At LAX, the de facto gateway to Southern California, we picked up a Victory Red S-10 Xtreme. First impressions do count and with the low slung Xtreme you can't help but notice how aggressive it looks. Throw in the 360-degree ground effects, encompassing the front and rear fascia, wheel opening flares and rocker panels and you have a compact truck with an attitude and the |

looks to turn heads even in car crazy Southern California. Put your foot on the pedal and the Xtreme's looks are backed up by solid engine performance.
The only other current production pickup trucks to possibly compare with the Xtreme are the Ford F-150 Lightning and Dodge Dakota R/T. Both the Lightning and R/T have strong, sports truck-like looks. The Dakota competes almost directly with the S-10 in the compact / mid-size truck segment and is powered by a 5.9-liter V8 engine pumping out 250hp and 345 ft-lb. of torque while the Lightning is in a league of its own with its supercharged V8 engine and larger size. The Dakota R/T prices itself at a slight premium to the S-10 but for the Lightning you will have to have at least one hit movie under your belt to afford its $10,000 premium over the Xtreme - and that's without an extended cab.
