Question:
What is the right Blue Ox base plate for 2022 GMC Canyon Elevation? Does it require any cutting of the front grill?
asked by: Stacey S
Expert Reply:
The correct Blue Ox base plate kit for your 2022 GMC Canyon is item # BLU93FR. This kit has removeable arms that will leave the front end of your truck looking clean when you are not towing.
These base plates work for Blue Ox tow bars but you will need adapters for other brands. For Demco you need item # BX88310 and for Roadmaster item # RM-031 or item # RM-031-5.
I have linked the instructions below for you to take a look at. There will be no required cutting or trimming of any material on the front of your Canyon. The base plates attach where your tow hooks are currently mounted. They will protrude through the same hole in the bottom of your trim that the tow hooks do.
I have listed some other components you will need to flat tow your 2022 GMC Canyon below. Since you are going to be flat towing a brand new truck I recommend installing a braking system over a portable one that gets removed. This will pay off in convenience for years and won't be an obstruction for daily driving.
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 if your RV has hydraulic brakes and item # SM99243 if your RV has air brakes.
Charge Line Kit - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25
