Yes, Roadmaster base plates # 118-1 will fit your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick 2-door. All of the Roadmaster tow bars are compatible with these base plates. For an economical tow bar I recommend the Tracker # RM-020. For safety cables use # RM-643.
For lighting, if your Sidekick has a metal roof, I recommend magnetic light kit # RM-2120. If it does not have a metal roof you can still use the magnetic light kit but you will also need magnetic tow light partners # TLP01.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. One of the easiest systems to set up and use is the Even Brake proportional system # RM-9400. It will apply the Sidekick brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the easiest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Be sure to consult your Sidekick owners manual for specific information on flat towing the vehicle. I have also included some helpful links to our series of help articles on flat towing for you.
