Helpful Expert Reply:
To flat tow a 2021 Chevy Tahoe Z71 you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar item # RM-576 and item # RM-674
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM64ZR only works with the Z71 models use item # RM59VR for the regular non-Z71 models.
Battery Disconnect - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch item # RM-766
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit for LED's item # RM38FR or Item # RM26FR for Incandescent Lights
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes
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.
