Is STILL Here?
I've towed a lot of vehicles with a 4x4 2-door Tahoe (Vortec, though). I think they were rated for around 5,000 lbs.? It's been awhile. Longer trucks are more stable though, mostly if the load is tongue-heavy.
I had good luck on bigger trailers with even load distributing. The rest was up to the brakes. Favorite part of the two-door was you still had the Suburban gas tank and all the other half ton goodies with a lot less truck. So you could drive for awhile between fill-ups, maneuvered easier backing up and around parking lots...Even with old GM's sad turn radius.
If you need the extra packing room, Suburban is king. If you travel light, 2 door rear seats fold flat, just zip the headrests out.
Two door Blazer/Tahoe 400's came with only 5.7's or 6.5's. '92-'94 Blazers were full size, '95+ was renamed as the Tahoe Sport or Yukon GT - handing down the Blazer/Jimmy name to the S10-chassis trucks.

Here is an older thread of a guy towing with a 2 door. Seems like the towing limit was somewhere like 4,500-5,000 lbs on those 2 doors SUVs, and I think some even came with the 4.3?
