Hi Fred!
We haven't had a chance to install the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM56NQ on a 2025 GMC Canyon AT4X yet, so no video yet. However, I just read over the instructions and it looks like you will really only be removing that skid plate where your tow hooks come out of. There is a little more to it than that, but not a lot more. I included the instructions as they will show you exactly what you need to do.
Do you have all the other parts needed to flat tow your Canyon picked out already?
