 . Any of the half tons will be more than capable, or even alot of the 1/4 tons will do it as well. The RANGERS were never really up to the task of towing much, but the S-10's(not the current COLORADO's), DAKOTA's, and even the heavier TACOMAS can do it.

I agree with Ferm and all of the above. My Dakota has the 318 and she tows awesome. As Ferm said perfectly, stopping can be a problem if the trailer has no brakes(like mine), but as long as you are careful & alert you wont have problems.

Ferm, I did the same thing... I towed the 248 that I sold to Skool's which had a bracket and twin 200's on it with a JEEP LIBERTY!!! No problem. The thing is, I only had to drive a couple blocks to the ramp. That said, I would never have towed on any major road or highway. Stopping would certainly be an issue.
So, I also agree with all that has been said, and especially Willy's comments about the importance of brakes and wheel base if you plan to tow further than I do... By the way, I now tow with an 06 Durango 4.7L magnum V8. I towed from FL to MD and could barely tell I had anything behind me...
