Thank you for the review on the installation video for the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1690 Jack. I have linked it near the bottom of this page as well as the other videos we have for installing both the wiring harness and supplemental braking systems. You will of course need a set of Tow Bars # BX7420 if you do not still have yours from your 2006 Vue to pull your 2016 Cadillac SRX.

For the wiring you will need the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and a Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25. The charge line will prevent either the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System # SM99251 for motorhomes with hydraulic brakes or the Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System # SM99243 for motorhomes with air brakes from draining your battery.

You may need an adjustable Drop Hitch # BLU28XR to keep the bars within 3" of level from your motorhome to the front of your SRX to prevent damage to the bars.
