Supplementary Braking System for Flat Towing a 1994 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup
Question:
required for flat towing?
asked by: Shawn K
Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Proportional Braking System # RM-9400 that you referenced is among the easiest-to-use supplementary braking systems available for flat-towing. This is one of the components required for legal and safe flat towing and it is shown in the linked video. Most states now require such systems be used for flat towing.
The other items required, base plates, safety cables, tow bar and wiring, are explained in the linked article.
If you wish to advise the specifics about your S-10 (2WD or 4WD) I will be glad to offer recommendations for each of the other components. A link to our page for base plates is included.
