My S10 has that little 2.2 l very turkey motor handles a blowed much better than my Tacoma and this far I have 169 MI the only thing I've done is change the oil spark plugs and transmission fluid.
These two factors can greatly change your monthly payment ... Actual terms vary by lender. The S-10 was a great truck (I once owned an '89). I hope that this one lasts as long as the '89.
