Hey Mark, yes the Blue Ox Trion tow bar part # BX7520P would work great to flat tow a truck like your 2026 Chevy Silverado 3500. Then you will need a base plate kit like the Blue Ox part # BLU77UR.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Curt RVi Series 4 Portable Flat Tow Brake System # RVI44FR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

Thank you Jameson! Is there an aftermarket bumper like a Ranchhand or other brand that will still allow me to properly install this towbar ?

@MarkS There are D-ring adapters that can be used with aftermarket bumpers but not every aftermarket bumper is rated for flat towing so before you pull the trigger on one I would recommend checking with them.
