Hey David, welcome back. Since you already have a Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7380, here are the parts you'll need to flat tow a 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS:

Baseplate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM82GR and the Blue Ox Tow Bar Adapter Brackets for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates
item # BX88185

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit item # RM26FR

Battery Disconnect - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle item # RM-766

Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes

Are you vehicle shopping or setting up separate flat tows for different vehicles? If you're setting up a second vehicle let me know because we've got 2nd vehicle kits and I'd recommend those instead.

@DavidG Yes, there is actually. I checked with Blue Ox and their Base Plate Kit item # BLU52UR does fit the LS model. Looks like it's currently backordered which is why it didn't show up as an option initially on our website. I would definitely go this route over the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM82GR and the Blue Ox Tow Bar Adapter Brackets for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates item # BX88185. The less moving pieces the better.
