Dodge tranny.

I have the 98 1/2 ton Chevy extended cab and at the same time I had an 88 S-10 with the four banger.

I prefer the full size over the compact pick up.

Remember the S-10/15 were "compacts" not midsize.

If you want something to play with look at the S-10 extreme. It's V-6 powered and has a little lower stance to start with over the standard S-10/15.

Stay away from the fours they are anemic as all get out.

If you look at the Dakotas go for the V8 the fuel savings of the V6 isn't worth the loss of HP.

yah 4 cyl sucks and v8s are gas gusilers lol, i wanna get a v6, low k on it, but i cant find anywhere who has the s10 extreme.
Arnt the dakotas gas gusilers? my buddys dad had 1 n he said it just pigged out all the time

That's true. I get the best of both worlds: very slow and terrible mileage.

I had a '01 S-10 SS and I loved it. Had the 4.3 V-6, that had quite a bit of power to start with, and there are several mods out there for it. I did the CAI and TB spacer, and I lowererd mine another 2" (already lowered 2" from the factory). The truck got about 20 mpg. on the hwy. and I still had plenty of power to pull my 18" ski boat.

My father inlaw has the V6 in his Dakota and regrets not getting the V8. Not for the speed but the raw power for getting the job done. Plus he is on his third tranny with that truck.

GM owns all vehicals lol, Chevy for their trucks, Pontiac for their grand prix's!!

Automatic?

Yep

He has the first year crewcab model.

Stick with the S-10 with the v6. There's a lot where I live that sounds very nice with the double side exhaust and clear lights.

I liked everything about the Dakota except the Dodge transmission. I did some research and the manual transmission is the Jeep X15, so I went with the stick. I instantly removed the weakest part of the truck. I wasn't going to buy a Dodge if it had a Dodge transmission.

yah theres a few drivin around here, i like the 4x4 ones but i like the 2wd ones aswell. I like most is the s10 xtremes, those r nice!

Buy and old fullsize and lift it!



At least that's what I've had a lot of fun with!
