I'm not shocked that Chevy has kept this truck in production. It has a beefy frame (different than the normal S10 did...) and different front suspension. The vortec 4.3 is basicly a 350 minus 2 cylinders, so power is there.
In factory form, they are pretty decent for heavy trail use, and with a few mods they are awsome off-road. They are even great for towing....for a vehicle of it's size.
Nice
