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?

You are correct. If the Blue Ox Patriot part #BLU37TR is not moving the accelerometer would not sense braking and start applying the brakes.
