According to the GM Technical Service Bulletin 17-NA-348, GM has identified 4-cylinder models of this vehicle as having steering instability issues while towing. If you have a 4-cylinder model of this vehicle, you will need a # RM-76517 instead of a # RM76511, and will need to leave fuse DLIS #32 intact and pull the ABS module fuse located under the hood. Note: due to manufacturing variances, some 4-cylinder models may label the ABS module fuse as #15 or #16. This information is current as of November 20, 2017.
Since you have a 6-cylinder model you will need to remove the Discrete Logic Ignition Switch (Fuse 32) while flat towing your vehicle. I recommend installing the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass - 13" - 20-Amp Mini-Fuse # RM76511 to make disconnecting the fuse as easy as flipping a switch.
