• Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2020 Chevy Suburban Premier
  The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM-523195-5 you referenced only fits the 2020 Chevrolet Suburban's with the Z71 package. Since yours is the Premier model you'll want the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM-523179-5 instead. You'll have to cut some holes in the fascia to get the mounting point for the arms to stick through. I have linked the installation instructions below so you can see this step along with an installation video. Here are some other...

• Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2019 GMC Sierra 2500
  Blue Ox doesn't currently make a tow bar wiring kit for a 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 but Roadmaster does with their Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This Diode wiring kit will transfer your motorhome's brake and turn signals through the tail lights of your Sierra to keep you street legal. Since you have combined wiring in your Sierra you will need to install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400 to prevent the brake signal from overriding the turn...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2019 GMC Sierra Denali 2500 Behind Motorhome
  If your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 is a 4x4 model with a two speed transfer case that has a N and a 4WD Lo setting, it can indeed be flat towed. 2WD vehicles will need to be trailer towed. If your truck is indeed capable of being flat towed, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter. For a base plate kit, I'd recommend the Blue Ox # BLU22QR, the # BX1739 fits the 2020+ models, and wouldn't work for your...

  There are a number of parts needed for you to flat tow a 2015-2018 Chevy Silverado 2500, starting with compatible base plates. The correct fit will depend on if you have tow hooks or not.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali Behind a Motor Home
  To keep a maintenance charge on the battery I recommend using a harness such as # RM-146-7 with the tow bar wiring you will be using so that you can install a charge line kit, # RM-156-25, from the front of the truck to its battery. The charge line kit uses the 12 volt power pin on your motorhome's 7-way to provide a maintenance charge to the battery on your 2015 GMC Yukon XL. It won't charge a dead battery but it will keep the truck's battery from dying while you're towing it. We do...

• Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 4 Wheel Drive 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  If your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the 2 wheel drive model then the vehicle cannot be towed with all four wheels down as this would likely cause damage to the vehicle's driveline components. The only way to flat tow a 2 wheel drive model is with a tow dolly. Unfortunately, we do not have a tow dolly that is compatible with your truck at this time. If you have a 4 wheel drive model then the vehicle can be flat towed with all four wheels down. In order to do this you will need a base...

• Is it Possible to Flat-Tow a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Behind a Motorhome?
  You can tow your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 behind your motorhome if it is four-wheel drive, so long as you have a 2-speed transfer case with a neutral setting. While it is also possible to do so with a two-wheel drive version, it will take an extra step. For a 2WD with a 4.3L V6, as well as a 2WD with a 5.3L V8, you will need to have a lube pump kit installed, or for a 6.2L V8, you will have to have a drive shaft disconnect.
