Question:

I am going to flat tow my 2015 GMC 2500HD Denali truck 4WD and need a tow bar, lights and adaptors for the truck. I think it should be a 10,000lb rated system. I am towing it with a 45inch Prevost Bus that already has a air force one braking system on it. What tow bar system, base plates or adaptors do you recommend? Do you have a plug and play wiring system for the truck?

Expert Reply:

For a base plate kit confirmed to fit your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 you would want the part # RM-3180-2 as it is a confirmed fit.

For a 10k rated tow bar you would want the Roadmaster Blackhawk # RM-422. For safety cables you would want the part # BX88197.

Since you already have supplemental braking all you need is tow bar lighting. For that you would want the # RM-155 which wouldn't require you to mess with splicing any taillight wiring.

I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
