Tab Covers

Demco Pull Ear Cover

When you're not towing, the included tab covers provide a clean look for your car by covering the protruding brackets. They also keep dirt and debris out of the base plate tabs, and even act as a shin guard to help cusion the blow if you walk into the base plate tabs. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached.


Tow Bar Adapters

If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. Demco makes adapters for use with other manufacturer's tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Behind Motorhome
    For a larger truck your 2009 GMC Sierra the Demco Exali-Bar tow bar # DM9511013 would be the tow bar that would work best. It has a 10,500 lb capacity and has longer arms which helps with turning range. For a base plate kit the part # DM9518200 is a confirmed fit for your 1500 and would work well. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control...

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch for 2003 Workhorse W-Series to Flat Tow 2014 Chevy Silverado Double Cab
    While there is not a hitch that is a fit for a 2003 Workhorse W-Series Chassis you may still be able to flat tow your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1400 Double Cab as yours may be under the 5,000 lb curb weight, though you should verify this before attempting to tow it. If you do find you can tow your '14 Silverado there are a number of things you are going to need, which I'll list for you: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518200 - Tow Bar: Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow...

  • Parts Needed to Use Demco Tow Bar and Air Force One Braking System on 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500
    In order to use your Air Force One # SM99243 with your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 you will need to add the Demco SBS Second Vehicle Kit for Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99209. This includes everything you need to set up your vehicle for towing. For a base plate, you will need the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # DM9518200. This base plate kit is compatible with all Demco tow bars. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014 GMC Sierra SLT 1500 Z71 Behind 2008 Winnebago Vectra Motorhome
    To flat tow your 2014 GMC Sierra SLT 1500 Z71 behind your Winnebago Vectra you will need a number of components including a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting/wiring solution and base plates and a braking system for the towed truck. You may also need a high/low hitch adapter and a wiring extension to make it easier to electrically connect the MH and toad. The linked article will give you excellent background on these components. Let's start with base plates for the truck. I recommend the...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 Behind and RV
    For a truck like your 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 I would flat tow it rather than dolly tow if because trucks can be heavy and harder to fit on a tow dolly than a sedan. Plus the overall cost for a decent tow dolly is as much as or more than a flat towing set up. For the flat towing procedures look at section 10-90 of the vehicle owner's manual. To flat tow the truck you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Demco...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Chevy Tahoe
    According to page 4-47 in the online version of the owner's manual for a 2008 Chevy Tahoe you do not have to install a transmission pump to flat tow the vehicle. I do recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. The base plate kit that I recommend going with is the Demco Classic # DM9518200...

  • Can a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 be Flat Towed/Parts Needed to Flat Tow
    I did some checking on your vehicle and your 2015 Chevy Silverado with 5.3 V8 4x4 is flat-towable as-is without speed restrictions. You will need to check the owners manual of your truck for the full procedures on this. For a base plate kit the part # DM9518200 is a confirmed fit for your truck and would work well with the Demco Excali-Bar III tow bar part # DM9511013. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing....

  • Which Demco Classic Base Plate Kit Fits 2012 GMC Sierra 3500
    Yes the Demco Classic Base Plate kit part # DM9518200 that you referenced fits the 1500 models but for a kit that fits the 3500 you'd want the part # DM9517321.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500
    A complete flat towing setup consists of base plates, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking and, when needed, a high/low adapter. You'll also want to consult the vehicle's owners' manual for any specific instructions to follow to get your vehicle prepared for flat towing. For base plates I recommend using the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # DM9518200, which will give you a durable base plate with a heavy duty powder coating at a nice price...

  • Parts to Flat Tow 2007 Chevy Tahoe and 2018 Ford F-250 with Crossover Parts
    Id be more than happy to help you out with the parts needed to flat tow both your 2007 Chevy Tahoe and your 2018 Ford F-250! I'll go ahead and list out the parts for each vehicle and I'll add a tag next to the parts that can be used for both. The Air Force One parts that will fit to your vehicles will cost more for both sets than some of the other braking systems will, but since you already have the one part installed on your Ventana and it's a really easy system to use once it's installed...

  • What Parts are Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Chevy Tahoe Behind a Motor Home
    The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if your 2007 Chevy Tahoe can be flat towed and if there are any specific requirements, restrictions, or recommendations. As long as your Tahoe isn't a hybrid model use base plate kit # DM9518200. I like the Demco kits beause there's nothing to remove when you're not towing and you can barely see them on the vehicle. For a compatible tow bar use the Dominator # DM9511008 which is rated for 7,500...

  • Parts to Tow a 2015 Smart Car and 2011 Chevy Tahoe Behind a Motorhome
    We can help with the parts you need to flat tow your 2015 Smart fourtwo. I'll list the parts I recommend starting with the Demco Commander II tow bar, part # DM9511012-BX. I like Demco's tow bars because of the built in rise or drop and the safety cables. This one in particular includes the adapters to connect to Blue Ox base plates because for your Smart car I recommend part # BX1987. The other parts I recommend are: Braking system part # BLU37TR Wiring kit part # RM-15267 For the braking...

  • Flat Towing Parts & Tow Dolly for 2019 Jeep Cherokee and 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
    While there are a couple flat towing parts that can be used for both your 2019 Jeep Cherokee and 2015 Chevy Silverado - the tow bar and supplemental braking system - the two vehicles do need their own separate base plate kits and wiring. If you want to tow both vehicles the most cost-effective way is going to be with a tow dolly, which we also carry. I'll give you the dolly as well as parts needed to flat tow both vehicles so you can make your decision. For a tow dolly the best option...

  • Fitment of Demco Classic Base Plate Kit for 2018 GMC Sierra 1500
    We have the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit, # DM9518200 confirmed to fit the 2015 GMC Sierra 1500. If this is the base plate kit you have installed it is not confirmed to fit the 2018 model year as GM had a generational change to the 1500 Series from 2015 to 2016. You will need the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit, # DM9519330 the 2018 model year GMC Sierra 1500.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Complete Flat Tow System for a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with Golf Cart in Bed
    For your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with electric golf cart in bed, I recommend starting with the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518200 and then adding the Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013. This will have the safety cables included. For your tow bar and vehicle wiring, I then recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766.

    For your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country 4x4, I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518200. I recommend installing these base plates using loctite threadlocker # LT37420. These base plates will work well with the Demco Excali-Bar III # DM9511013. This is a very nice tow bar that comes with the safety cables needed for connection. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which uses diodes to utilize...
