No matter what kind of load you need to haul, the Vortec engines in Chevy S-10 models provide the dependable power you need. Most S-10 trucks offer a choice of a Vortec 2200 four-cylinder engine or a Vortec 4300 V6 engine. The Vortec 2200 four-cylinder engine provides 120 horsepwer at 5000 rpm and 140 pounds-per-foot of torque at 3600 rpm, while the Vortec 4300 V6 engine provides 190 horsepower at 4400 rpm and 250 pounds-per-foot of torque at 2800 rpm. S-10 performance is enhanced by variable-ratio power steering, and is easy to maintain, as well, considering that engine coolant change intervals are up to five years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
