Expert Reply:
To brake a towed vehicle like your S10 you'd need to use a supplemental braking kit as a brake controller for trailer brakes will not activate vehicle brakes. For that we have the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR which installs in the truck floor boards and presses on the brakes of the truck.
