Recommended Base Plates For 2018 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback  

Updated 04/16/2018 | Published 04/13/2018

Question:

I have 2007 Saturn Ion with the 3136-1 base plate ... can this be removed and installed on a 2018 Chevy Sonic hatchback, 1.4 turbo with the RS package? Thank you.

The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 3136-1 is not a confirmed fit for the 2018 Chevrolet Sonic . However, the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-523194-5 will work in a similar fashion.

If you plan to flat tow this vehicle, for brake and tail lights, I recommend the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit, Item # RM-155. This kit is a completely independent system from your vehicle's lighting system that mounts inside your tail light lens housing. Fuses must be pulled while towing the Sonic. To make dealing with fuses as simple as flipping a switch, I recommend getting the fuse bypasses like Item # RM76511 and Item # RM76512.

Most states require a supplemental braking system in the vehicle being flat towed. I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play Proportional System, Item # SM99251. The SMI has a one time setup and works proportionally with your RV's brake lights. You will also need a Stop Light Switch, Item # RM-751457, for the braking system to work properly.

I also have a link with high-low adapters to choose from.
