Helpful Expert Reply:

The battery will need to be disconnected while you flat tow your 2023 Chevy Trailblazer. If you want to make this process as easy as pressing a button then you'll want to install the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing setup then I have the following recommendations for you:

Baseplate: For L, LS, LT, and ACTIV models you'll need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM35FR. For RS models part # RM46VR.

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so that you won't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: For RS models you can use a standard diode kit like part # RM-15267. Since the L, LS, LT, and ACTIV models have variable voltage tail lights you'll need part # RM26FR instead.

Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This removable system comes with a remote that displays when the brakes are being activated in your Trailblazer and will allow you to change your brake settings from the cab of your motorhome.
