Expert Reply:

Yes, you can flat tow the manual transmission models of the 2019 Hyundai Elantra. You would need theBlue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX2343 you were looking at. This kit has removable arms and a hidden design that provides a clean, seamless look.

You will also need the following parts to flat tow your Elantra:

Tow Bar - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs item # RM-520

Safety Chains - RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs item # RM-643

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267

Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System item # BLU37TR

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
