I was kind of interested in a blazer, but my parents just bought my sister a blazer.
Chris - You and your fords... shit on you
wannabe - Nice. I may have to do some looking.
PSiedTSi - S10's are nice, but kinda small. Kinda lookin' for something a lil bigger.
Jim - You paying for it?

we towed a car from the cities with a s10 with a 4.3L at 70mph no problem.
colorados are extremely overated as far as what the are suppossed to get for gas mileage.
our old 98 sanoma zr2 got just over 18 back and forth to sioux falls with the cruise set on 80. get one with a 5-speed that isnt the off road addition and it would probably be decent

I pull shit all the time with my S10. Pulled my car down to Sioux Falls and back, pulled a guys car home from Salt Lake City, UT, pulled a car to Iowa, etc. Only had problems in the mountains...slowed down to like 50 on some of the big climbs;) Works great. I get 19-20 mpg pretty much all the time.
If you are going fullsize though, GM is going to get the best mileage.

I dont do much towing... so an S10 would be fine
I actually do like them, but I like the fullsize trucks to. But S10's will get much much better gas millage than a fullsize.
Thanks, I'll keep the S10's in mind
BTW - do s10's get expensive to fix?
-
s10's are cheap to fix...find a zr-5 or a zr2

An S10 isn't that small really. 91nbtsi drives one and he's not short... Just get one with 4 doors or an extended cab...
Our V8 Durango gets 18mpg on the highway because its full-time 4wd, so I know if you got a Durango/Dakota that was switchable 2wd/4wd, it'd easily get in the 20s...
