Yes, I read the original poster's question's and his requests, 
and I can find an early 90's S-10 with a 4.3 vortec for around $2000-2500. 
I can't find an early 90's nissan or toyota for less than $3000, and that's if 
you're lucky. 
  
 
  
And I wasn't trying to start a horse power war, I was just pointing out that 
when it comes to towing, the more horses, the better. 
And weight is also a deciding factor, the heavier the tow vehicle, the less 
like it is to be pushed around by the vehicle being towed. 
  
  
 
  
And I'm betting that Ford isn't a ranger!  
  
I myself have always been an AMC fan, so I understand your liking of your CJ. 
I always wanted an Eagle 4x4 Wagon  
  
And I must kindly disagree with you and end this argument before the mods 
start getting into it too. 
Thank you for not attacking me personally, and I apologize for seeming like a 
royal jerk.
