Castle,
You will most likely need a WD hitch for your S-10. The way to check is to measure the height of the front bumper and the rear bumper without the trailer attached to the vehicle. After measuring, put the trailer hitch on the ball, crank the hitch wheel up off the ground and measure at the same points again. If you have 1" or more differential (back of vehicle sags) then you need a WD hitch.

Is your S-10 equipped with the factory tow package? If not, you should consider a transmission fluid cooler, too. If the S-10 is factory equipped with a 2" hitch receiver and wired for a trailer connection, then it has the factory tow package, and larger cooling capacity for both the radiator and transmission.

Happy travels with your "new" TM.

Thanks for all your help. I bought a 2720SL that was a one owner in excellent condition for $10,200 but I have one queston (right now) do I need to use a weight distribution hitch to pull it with a 2002 Chev. S-10 Blazer.

Castle,

I have a 2720 and pull it with an S-10 Blazer as well. I was told initially that I didn't need a WDH, but when I went to pick up the trailer, John at Dinuba said that he would leave the decision up to me. They lowered the trailer down onto the Blazer hitch, and when I heard the springs groan, and saw the squat, I said OK I was convinced. It is one of the best decisions that I ever made....I have an Eaz-Lift 1000 and am so happy that I have it. The Blazer rides as though the trailer is not even attached (ride height wise).

So, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you do go with a WDH, you will he happier, and the ride will be much safer.

Welcome to the TM family, it is a great product.
