    Re: S10

    i would get a non-ex cab, base 4.3 4x4 if i can find one...

    i would hardly ever use 4wd but it can be a great thing to have and helps resale

    why do the Zr2's get such ****ty gas mileage? I know it has suspension upgrade but is it full time 4wd or something?

      Don't quote me on this, but I believe all ZR2s are automatics, and then you have the huge, coarse tread tires. The last thing I can think of is gearing, but I don't remember for sure if the gearing is lower or not. It's been a while since I looked into buying one.

        I have a 94 S10 Blazer with the 4.3. Auto, 4x4, ~180k miles.. Driving around town I got around 16-18 mpg. On the highway I would get 18-22 mpg. Pretty decent power for the size of the vehicle. It could probably tow that trailer as long as you never had to go up a hill.

          Not all ZR2s are auto, there are some manuals just the pickups though. The 31" tires play a huge part in crappy gas mileage but the gearing I believe isn't that bad at 3.73 ratio. And they are not full time 4wd either. As for towing you would want to get a tranny cooler and just be smart about what you pull.

            i wouldn't get a zr2 just because they are more expensive.

              I don't know if you will find one reliable enough to suit your needs from those years, esp. 4x4. It may require some $$$ to get everything in shape for daily use if you intend to use it that way. However, best of luck to you ; )
