My 2 wheel drive automatic S-10 has a 4.3 liter and I have put a full size frame mounted Reese receiver hitch on it to tow a small boat trailer that I had. I now am considering getting a car trailer to tow my sons 90 Eagle Talon to his races. It would be a full trailer not just for the front wheels as his car is AWD and cannot be towed on two wheels. This would be maybe 5 or 6 times a summer. The total weight of the trailor and car should be around 2800 pounds.
Does anyone know if the S-10 frame and drive train can handle pulling that much weight? Since it is only for a limited number of times a year, I do not want to get a bigger truck. I also do not want to rip up my truck trying to tow more than it can realistically handle. My S-10 has been very good to me, and I need it to last quite a few more years before it gets retired.
Thanks
Greg
