asked by: Rex G

Expert Reply:

There are a couple of options for wiring kits depending on whether or not your 2020 Chevy Equinox has LED or incandescent lights.

For LED Tail Lights: Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM38FR

For Incandescent Tail Lights: Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage Incandescent Tail Lights item # RM26FR

For a charge line you will want the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25

I have listed some other parts you will need to flat tow your 2020 Chevy Equinox below along with any installation videos we may have:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643

Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-156-25

Supplemental Braking System - Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # DM86VR

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.
