asked by: Al H

Expert Reply:

There is actually nothing different, as the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518266 is a fit for your 2012 Cadillac SRX either with or without adaptive cruise control, so this is the exact base plate you'll need to flat tow your SRX. There are a number of parts you'll need for this, and I'll recommend the best options for you:

- Base Plate Kit: Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518266
- Tow Bar: Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
OR
- For a motorhome with air brakes: Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243

The Demco Classic Base Plates are going to give your Cadillac a clean look, and the Commander II tow bar is the best option because it has long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing, along with integrated safety cables, saving you from having to make the cables in a separate purchase.

The Flexo-Coil wiring kit is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your Cadillac's electrical system safe, and both the Stay-IN-Play DUO and Air Force One are strongly recommended because they are one-time installs which will never require any type of removal or reactivation, and give you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. This results in much smoother braking than most systems which send out a pre-set amount of braking power and thus are more rigid.

Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at, including installs of the wiring and braking systems on an SRX.
