2003 Chevrolet S-10 Xtreme - 545 Miles 1 Owner

Classic Car Addict is proud to present this one owner, 545 actual mileage 2003 Chevrolet Xtreme S10 for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. When we think of GM sport trucks, several legendary models come to mind, including the Chevrolet C1500 454 SS, the GMC Syclone and Typhoon, the or the GMT-800-era Silverado SS. An oft-forgotten example was the Chevrolet S-10 Xtreme. Let's take a closer look at the Bow Tie's bygone compact pickup truck.
Produced from 1999 to 2004, the S-10 Xtreme was Chevrolet's answer to the era's growing demand for sport trucks at an entry-level price. The Xtreme got a lot of upgrades that Chevrolet figured would attract younger buyers. Those upgrades included an aggressive body kit, model-specific 16-inch wheels, and ZQ8 suspension, which notably lowered the ride height. Interestingly, Chevy offered the Xtreme on both the regular cab and extended cab S-10 models, and with both fleetside and flareside bed options.
The cabin features bolstered front seats trimmed in Graphite cloth with a dark gray dashboard and door panels. Amenities include air conditioning, a CD stereo, a center armrest, and cruise control. A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a tachometer and a 100-mph speedometer along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, and fuel level (gas gauge is not functioning). The digital odometer indicates 543 miles.
This three-door Xtreme is finished in Indigo Blue Metallic (U9792) with Competition Yellow decals. Additional features include a fleetside bed, aerodynamic lower body cladding, wheel arch flares, fog lights, and Xtreme badging. The paint is in excellent condition! The 16-inch alloy wheels are in brand new condition with no curb rash with low profile performance tires.
The powertrain of the Chevrolet S-10 Xtreme was shared with the standard S-10. This is a 4.3L V6 paired to a four-speed automatic transmission. The ZQ8 suspension didn't just lower this beauty 1.5 inches over the standard truck, back in 2003, this was a genuine high performance suspension kit with thicker sway bars on front and rear and the Bilstein shocks with additional frame bracing. It also includes the quicker 12:1 steering box. The Chevy S-10 Xtreme also has a limited slip differential, making it quite agile in the corners, especially considering its compact size.
Interestingly, the Chevy S-10 Xtreme's have largely fallen into obscurity, and many remaining examples do not seem to command any respect. We suspect that some amount of nostalgia, perhaps from our former high school parking lot hoons, will eventually give these trucks something of a bump in prestige and prices. Who knows, maybe the S-10 Xtreme will one day be considered alongside the 454 SS as the cool retro sport truck to have. Call Classic Car Addict today at 480-256-1459.
