Question:

I am considering purchasing a new 2020 Chevrolet Equinox AWD Premier to tow 4 down behind my 2013 Newmar Bay Star 2901. Could you please advise me on what equipment I need to purchase to have a complete towing package. Also, do your customers ever use the car dealer for the toad part of the installation? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

According to the online owners manual for your vehicle it can be flat towed. I recommend reading through the manual for proper procedures so you don't damage the vehicle.

Your complete flat tow setup which can be installed by any mechanic you trust. Normally dealers have a higher cost than other shops, but you can use whomever you trust for installation of components.

I recommend the following parts:

Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1730
Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 10,000 lbs # BX7420
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR
12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332

You may also need a high-low adapter for your hitch so I've linked and article and the page to all your options.
