I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for a 2002 Chevy S-10 and it specifies "If your vehicle is equipped with the Xtreme Sport Appearance Package your vehicle was neither intended nor designed to tow a trailer."

You mentioned Sportside body, and for a '02 Chevy S-10 with a Sportside body - but not the Xtreme package - you can tow with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75085. This hitch will also work on a ZR2 model, just not the Xtreme package.
