Hey Jim! I would happy to get you set up with all of the parts you need for your 2016 Chevy Equinox. You already have the tow bar so that leaves the base plate, safety cables, wiring, and brake system (InvisiBrake). For a complete Roadmaster setup you need the following:
-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523184-5
-RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643
-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267
-Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
-Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicles # RM-76517 (If you have a 4 cylinder)
-Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicles # RM76511(If you have a V6)
-Roadmaster InvisiBrake Flat Tow Brake System # RM-8700
-Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439
More than likely you will also need a high-low adapter to keep you within 3" of level. I went ahead and attached a help article below which explains how to measure and choose the right adapter. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below.
