Chevy S10 and Ultra Lite Trailers.
I have a 2003 Chevy S10 with a 6cyl engine and automatic transmission. Will it be capable of towing an Ultra Lite trailer with a dry weight of 3327 lbs or even 4200 lbs dry weight?

There is a huge difference between an '85 S-10 and a '03. I have an '86...I know. The largest engine you could get in '85 was a 2.8L V-6. A 2003 could have a 4.3L Vortec...HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Need to make sure you know what your talking about. The 4.3 will do it no problem. If he has the 4 cy, you will be correct.- Long pulls will really take the stuffing out of this 15 year old mini-truck.
