You can certainly install the Tekonsha Voyager, # 39510, on your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500. If your truck has a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector, all you will need to do is hardwire the brake controller wiring with the truck wiring located under the dash, below the steering column, and off to the left a little. The truck wiring will most likely be held together with white tape or a tag that explains each wires function. You will need this tag to match the FUNCTIONS (not colors) with the brake controller wiring. I have included a link to the installation details for the Voyager below for reference.

On the brake controller wiring, white is the ground, black is power, blue is brake controller output, and red is for the stop light switch.

If your truck does not have a factory 7-Way trailer connector, you will also need to add Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector, # PK11916. I have included a video below showing the installation of this connector on a similar vehicle.
