Question:
Can a 2021 Z71 LTZ 4x4 be flat towed behind a Super C motor home

Expert Reply:
If your 2021 Silverado 1500 4x4 LTZ has a transfer case with a Neutral and a 4WD low setting, it can be flat towed. I don't have a way to look up what the 4WD style the LTZ models might have.
You'll need base plates like the Blue Ox # BLU54VR, a tow bar like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 tow bar, part # BX7380 which also includes the safety cables you'll need.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
