No, the tow hooks come off no matter what brand of base plate you use. This is extremely common amongst all trucks with flat towing set ups. That's a solid anchor point and attaching a base plate there hides it extremely well. You're going to want to stay away from the AT4X if you goal is to flat tow a 2023 GMC Canyon. None of the base plates work with that model. They make these trucks right next to our shop and the front ends on them look amazing but the base plates aren't compatible.... view full answer...

To confirm which weight distribution hitch will work to tow your trailer with a GVWR of 4995lbs you will need to measure its tongue weight, as the tongue weight rating is usually with the trailer unloaded and will not be accurate.
The easiest way to get an accurate tongue weight measurement is with a tongue weight scale like the # e99044, but there are other methods that are outlined in the included help article.
Since your trailers GVWR is 4995lbs and tongue weight is typically 10-15%... view full answer...
Hello Steve, thanks for reaching out. The battery must be disconnected when flat towing a 2024 GMC Canyon behind a motorhome because GMC say so in the Canyon owners manual. Generally speaking, when the owners manual calls for the battery to be disconnected it is because certain features need to be disabled so they don't draw power from the vehicles battery and drain it while towing. If you need to know exactly which features that is then you would need to contact your local dealer as I... view full answer...

Hi Tom; are you able to mount the # DM86VR G-Force controller further back or higher up where it won't interfere with the parking brake? If that won't work, you can mount it on the B-pillar (structural post between front and rear door) beside the driver seat. Just make sure you keep the proper orientation outlined in the instructions.
Where do you plan to travel next once you get your Canyon setup? view full answer...
Hi Robert,
You’re absolutely right to be thinking carefully about this, because getting the braking system and power setup correct is what keeps everything working safely when you’re towing. I was able to confirm from your truck’s owner’s manual that the negative battery cable does need to be disconnected for flat towing, so you’re on the right track there.
The good news is that the Air Force One system part # SM99243 will still work properly with the battery disconnected on your truck.... view full answer...

For installing a brake controller in your 2017 GMC Canyon there is no plug present under the dash, but the needed wires are already run. You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash. It's up above the brake pedal.
If you check out the attached video link you can see the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 installed in a similar GMC Canyon and you can see exactly where the wiring is and the entire install process. view full answer...
Hey Ray, I was able to find the instructions in the owner's manual on how to setup your GMC Canyon for flat towing. Basically what you're going to want to do is:
1. Position the vehicle being towed behind the tow vehicle, facing forward and on a level surface.
2. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow vehicle.
3. Apply the parking brake and start the engine.
4. Shift the transfer case to N (Neutral).
5. With the engine running, release the parking brake and verify that... view full answer...
Hey Jim, that’s a great question and I completely understand wanting this to be a clean, no-hassle bolt-on.
The good news is the Trailer Valet system part # TV68FR uses a universal mounting bracket design, so you don’t need to worry about matching up specific bolt hole spacing on those factory plates. As long as your Flagstaff already has those stabilizer mounting plates on the frame, you should be able to bolt the system right up without any drilling or modification.
The main thing you’ll... view full answer...
Assuming that when you tested the resistance of the brakes you were testing the two wires on each magnet and getting 2.0 and 2.8 ohms the magnets on your trailer are not working correctly and will need to be replaced.
For 7" brakes you should get 3.8-4.0 ohms, and for 10-12" brakes you should have 3.0-3.8 ohms.
If the brake shoes themselves are good you can replace just the magnet using 7" # AKBRKR-M7, 10" # AKBRKR-M10, or 12" # AKBRKR-M12.
If the shoes are needing replacement as well... view full answer...
The triangle on the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR remote controller will fill in as you start to brake which is an indication of how much braking force the Patriot is applying to the brake pedal on your 2021 GMC Canyon. When I reached out to my contact at Blue Ox they said they've never heard of a gap on that triangle and the only time the controller should be beeping is if there is an error - in which case you would see an error message on the display screen.
The gap may be the graphic starting... view full answer...
Hey Brett, congrats on the new truck. I can definitely help with this.
The Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4370 is a great choice for pulling your new 2024 GMC Canyon.

Hey William, it looks like you're asking about the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This is a proportional brake controller, so basically how it works is the brake controller will activate the trailer brakes with the same intensity and at the same time as the tow vehicle.
This brake controller also automatically adjusts the trailer's braking based off of the deceleration of the tow vehicle. view full answer...
Hey Dawna, thanks for reaching out!
The Radius Corner 14x14 Ceiling Garnish # VA0445-25 is for a square 14x14 hole. The radius part of the name is referring to the corners and how they are rounded off instead of being at a 90-degree angle.
