What it is

This is Chevrolet’s 1984 S10 Pickup 2WD, a small pickup in the Small Pickup Trucks 2WD class. It uses a 2.8-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, a four-speed automatic transmission, and two-wheel drive.

The defining EPA figure is 19 MPG combined. That combines the truck’s 17 MPG city rating and 24 MPG highway rating.

The numbers

City driving is rated at 17 MPG. Highway driving is rated at 24 MPG. The combined rating is 19 MPG, giving one figure for mixed driving rather than either road type alone.

These figures describe gasoline use for this specific engine, transmission, and drive layout.

What it costs to run

EPA lists annual fuel cost at $3,550. The truck’s tailpipe CO2 figure is 467.74 grams per mile.

Your actual bill will depend on how much you drive and how closely your trips match the city and highway ratings.

How it compares

Within Chevrolet’s lineup, this is a small two-wheel-drive pickup rather than a car or a larger truck. Its 17 MPG city and 24 MPG highway ratings show a clear difference between stop-and-go and open-road use.

Who it suits

This truck suits a buyer who wants a small pickup with a gasoline six-cylinder engine, automatic shifting, and two-wheel drive.

Its highway rating is higher than its city rating, so drivers doing more open-road miles may use its stronger side of the EPA range more often.

Trade-offs

The 2.8-liter six-cylinder and automatic transmission provide the listed powertrain layout, but the truck remains a 19 MPG combined vehicle. Two-wheel drive keeps the configuration specific to that drivetrain rather than four-wheel drive.

Fuel use is the main running-cost consideration: EPA lists $3,550 per year and 467.74 grams of CO2 per mile.

Verdict

The 1984 S10 Pickup 2WD is a straightforward small pickup for buyers who value its body style and simple two-wheel-drive setup.

Its numbers point to a truck that costs $3,550 a year in EPA fuel estimates, with noticeably better mileage on the highway than in the city. Choose it when those pickup and drivetrain choices fit your driving; look elsewhere if lower gasoline use is your priority.
