Recommended Baseplate and Flat Towing Set Up for a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500
Question:
I need base plate for 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 at4. I have a Demco Excalibur 1 tow bar but looking at the Demco Excalibur III. What is your recommendations. I need to stay with at least 10,000 tow bar for other vehicle I tow. Ready to buy!

Expert Reply:
I checked with Demco and their Tabless Base Plate Kit item # DM29FR is exactly what you need to flat tow your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 with a Excali-Bar III Tow Bar item # DM9511013. This is custom fit and works with all models of the 2023 Sierra 1500 including your AT4.
Here are some other parts you're going to need to flat tow your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500:
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Battery Disconnect Switch - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle item # RM-766
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes
Brake Light Switch - Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751495
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.
