Towing with a 2001 Chev S-10 w/v6
Looking for a lightweight trailer that I can tow with my S-10 extended cab. Manual says truck is capable of towing 5800 lbs. Friends of mine say it will not. I have found a few trailers with dry weigh...

If you stay in Florida and keep the weight down, you will probably be fine. We owned a 1996 Chevy Astro Minivan with the 4.3l Vortec and it towed our 5,000 lb Hybrid TT just fine, power wise. The front end was sloppy on it and made towing more stressful. We switched to towing with our 2000 Nissan Xterra, which has a smaller engine (3.3l V6) and it towed well too.
Most of our towing was flat, along the East Coast, with a few trips to Central, PA with small mountains, but no really steep grades. That's about as mountainous as I'd want to tow with either of our Tow Vehicles, I would think the s10 would tow fine on flat ground.
