If one were to assume that 1997 Merc Ranger was a base model, it weighed in at about 3000lbs. From the same website I get about 3000lbs for the same year and style S10. What Ben has clocks in just under 2900lbs. Be glad you have a light chassis to start with, my ZR2 is around 3800lbs. I still want to swap a diesel though. For the offroad torque, not the mileage
