Expert Reply:
No, there is not Gary but congrats on the new truck! All of the baseplates for the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 replace the factory tow hooks and none of the manufacturers make a removable arm that can be used in replace of the tow hooks.
The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU24TR, you were looking at, is confirmed to fit the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the exception of the ZR2 models. This baseplate is compatible with Blue Ox tow bars and other manufacturer's like Roadmaster, etrailer, and Demco if you use the correct adapter. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get it setup.
Here are the rest of the parts you will need to flat tow your 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates item # e67ZR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - item # RM-15267
Battery Disconnect - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle item # RM-766 for a gas engine item # RM93MR for a diesel engine
Supplemental Braking System - Curt RVi Series Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System item # RVI94FR for a permanent install or the Curt RVi Series 4 Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # RVI44FR for a portable system.
Please note you will also need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751495 if you go with the permanently installed item # RVI94FR. This makes sure your braking system isn't applying when it's not supposed to.
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.

Ok. I picked up a new 2026 Silverado yesterday. I need time purchase the blue ox base plates. There’s 3 different ones on your site at 3 different prices. I am confused to which one I need. Also looking for an installation video so I know how to put them on
