You'll only be able to flat tow your 2014 Chevy Cruze with all 4 wheels down if it has a manual transmission. If it DOES have a manual transmission, I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain tow bar, part # RM-522. For base plates, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # 523170-1 for Eco models or # 523168-1 for Non-Eco models.

You'll also need safety cables, a taillight wiring solution, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the 17 inch installed base plate height has a height difference of more than 3 inches compared to the receiver height of the motorhome.

If your Cruze has an automatic transmission, you'll need to use a tow dolly like the # RM-2050-1 you'd looked at or you can transport the vehicle on a trailer.

If you'd like suggestions on the remaining parts needed, let me know. I'd be happy to help.
