Question:
Hi, Im looking to flat-tow my 2023 GMC Denali, but I was checking to make sure I can before buying all that is needed. When I put my vehicle in neutral and let the truck roll down the driveway, the emergency electric brake locks up, and I cant find a way to shut it off. I have heard that I may need to install a battery shut-off on the ground wire. Is this true?

Expert Reply:
The battery of your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali does need to be disconnected like you mentioned. We have an automatic disconnect that we have installed on a similar Sierra with the part # RM-766 which I attached an install video for on this page.
You will need a base plate kit # RM-523198-5
Tow bar # RM-522
Lighting kit part # RM-9243-1
Supplemental braking system part # BLU37TR
Outlet kit part # RM-9332
