Flat Towing A 2021 Chevy Spark
Question:
what is the cost for all new parts to install and be ready for use. From the plate kit for the car to the RV connection rods as well as wiring harness. I would be pulling behind a Class C 31ft RV with double 2foot tow hitch

To flat tow your 2021 Chevy Spark you'll need base plates, a tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables, and a braking system. If you have an automatic transmission you will have dolly tow instead of flat tow. I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800lbs - Wide Tread # DM9713093.
I recommend the following flat towing items for you:
Base Plates: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM-523202-5 - these will fit whether you have a LT or LS.
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000lbs Item # RM-520 - This tow bar will fit your base plates with no issues.
Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs Item # RM-155 - this wiring kit is a confirmed fir for your vehicle and is a one time set up that splices into your vehicle's wiring and uses your vehicles brake lights instead of using magnetic lights.
Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs Item # RM-643.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System Item # HM39494 - This system comes with a battery charger to keep your battery full while towing and can easily be put in and taken out since Sparks have very limited space.
