Overview
The actual numbers are more or less a secret, but it is an indication of the importance of the midsize truck segment that Chevrolet spent as much or more to market its new S-Series pickups as Chrysler spent to launch its entire LH car line.The new S-Series pickups are attractive and comfortable, with interiors that are more car-like-driver and passenger-friendly-than their predecessors. While they still exhibit some of the choppiness that all midsize pickups seem bound to display, they ride better and perform well. They are worthy competition for Ford's successful Ranger series and for Dodge's Dakotas. The S-Series Extended Cab Fleetside Pickup we tested carried a sticker price of $17,329. This tells us the days of a well-equipped midsize truck for $12,000 are long gone. Admittedly, though, our Apple Red/Silver Metallic Extended Cab Fleetside was extremely well-equipped and is price-competitive with the Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota. Load capacity, interior room and optional equipment become the determining factors.
