Expert Reply:

Curt hitch # C13132 is a confirmed fit for your 1987 Chevy S-10 with a factory step bumper and it will not require you to drill any holes; the hitch simply bolts on. There will be no issues as far as the spare tire is concerned, it will be able to stay mounted underneath the truck.

The recommended wiring to add a 4-flat connector to your '87 S-10 is # HM41115.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
