• Will Roadmaster Base Plate 3154-3 Fit a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Unfortunately the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit # 3154-3 is not compatible with a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado. I am not sure what, if any, modification can be done to make it fit but I advise against doing so as Roadmaster wouldn't have had a chance to test it for safety. The correct MX base plate kit for your 2006 Silverado 1500 will be one of the following (depending on your sub-model): 1500 LD - Z71 - # 199-6 (Front suspension must use torsion bar) 1500 LD - excluding Z71 - # 199-11 (Front...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2010 Chevy Tahoe with ReadyBrute Tow Bar
  Since we do not offer ReadyBrute tow bars, we don't have the clevises you're referring to that normally come with the tow bars, but I can recommend base plates and the other parts you'll need to complete your flat towing setup. The good news is that from what I was able to find out, the ReadyBrute is compatible with all of the major manufacturer's base plates- so you won't need any additional adapters outside of the clevises that are available from ReadyBrute.

• Base Plates, Tow Bar, Wiring, Safety Cables, and Braking System to Flat Tow a 2010 Chevy Silverado
  To pull your 2010 Chevy Silverado around the farm, it would be best to install base plates on the truck and use a tow bar. Usually, you would need a lot of other accessories to tow in this manner, but if you are keeping it on the farm and off the roads, you can use the minimum. Depending on whether the truck is a 1500, 2500, or 3500 model, there are different base plates available. Since you will be towing a truck around potentially rough terrain, I recommend the more heavy duty MX style...

• Can a 2011 GMC Yukon 4x4 with Single Speed Transfer Case Be Modified to Flat Tow?
  You are correct that the 2011 GMC Yukon 4x4 with single speed transfer case cannot be flat towed as is. I've attached a photo of the pages from the owners manual to assist. It is logical to think because the 2 speed transfer case models can be flat towed without issue that dropping the drive shaft as you stated would allow you to safely tow your single speed vehicle. Without proper testing, I can't confirm this would be the case, but it is very logical. If you decide to tow it, I recommend...

• Base Plate Kit and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  With the Roadmaster Sterling, part # RM-576, I recommend the MX kit, part # 3154-3, for a base plate kit that fits your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. The safety cables of the Sterling won't fit with these but you can attach the cables somewhere else on the truck. The wiring kit to power the truck's lights that I suggest is the diode kit, part # RM-15267. It provides a 6-way connector at the front of the truck and a cord to connect the RV's 7-way to that 6-way. For a supplemental braking...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ
  Hopefully my dog doesn't eat it. In addition to the tow bar, supplemental braking, and wiring you also need a base plate kit and likely a high-low adapter to tow your 2009 Chevy Silverado. Since you're towing a full size truck you want a tow bar with a higher capacity so I recommend the Roadmaster Blackhawk, part # RM-422. It's rated up to 10,000 pounds. For the safety cables used the coiled # RM-643. The MX Base Plate Kit, part # 3154-3, pairs well with the BlackHawk. The MX kit...
