Expert Reply:
A 2018 GMC Canyon with 6 speed manual transmission can be flat towed only if you disconnect the drive shaft. You will need a drive shaft coupling for this application which unfortunately we don't sell but I can email you information on who can help.
If you use the drive shaft coupling, then you can use the following parts to flat tow:
Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523182-5
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle # RM-766
SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251
Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751472
You will also need a high-low adapter and I've linked an article to help you get the correct fit. I've also linked the page to make selection easy.
