I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2019 Chevy Blazer and on page 335 of the online manual it states "These vehicles may be dinghy towed from the front" so yes you can flat tow this vehicle! I do recommend checking out your copy of the manual which has some steps you'll need to follow to safely tow the car.

In order to do this there are a number of parts, which I'll list for you:

- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1735
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect # RM-766
- Supplemental Braking System: SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
OR
- If your motor home has air brakes: SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243

You may also need a high-low adapter in order to keep your '19 Blazer level, and I've added a link to a help article which shows you how to determine if you need an adapter as well as a link to our selection of adapters. Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at.

The answer to the question is no. The 2019 Blazer can NOT be towed 4 wheels down behind a motorhome. Kyle S, your expert, answered yes, that it can be flat-towed, but that is not what the owner's manual says. It can be DINGHY towed, which is much different than flat-towing. Be more careful when giving people advice on things of this nature- they may buy a vehicle on this information and then find out that they need to spend a lot more money when they learn that the vehicle isn't towable in the manner that you said it was.

I checked the owner's manual again for the Blazer and it does say that the vehicle can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground - and then goes into the procedure for doing so. Can you point me to where the manual says this cannot be done? Dinghy towing (not dolly towing) does refer to flat towing.

I was wondering if anyone ever found out if the 2019-21 Chevy Blazer can be flat towed behind a Motorcoach? I am considering purchasing one for this purpose and I don't want to make the wrong choice. Thank You!

@AngellaD According to the online owner's manuals for the 2019-2021 Chevy Blazer they can all be flat towed. Not sure where @Kevin got his info from, but I'm pretty sure he confused dolly towing and dinghy towing.
