Expert Answers about Chevrolet S-10 Pickup

• Trailer Brake Controller Installation on 2000 Chevy S-10
• Your 2000 Chevy S-10 is not prewired for a brake controller, but that's not a huge deal. The hardwire installation is actually pretty simple. To begin with, you'll need a functional 4 pin trailer connector. If you don't have one already, you can easily install one using part # 118425 which installs inline at the connection between the vehicle's taillight wiring harness and taillight assemblies. For a brake controller, I'm not a huge fan of the Voyager brake controller. Don't get me wrong,...

• Base Plate Kit Recommendation for Flat Towing a 2001 Chevy S-10 4 Wheel Drive
• We do carry base plates for the 4 wheel drive models of the 2001 Chevy S-10 as long as they aren't the ZR2 or Xtreme models. For that you would want the part # 165-2. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2003 Chevy S-10 ZR2 Behind an RV
• I spoke with my contact over at Blue Ox and he said that # BX1616 base plates are the ones that you can use for your 2003 Chevy S-10 ZR2 and you should be good to go. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Alpha, # BX7380. This tow bar is rated for 6,500 pounds and comes with safety cables. For lighting I recommend going with a magnetic kit # RM-2120 because it is low cost, easy to set up, and bypasses the vehicle wiring. You may also need a high/low adapter to keep the tow bar level....

• Installing Truck Bed Roof Rack On 2002 Chevy S-10 For Transporting A Kayak
• It sounds like you are wanting to install a single crossbar on the bed of your 2002 Chevy S-10 to go with your already installed crossbar. There are not any single crossbars that you can add so you would need to install a complete truck bed rack such as Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Steel - 800 lbs # EM07706. Or you could go with a more affordable setup like Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Side Mount - Steel - 250 lbs # EM07708. This mounts on one side of the truck bed...

• Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Chevy S-10
• There is a ladder rack available that has been confirmed to fit your 2004 Chevy S-10, but the part # Y01136-Y00410 that you referenced is not a fit so I would not recommend it for you. Instead, you would want the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Matte Black Item # TH27000XTB as it has been confirmed to fit your truck. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

• Placement and Number of Safety Chain Mounts Needed on Trailer
• The # 3375471001 Safety Chain Mounts would typically be welded to the trailer frame or tongue, the exact location would depend on the design of the trailer. You'll want to use two safety chain mounts. The mount is designed to hold a 3/8th's inch chain, so you'll need to make sure that the link on the chain has an opening size of at least 3/8 of an inch.

• How Can I Tow a 2007 Toyota Prius Behind my RV
• The only way your 2007 Toyota Prius can be towed is by using a RoadMaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes, part # RM-2050-1. Using the # RM-2000-1 you will not have to mess with installing a base plate kit on your Prius or have tow bars on your RV. Another added benefit is that the # RM-2050-1 comes with electric brakes, and self steers. You will need a brake controller if you do not have one already, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller - Proportional, part # 90885. It...

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2002 Chevy S-10 Extreme with Roll Pan Bumper
• The Curt Hitch part # 13920 has been confirmed to fit your 2002 Chevy S-10 Extreme with a roll pan bumper.

• Recommended Towing Mirrors For 1999 Chevy S-10
• We have towing mirrors that are confirmed to fit your 1999 Chevrolet S-10 mirrors, but they are not custom. I recommend the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair # KS3990. These mirrors attach to the housing of your factory truck mirrors using a ratcheting system with heavy duty rubber straps. Sliding clips grab the front edge and the adjustable straps do the rest. They fit snug to reduce mirror vibration and are easily adjusted or removed using the quick-release...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Chevy S-10 Behind an RV
• Curt Tow Bar # C19745 isn't vehicle specific so you can use it on your 2000 Chevy S-10. It comes with universal bumper brackets that will need to mount to a flat, metal section of the vehicle bumper which does require modifying/reinforcing the bumper/vehicle. This tow bar is fine for moving vehicles short distances but as a regular use tow bar it is not a good solution. If you will be towing the S-10 long distances behind an RV then I recommend a custom flat towing set up. For that you...

• Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2003 Chevy S-10
• For your truck we have mirrors that will work, but at this time we do not have any custom fit towing mirrors. I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your vehicle. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure 7-3/4inches tall by 5-1/8 inches wide. I have attached a link to a product review...

• Yakima Slimshady Awning Truck Bed Mount
• We do have ways to connect your awning to your truck but brackets aren't your best options. I would suggest getting the Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Crossbars # Y01160-58. Your SlimShady # Y56VR should have came with clamps # 8880737 which will clamp to the HD bars on your bed. This will give you the location you're wanting! The HD Bars can be used from truck to truck and doesn't take much time or effort at all to get it installed! Check out my installation video to see how it works.

• Quick Link Recommendations for a Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Short Safety Cables
• The base plate kit part # 161-1 that you referenced does only include 2 of the short safety cables and two of the quick links. The other two you saw most likely came with a set of long safety cables that are sold separately. To order additional ones you would want part # RM-910022 that is sold individually.

• Which Roadmaster Steering Stabilizers Fit a 1992 Pace Arrow with an Oshkosh Chassis
• There are several different Oshkosh chassis options available. To determine which steering stabilizer will fit, you will need to determine which chassis type you have. This information may be in the owners manual of your Pace Arrow, or you can contact Pace and provide the VIN number and they should be able to tell you. For a torsion suspension chassis, you will need # RM-RBK6-RSSA. For a K-Line, M-Line, or Z-line chassis, you will need # RM-RBK8-RSSA. With these kits, the brackets are...
