* Cab style: Regular cab trucks generally have a higher payload capacity than extended cabs.

* Drivetrain: 4x4 trucks usually have a lower payload capacity than 2x4 trucks.
To find the exact payload capacity for *your* 1991 S10:
1. Check the sticker: Look for a sticker on the driver's side doorjamb (or possibly the glovebox). This sticker will list the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and the payload capacity. The payload capacity is the difference between the GVWR and the truck's curb weight (the weight of the truck itself without cargo or passengers).
2. Consult the owner's manual: Your owner's manual should specify the payload capacity for your specific model.
Without knowing the specific configuration of your 1991 S10, it's impossible to give a precise answer. However, a reasonable *estimate* for a regular cab, 2WD, 1991 S10 would be in the 1000-1500 pound range, but this is just a broad guess and could be significantly higher or lower depending on the factors listed above. Always defer to the sticker or owner's manual for the correct information.
