Hello Justin,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is not a base plate for your 2024 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 that does not require that removal of your tow hooks. If you do decide to go ahead with the flat tow, here is a package I would put together:
- Base Plate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU54VR
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,000 lbs # BX7420
- Wiring: Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
- Brake Light Switch: Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000
- Charge Line: Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
- Battery Disconnect: Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System - Gas Only # RM-766
- Braking System: If your coach has hydraulic brakes # DM86VR, if your coach has air brakes # DM26VR
I attached a help article on the "Must-Have Flat Towing Components." It is a great read whether you are just getting started, or a good refresher for the seasoned flat tower.
Are you new to flat towing, or just getting a new vehicle set-up?
