Expert Reply:

If you have a factory step bumper or your 1996 S-10 is the ZR2 model, the trailer hitch I recommend is part # 75051.

If you have a Sportside with a non-towing bumper, the hitch I recommend is part # 75085.

These are Class lll hitches and they have 2-inch receiver openings.

If you want o let me know what you intend to use the trailer hitch for I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
