asked by: Paul K
Expert Reply:
Since your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has a transfer case that would indicate that it is 4WD and it can be flat towed.
To flat tow your vehicle, you're going to need to do the following:
1. Position the vehicle being towed behind
the tow vehicle, facing forward and on a
level surface.
2. Securely attach the vehicle being towed
to the tow vehicle.
3. Apply the parking brake and start the
engine.
4. Shift the transfer case to N (Neutral).
5. With the engine running, release the
parking brake and verify that the
transfer case is in N (Neutral) by shifting
the transmission to D (Drive) and then to
R (Reverse). There should be no
movement while shifting the
transmission.
6. Shift the transmission to D (Drive).
7. If equipped with an ignition key, turn
the ignition to ACC/ACCESSORY.
If equipped with Keyless Access, turn the
engine off. Disregard the shift to park.
As far as equipment needed goes, you're going to need:
1. A base plate kit # RM-523199-5,
2. A set of tow bars # RM-676,
3. A braking system # BLU37TR,
4. A 12V outlet kit # RM-9332,
5. A battery disconnect kit # RM-766,
&
6. A wiring harness # RM-154.
