To flat tow your 2015 GMC Yukon XL you'll need the following components:

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523179-5.

Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e84ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms to prevent them from dragging on the ground. The head and shank can be adjusted to help keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and Yukon. Roadmaster base plate pins # RM-910029 are required to complete the connection to your Roadmaster base plate.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into the factory wiring to properly display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights of the Yukon.

Since the battery needs to be disconnected to flat tow I recommend installing the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766 to make the process as easy as pressing a button.

Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This portable system comes with a remote to alert you when the brakes are being applied and will allow you to change the brake settings from the cab of your motorhome. It also includes a charge line kit to help keep the battery of the Yukon charged while you tow.
