Hi Steven; I can definitely get you set up so you're ready to go when your new truck arrives. You will need the following parts to flat tow your 2025 GMC Canyon:
-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM48GR
-Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 (includes safety cables and 6-way to 7-way wiring)
-Roadmaster Accessory Kit for Nighthawk Tow Bars # RM-9284-2 (completes wiring along with locks and storage bag)
-Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System # RM-766
-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251
OR
-Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes # SM99243
You will need to choose the right braking system based on whether your motorhome has hydraulic or air brakes. More than likely you will also need a high-low adapter to keep your setup level. I went ahead and attached an article below which explains how to choose the correct adapter, along with a link to our available adapters for your reference.
