If the 5800-pound tow rating requires a particular configuration (rear-end ratio, etc), and/or a factory towing option, and your S10 is "properly equipped" according to those specs, you should do just fine. A fully-loaded ready-to-camp TM will weigh in at about 4000 pounds, depending, of course, on TM model and how you pack.
