Congrats on the new ride and we can definitely get your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation ready to be flat towed, and since you already have the Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar # BX4370 we can get your truck compatible Blue Ox base plates. There's a number of parts needed so I'll go ahead and list them out for you to make it easy.
- Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU35XR
- Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR
- 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332
- Roadmaster Battery Disconnect - Gas Engine # RM-766 or Diesel Engine # RM93MR
The Blue Ox base plates are compatible with your tow bar so and have a nice, clean look for your truck. The wiring is a diode kit to keep your truck's electronic systems safe, and has a 7-way on the end to connect to your motorhome's 7-way.
The Patriot braking system is portable so it won't be something you have to install permanently, just note that the 12 volt outlet kit is needed because you have to disconnect your Sierra's batteries when flat towing it. There's also a couple things to note about the battery disconnect.
First is just a reminder to be sure you get the right one depending on if your truck has a gas or diesel engine. The second is that I know some of these trucks have a pair of batteries, and you'll need one disconnect per battery, so keep that in mind.
And that'll do it! With those parts you're set to hit the road with your truck in tow behind your motorhome. The only other thing I recommend considering, just to keep that truck looking stellar, is a rock guard, the Blue Ox KarGard # BX8870.
