Question:

Greetings, Are there any other options besides the stay and play brake system for my Sonic? Also, is there a light bar that will work with my Sonic? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

For a permanent install braking system for your 2016 Chevy Sonic the SMI DUO Stay and Play part # SM99251 is the best option. But if you wanted something that installs easier but requires removal and re-installation every time it's used the Blue Ox Patriot part # BRK2019 is the best option for that. You'll need the outlet kit part # RM-9332 to go along with this to power it.

For a base plate kit the part # 523173-4 is a confirmed fit and would work well.

The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

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 the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
