Expert Reply:
Per the owner's manual for your 2015 Mirage, it cannot be flat-towed.
You can, however use a tow dolly like the RoadMaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes, part # RM-2050-1. Using a tow dolly does eliminate the need for base plates on your mirage and also the need for a tow bar.
You will need a brake controller like part # 90885. This is one of our most popular because it is easy to install and operate.
Since the tow dolly comes with a 4-way connector you will need to replace it with a 7-way connector like part # H20042. The best way to install this is to use a junction box like part # 38656. There is a blue wire that is loose on the tow dolly and it will attach to the brake output pin on the trailer connector.
