Autowlok
The Autowlok system features stainless steel, telescopic tow arms that adjust independently for easy connection. When the towing vehicle pulls on the arms, they automatically center and lock in place. The arms also act as shock absorbers, reducing wear and tear on your tow bar.
Quick Disconnects
Standard on most RoadMaster models, quick disconnects make it a snap to attach your tow bar. Their unique design lets you connect the tow bar to the bracket quickly and easily all by yourself and disconnect it the same way. These convenient brackets also make it simple to mount any number of RoadMaster accessories, from basic safety cables to the Guardian rock shield.

- Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 GMC Yukon XL
- There are several different base plates available depending on the model 2006 GMC Yukon XL you have. For a 1500 or Denali, use XL Style Base Plates, # 199-5. For a 2500, use # 3115-1.
From the research I did, the Yukon has a curb weight of up to 5,770 pounds. With gear loaded in it, it could easily exceed 6,000 pounds. For this reason, I recommend going with a 10,000 pound capacity tow bar like the Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain, # RM-422. I have included a link to the installation detail
