* Find the sticker/label: The most reliable way is to check the sticker located inside the driver's side doorjamb. This sticker will list the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and payload capacity.
* Consult the owner's manual: The owner's manual for that specific year and model will also state the payload capacity.
* Use online resources: Websites like Edmunds or Kelley Blue Book might have specifications for different years, but always verify with the vehicle's documentation.
Without knowing the specific year and model of the Chevy S-10, it's impossible to give you a precise payload figure.
