Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2024 Chevy Equinox
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I have a 2024 Chevy Equinox and I want to tow it behind a RV. What is the best and most cost-effective set up. I was told the Curt 70180 will work. Is it compatible with the Ox BX7365? Thanks.

Hey Art, so flat towing setups typically cost a decent amount of money to do right so it's hard to avoid most of the expense but I'll see what we can do. The Curt 70180 base plate kit is our part # C28FR which is a fit for your 2024 Chevy Equinox and is compatible with the Blue Ox tow bar part # BX7365 that we used to carry (I assume you have one already). The current Alpha is the Alpha 2 part # BX7380.
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.
