Question:

RM-576 Does this tow bar work for 2015 GMC Acadia Denali fwd?

asked by: Rich D

Expert Reply:

Tow bars such as the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-576, are not vehicle specific but match to a variety of vehicle base plates, which can be vehicle specific.

For your 2015 GMC Acadia the parts needed to flat tow start with a base plate kit, I suggest the Roadmaster EZ Crossbar Style Base Plate Kit, # 523149-1. These are a confirmed fit for your 2015 GMC Acadia and will match to the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar, # RM-576.

In addition to the base plates and tow bar you will need lighting and supplemental braking. For lighting I suggest the diode kit, # RM-15267. This diode kit allows you to use your GMC Acadia's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. This works to wire 2-wire and 3-wire systems to operate as a combined lighting systems letting your vehicle accept your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights for flat towing. You will also need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, # RM-88400.

For supplemental braking, I suggest the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System, # SM99251.

You will most likely need a high/low adaptor too for purpose of keeping the tow bar level. I have attached a helpful article to assist in selecting the correct one.

I have included other helpful links to our articles on flat towing as well and several product reveiw and installation videos on items suggested. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
