Helpful Expert Reply:

I reviewed the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe owner's manual and it can be flat towed. To flat tow your Tahoe, you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, a braking system, and maybe a high-low hitch adapter.

For your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe 4x4, I recommend the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit, Item # 3154-3, because it is designed for your vehicle. It is built with heavy-duty applications in mind. The front arms are easily removable when not in use.

The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain tow bar, Item # RM-676, is a great choice that fits the Roadmaster MX Base Plate. It has all kinds of flexibility to make your towing easier and safety cables are included.

A good one time set-up lighting kit for your Tahoe is the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-15267 that will use your vehicle's tail lights and also includes 7-wire to 6-wire coiled electrical cord.

If you want to keep the lighting systems for your RV and Tahoe separate then you will need a wiring converter like Item # 118158 and two additional diodes like Item # RM-792. The "separate" option uses your Tahoe's brake and turn signals instead of only a combined lighting system connected to the RV. Lights and brakes will work either way and your vehicle will still function as designed when not hooked up to your RV.

For braking, I recommend the SMI Stay-In-Play Braking System, Item # SM99251. It is a great proportional braking system that has a convenient one time set-up. You will need a stop light switch kit like Item # RM-751220 (adjustable pedals) or Item # RM-751421 (without adjustable pedals) for everything to work.

Finally, you may need a high-low hitch adapter may also be needed to keep your vehicle fairly level while being flat towed. A "safe zone" of 3 inches above or 3 inches below level must be maintained while towing a vehicle. High-low adapters provide necessary rise or drop to get into the "safe zone". I have attached a link to our available selections.

Before towing your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe 4x4, check your vehicle owner's manual for suggestions and recommendations.
