There is a demand for small trucks in America. Unfortunately the EPA stepped in and made it impossible for manufacturers to build them for a profit any longer.
The ford maverick is the smallest ICE truck we’ll ever get. I’m hoping that when evs become a lot more feasible we’ll see a resurgence in small ev trucks. The Alpha Wolf truck is exactly what I want
@@miguelle9724 it actually was the EPA, they made the fuel economy requirements a lot tighter on vehicles of certain wheel base lengths among other things that killed small trucks.There's a few videos about it floating around on RUclips. It's really sad.
Way better than these now massive Tacomas and Colorados. Cheaper, more efficient, and way easier in everyday life, especially in finding parking spots can sometimes be a challenge in bigger trucks. Bring them back!
@@Windows98RTwo things can be true at once. The new “small trucks” are the size of normal trucks from twenty years ago. Normal trucks now have gotten to be so big they’re almost comical.
I absolutely love the small American trucks! They are light, and depending on the engine they make quite a bit of power while getting good gas mileage! And the fact if you wanted you could still swap a v8 into them is amazing. These first gens are just like there full size predecessors just.. well.. smaller!
I have a 2002 S-10 with the 2.2 L 4 cylinder that I use to tow my 26 foot pontoon boat. It’s amazing the power you’re able to get out of these little guys.
@@mildbillhiccup844 even out of the 4 cylinder, me personally I never really cared for the 4 cylinder but they still get the work done. I’ve had a first gen short bed s10 with the smaller 2.3L v6 and a second gmc short bed with the 4 cylinder (it also doesn’t help that the 4 cylinder had a misfire 😂)
@@bendagaI had one of these years ago with a 327/350 turbo trans in it. Loved that truck but some 90 year old woman pulled out in front of me on my way to work one morning and I served into the ditch to avoid her and totaled the truck. At least I was able to sell the drivetrain for more than I had put in the truck
My grandpa bought a 71 c10 and he gave it to my dad before he passed away and now that I turn 18 he decided to give me the truck and the awesome part is that the truck only has 92k miles and looks new
The Maverick is kinda close to that. Sure it’s not a real truck like the S10/15 one here. But it does all these trucks do and was intended to be affordable while still meeting all the government requirements. Heck of a feat.
You don't even need a modern engine, Thunderhead289 got a 70s Maverick with a 302 to 40+mpg by putting a lawn mower carb on it, and while it wasn't setting speed records it could still get up to highway speeds
Get up to and maintain are 2 totally different things, im not trying to poop on that, but that engine which i have a lot of respect for, has got to be running incredibly lean to do that. I don't have hope for that engine holding up,
I used to work at a phosphate mine and we ran the 4 wheel drive version of those trucks 24 hours 7 days a week they only shut off for lunch breaks. They were amazingly tough.
I used to have a boss who had an extreme hatred for anything that wasn’t single cab. Everytime he bought a new truck he would have to special order from the factory and wait a couple months.
I owned a 1996 S-10 V6 2wheel drive standard and I finally had to put it to rest with 575,890 kilometers on it . The best fucking truck I ever owned and I used it as a truck with work and pleasure, they should bring back the old school pickup trucks 💯👍👍
Don't even think that anymore. Watched a big, jacked up Silverado back out of a driveway moaning and groaning like you were bumping across a cow pasture. Even my 1999 Silverado, all rusty and crusty sounded better than that.
@sedrosken831 Unfortunately that is not house money any more. That is cheap ground to build a house. Where I live a super cheap house is 250k. A nice house runs 350k. The price skyrockets if there is more than an acre of ground with it.
I had nearly the exact truck - mine was a 4 speed, 4 banger 1987. All plastic interior. No power steering or brakes. I beat that thing like it owed me money. Never left me stranded. Thanks for posting.
It's not a lack of demand it's the chicken tax. Look it up. As well as emissions from trucks have to be relitive to size, according to EPA, so instead of actually reducing emissions of they just make the trucks larger to fit there ridiculous boundaries
I’ve only owned coupes, but I moved to a new city and sold my cars except my Celica, and I’ve been super obsessed with single cab pickups from the 80s 90s, I think I will end up buying something like this soon!
Definitely not a lack of demand. Yes there are people who want luxury trucks but most people who need a truck just need to haul stuff. If they didn't have to spend so much on the truck they would have a second vehicle. All thanks to the EPA
Dad had an 88 one of those. The interior door handles sticking out gave me a chuckle. The return spring brakes off the handle letting them stick out like that. Its very common. Also happened on out 88 GMC Safari van. I can also say that truck's heater switch is broken. My Dad went through a few of those before just adding a toggle switch on the dash. Not my first choice, but I would still drive one of those.
I adore the 1st generation s10, always wanted one. I have a 2nd gen and i love it, single cab, short bed, 2.2l, 5 speed manual. Very well built little truck.
When my grandpa pass I bought it in the family and had fun with mine but I was to young and it didn't run anymore so I sold it, exactly like that except tan gmc with a campershell as well as a headache rack my grandpa put on. I'm sad I sold that truck but I sold it to a guy that was super excited about it and was going to drag convert it. I never heard the success of that plan
Another reason why you don’t see that specific model of truck anymore is some were set up for Drag Racing as they will take a big engine but another reason why they disappeared is because that model truck is popular for a Chassis Swap with older GM Trucks like 1947 I think through 1955 there’s a bolt on kit to swap the 47-55 Body onto the more modern Chassis that has an independent front suspension with disc brakes will take anything from a SBC to an LS and then the rear end can be swapped out for something like a Ford 9”
my Dad had a 1992 chevrolet S10 extended cab 4x4 4.3 V6 lots memories in that truck also when I got my license it was one of the 1st trucks i got to drive
That looks nice. Just be sure to check the distributor cap close. My brother had one years ago and it had a crack in that area. When rain hit, the truck could die in the road because of the water.
What a beautiful sonoma I need that in my life. Also, it is not a lack of demand it is because of government regulations On fuel mileage is SO high that manufacturers can't meet those regulations. So they'd no longer build compact trucks
I have a ‘98 Tacoma with a 5-speed and power nothing (crank windows, etc.). I absolutely love that little truck. I would be very happy to eventually get an equivalent, but that almost certainly means I will replace it with another antique. It has been a great farm and woods truck and I use it for 25 mile runs to town as well. I cannot justify the absurd prices and unnecessary complication of new trucks, especially at the cost of reliability and repairability.
These tended to rust badly but stay solid in the northeast. The body would rust long before the frame or suspension components but technically driveable
We have a single cab long bed '02 Ranger. It is about as basic as they come aside from A/C; it has rubber floors, rollie pollie windows, and no options. It does have the Vulcan V6 though which is an interesting choice.
I had a 92 GMCs15. 4.3L. I Found an old 1970 John Deere 3020 with a Garrett T4 on it in a salvage yard. Slapped that turbo in there after rebuilding said turbo. I found a set of used cast GM turbo exhaust manifolds on eBay. A cheap intercooler and duct work from a chopped up set of long tube 302 headers. All and all that truck would scoot on the cheap. Think I only put $3500 into building a little monster including the cost of the truck and sold it for $4500 a year later.
Simplicity went away when people got lazy. I myself much rather have hand crank windows no ac and a sliding rear window in a S10. I had a '93 S10 4.3 stick 4wd and it was a basic interior Tahoe package ac delete truck. Best truck I ever owned.
I definitely like smaller single cabs, but having limited adjustability for the back of the seat is my main issue with them. I have back issues and need the seat to lay back farther than they do, I’m only 5’11 but I get very uncomfortable if I have to move the seat forward so I can lean it back enough to not hurt my back.
actually it's a combination of automaker lobbyists and things like the chicken tax that makes it just shy of illegal to produce a truck that small, plus the big quadruple over sized pickup trucks and suvs that are all the same vehicle under at least 3 different badges produced with the same parts by the same company is more profitable than making anything else
I have an s-10. The only thing that I have an issue with is the door handles. They keep breaking because of the mechanism gm used during the time. Very weak plastic clips to hold the wire together. I’ve just given up and run a string to the back glass that pulls the interior handle so I can get in
I know exactly who you can sell this too and hed restore it better than anyone. I drive by an old mans house everyday. He doesnt actually have a house, he lives in a massive garage. Where he restores vehicles all day long. Not married, so hes got the money and time. If we gave him this truck, hed make it brand new. He doesnt add new stuff, he restores what once was.
If they made one of these with the 2.0 NA 200 hp 4 cylinder and sold them cheap I bet they would fly off the shelves. I’d love a small efficient pick up truck
Government meddling is to blame as usual. Those little trucks are so handy as work vehicles.... Simple, efficient ,reliable, durable and you can actually reach in to get tools and stuff without a dang step ladder.
I would love to have a truck that could haul around some stuff but still fit in normal parking spots. But no everything needs to be a max width extended cab that can seat 6 and is almost too long even when you pull through. Thanks EPA.
I like when people think hand crank windows are easier to maintain. Personally working on both, the electric ones are way easier. Not to mention the single speed electric motor has been around 200 years or so. Not really new tech.
Lack of demand? Plenty of people want this. The truck has become one of the most popular vehicles, and so has getting good mileage, a mini truck would be awesome. The Ford maverick is the smallest truck I know of, and it is still fairly big compared to an S10. The ranger and Colorado and other mid size trucks should have easily been re-introduced as compact trucks, not mid size trucks.
It’ll always amaze me how people choose fords over these, these have the same stuff as fords with actual decent reliably, and gm products have always looked better too
Bought a S10 single cab for 500$ and had a brand new 6 speed Hyundai tiburan gt limited and I always drove it more. Two years later I sold it for 600. Wish I never got rid of it

It should be easy given how efficient modern engines are
You can now custom order short bed two door full size trucks from most manufacturers. Like Chevy and ford.
@@jaymanjayman594 Still pretty big.
I don't know where my truck is from, but it's a single cab, short bed, half-ton and v8 swapped Frankenstein's monster of a vehicle
I never really was a big truck fan, but I’m starting to appreciate these older pickups a lot more, anything like pre 2000’s.

Man your a lucky guy, I really like those old trucks!
I have a 2002 S-10 with over 260,000 miles and while the AZ sun has destroyed the paint and interior plastic she still runs and drives fine
i wish they made them smaller and more usable now a days.
Late 70s they made couriers. Luvs and Toyota hi lux pickups ..then they got big and by early 2k it was extended cabs or 4doors
I think an actually "light" duty truck like this, with a more modern engine &/transmission sounds like a great recipe for a 40ish mpg pickup
Problems I see are modern cars are not end user friendly. These old trucks were meant to be fixed in the field and road.
The Maverick is kinda close to that. Sure it’s not a real truck like the S10/15 one here. But it does all these trucks do and was intended to be affordable while still meeting all the government requirements. Heck of a feat.

Do they really make the TRX in single cab? All the ones I have seen are quad cab short beds.
Trouble is, who the hell is spending what should be house money on a single cab truck?

If I had the moneys worth of rubber I’ve turned into smoke on trucks like these. 😂😂
Twin turbo LS, awd conversion and it will be one bad S-15 and it has better options because it's a GMC cant go wrong
So sad! Just installed brang new turbo and now in scrap wasted money! Someone buy to save this sleeper supra killer 💯👍🏼😍
Funny that you mention it, because all of the US' trucks ended up in México thanks to the big demand over here
I would love to have a truck that could haul around some stuff but still fit in normal parking spots. But no everything needs to be a max width extended cab that can seat 6 and is almost too long even when you pull through. Thanks EPA.
Come to Australia, there are alot of single cab Ute's (trucks for you guys) as well as dual cabs
I like when people think hand crank windows are easier to maintain. Personally working on both, the electric ones are way easier. Not to mention the single speed electric motor has been around 200 years or so. Not really new tech.
Lack of demand? Plenty of people want this. The truck has become one of the most popular vehicles, and so has getting good mileage, a mini truck would be awesome.

The ranger and Colorado and other mid size trucks should have easily been re-introduced as compact trucks, not mid size trucks.
If theres a demand for them here in Aus there is in America, but even we dont sell small utes anymore :/
Damn, I'm looking for an old S10/S15 square body right now but they are either to trashed or out of my budget. That one looks damn good.
I like this little trucks so much that I have one, not a GMC though, I have a 98 dakota that's a reg cab short bed
I'd love a simple ute. Bring back the El Camino.
Reliable and Chevy are like oil and water... which is also an issue Chevy tends to have. They just can't keep them separated.
Good looking gem
It’ll always amaze me how people choose fords over these, these have the same stuff as fords with actual decent reliably, and gm products have always looked better too
I wouldn't mind having one of those trucks.
