Well for the 90 200, there are _two_ pages on towing.
There isn't that much difference with the S4.

My Chevy S-10 has a 2000 lb limit.  The 200 manual states a 2000 lb limit
for a braked trailer.

In Europe, where there used to be (still is?) a significant lack of pickups,
guess what gets used for towing.  The family sedan of whatever type.
There are some that would say the 200s at least make great tow cars...
