For your 2012 Chevy Sonic, there are many components you will need. Here are my recommendations for you:
Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1703 for a custom connection to your Sonic frame.
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-525 to connect the RV to your Sonic baseplates. You will also need safety cables # RM-643.
Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage Incandescent Tail Lights # RM26FR to ensure the lighting at the back of your towed vehicle matches your braking and turn signals. It will protect your factory wiring while utilizing your tail lights. It also gives a simple connection point for towing.
Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251 for connecting the braking systems so your RV braking will allow you to utilize your vehicle brakes for safety.
