Chevrolet Pickup, S-10
The second-generation trucks appeared in 1994. All of the special models (the Syclone, Typhoon, and Sonoma GT) were gone, but the changes to the truck brought it in line with arch-rival Ford Ranger. The Iron Duke and 2.8 L 60° V6 engines were dropped, leaving just the 4.3 L Vortec and a new 2.2 L engine, itself a derivative of the old Cavalier OHV. This design generation was the first one to introduce airbags as safety features. Ironically, the fist model year of this design generation was also the last one to have non-airbagged models. Likewise models from other companies who started a design generation on this model year such as the Dodge Ram Van also had the last non-airbagged models that year.
