Do you have a question about this Tow Bar Base Plate?
  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    Supplemental braking is just one of the 5 key components needed to flat tow a vehicle. You will also need base plates, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, and lighting. Also, the tow vehicle has to weigh more than the 2005 Silverado and have the gross trailer weight capacity higher than the gross vehicle weight of the Silverado. For base plates you can use Demco # DM9517148. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Dominator, # DM9511008, which is rated for 7,500 pounds and also comes...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD

  • Flat Tow Items For 2004 GMC Sierra
    I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit, # DM9517148. With no external crossbar it means that only the base plate tabs are visible but with hidden reinforcement there is less of the bracket showing. Match these to the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar, # e94ZR that is rated at 10,500 lbs. The non-binding design allows you to easily release your vehicle, even on unlevel ground as the trigger release on each arm easily activates, even when under pressure. This comes with needed safety...

For that, the correct part for your 2006 Sierra 2500 is the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9517148.

  • Do Demco Base Plates Install In the Same Spots on the 2014 Silverado 1500 as the 2007 Silverado 1500
    It sounds like you're trying to find out if the installation of the new Demco base plates # DM9518200 is going to be a similar process as the installation of your old Demco base plates like the # DM9517148 that fit on a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500. The answer is going to be yes. Both of these base plates look fairly similar and the changes that have been made are going to be fairly minor to adjust for the changes in body styles. For this reason, the installation process is going to be the...
