Can I Flat tow The 2025 Chevy Trax?
Despite that, the Chevy Trax is one of the easiest flat-towable vehicles we've set up. If that's all you need to hear and you're ready to get started, click here to browse all the supplies you need and see our suggestions!
Make sure you're on flat ground, and your Trax is positioned evenly behind the towing vehicle With the vehicle running, shift your transmission into N (neutral). Afterward, set the parking brake Connect your vehicle to the tow bar hardware While your vehicle is connected release your parking brake Shut off your vehicle Pro Tip: You may hear a continuous chime sound at this point. This is completely normal Open the hood of your Trax and disconnect the negative battery terminal (the black post on your battery) Cover your negative post with a non-conductive material such as duct tape
To remove your Trax safely, follow the steps in reverse. Remove the non-conductive material, reattach the negative terminal to your battery, set your parking brake, and disconnect your vehicle. It's as simple as that!

Can both the fwd and the awd models be flat towed or just one

@RobR it doesn't look like the owner's manual calls out a difference between FWD and AWD models so it should be fine for both. However, I recommend looking in your manual to verify this information.

Couldn’t you use a battery disconnect switch vs removing the negative wire at the battery?

Yes, you could. You would use the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System - Gas Only item # RM-766.

You're going to want to disconnect the negative post. It accomplishes the same thing as far as isolating the battery and stopping any electrical current.

I'm an owner of a 2025 Chevy Trax and I have a question re flat towing it. I installed a battery disconnect switch on the NEGATIVE side of my battery, per the instructions in my Owners Manual. Does anyone here who disconnects their battery on the Negative side of their Trax still have working door locks [with their remote] and headlights after that cable is disconnected? I do. Thinking that maybe my new switch was defective, I then totally removed the disconnect switch from the battery's Negative terminal and I still have working headlights and door locks. I'd appreciate anyone's feedback who has had a similar experience or can provide an explanation. Thanks, Steve
