Expert Reply:

Base plates are designed for the GVWR of the vehicle so there isn't a known maximum for the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98965 because it's only tested to the maximum GVWR.

The base plate is more of an anchor and the tow bar does the actual pulling, so you'll want to insure that you choose the correctly rated tow bar for the curb weight of your Equinox as well as any items you load into it.

Since the GVWR of your Equinox is 4,400lbs to 4,900lbs my recommendation is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR. It will connect to your base plate with no adapters needed and comes with safety cables and an adjustable head and shank to keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and your Equinox.
