Question:
Hi I have a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Do I need to disconnect the battery while flat towing. We have the Patriot brake system. If we need to disconnect battery should I get power from The RV? Or can we just put the key in accessory position for the trip. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
When flat towing your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 the battery does need to be disconnected so what you'd need to power the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR is the outlet kit part # RM-9332. This wires directly to the vehicle battery to draw power from so that when the battery is disconnected the braking system still has power.
