Question:
Regarding a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer AWD: Im using all roadmaster products, Baseplate Nighthawk towbar, and Invisibrake. Do I need a brake light switch for the braking system? Thank you

Expert Reply:
It looks like you've got a good handle on what you need to flat tow your TrailBlazer. You will indeed need a stop light switch, part # RM62FR.
Also, per the owner's manual, you'll need to disconnect the negative battery terminal before towing. A quick disconnect, part # RM-766 is available. The kit includes a switch that mounts in the passenger cab of the vehicle that allows you to disconnect and connect the battery remotely without needing to go into the engine compartment and disconnect or reconnect it manually.
Also, because the vehicle has variable voltage taillights, you'll need to use a smart diode system if you were planning to use a diode system for the taillights. If your TrailBlazer has LED taillights, use # RM38FR or for incandescent taillights, use # RM26FR.
