What base plate do I need for my 2004 Yukon SLT. Its 2wd.
asked by: Eric
Expert Reply:
The base plate I recommend to flat-tow your 2004 GMC Yukon SLT is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 199-6. I recommend this base plate kit because it has removable arms, giving it a clean look when not towing.
If you need a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch # RM-422. I recommend this tow bar because it has a latch that makes disconnecting very easy.
When flat-towing you will also need safety cables, a supplemental braking system and a wiring kit. I have recommendations for those items if you need them as well.
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643
