Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2025 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss
Question:
Hello, I just purchased a 2025 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss. My intent is to be able to tow it behind our RV. If is makes a difference, my RV is a 2021 Coachman Freelander by Forest River. The specs indicate the towing capacity is 5000 lbs. I am looking for recommendation for a service shop to install the tow bar and whatever else is required. Can you recommend a shop near the Miami Lakes, FL area? zip: 33014. What parts and brand of towing equipment would you think is best for my specific vehicle? Thanks

Hi Tom; to flat tow your 2025 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental brake system. For a complete setup I recommend the following:
-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM28GR
-Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522
-Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645
-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267
-Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System # RM-766
-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251
More than likely you will also need a high-low adapter to keep your setup level. I went ahead and attached an article below which explains how to measure and choose the correct adapter.
For installers near 33014 we have Dalto Shop at 7541 Nw 54th St Miami, FL 33166 and RS Auto Specialties at 10772 SW 190 St Miami, FL 33157. Both have successfully installed flat tow setups so they have experience with it. I also attached a link to our local installers tool below for your reference.
