  • Can Flat Tow Equipment Be Transferred Between Different Tow Vehicles?
    It depends on what new vehicle you plan on getting in place of your 2016 GMC Terrain, however typically the only thing that you can transfer among different towed vehicles is the tow bar. So for your Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420, as long as you have a Blue Ox baseplate like the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1689 on your new vehicle you can use this tow bar with no issues. As far as everything else like the braking system # SM99251, tow bar wiring # RM-152-98146-7, charge line...

  • Can a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox AWD Be Flat Towed
    Hey Roger, I checked the owner's manual and it looks like you will be fine to flat tow your AWD Equinox. They only harp on AWD vehicles being towed with only two wheels on the ground, but it was actually recommended to tow the AWD models with all four wheels on the ground. So with that being said if you're interested in a complete setup you're going to need: A base plate kit, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523160-5, A wiring kit, the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire...

  • Fuse Bypasses Needed To Flat Tow A 2015 Buick Enclave
    Hey Steven, To bypass the 15 amp ECM and Onstar fuses you can use the # RM76514 and for the 50 amp BATT1 fuse you can use the # RM-76517. These both come with switches to activate/deactivate the fuses. You'll likely need to splice in some extra wires to run them up to the dash for easier access.

  • Will Flat Tow Parts from 2015 Chevy Equinox Fit Another Chevy Equinox With AWD
    Hi Beverley; as long as there is no damage to the base plate kit or anything else you can carry it and the other components over to your new 2015 Equinox. If you aren't sure, I would go ahead and replace it with the # RM-523160-5. The only exception is if you have the brush guard on the new one. The base plate kits won't fit if you have the brush guard. Since your owner's manual says you can flat tow the AWD model you're good to go. One other thing worth mentioning is there may be a difference...

    Yes, your 2017 Chevrolet Equinox FWD can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. Do understand that you will need to run your Equinox for 5 minutes every time you stop for gas to properly lubricate your transmission and before towing.

    To flat tow your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox the fuse you pull will depend on the engine you have. For the 3.6L V6 you will need to pull fuse number 32 in the instrument panel fuse box. You can also use the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass # RM76511 so that you only need to flip a switch. For the 2.4L 4 cylinder engine you will leave the number 32 fuse in and instead pull a fuse from the under hood fuse box. You will need to pull the ABS module fuse which due to manufacturing variances may...

Since you have a 4 cylinder model of the 2012 Equinox, I would make sure that you've left the DLIS Fuse 32 in place and that you've removed fuse 16 (not fuse 15) under the hood when using the Roadmaster # RM-76517; according to one of the GM technical service bulletins, only the 2010 Equinox should have fuse 15 removed when installing the RM-76517.
