Hi Brain,
Congrats on the new truck!
To flat tow your new 2026 GMC Canyon 4x4 with your Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar, you'll need:
-Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BLU85CR (will not work with Off-Road bumper or AT4X AEV Edition)
-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-15267, will connect your RV's tail/brake/turn lights to your towed vehicle's. Includes 7-way to 6-way coiled adapter cord and 6-way socket
-Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/Flat Tow Braking System - GAS ONLY part # RM-766 (Battery must be disconnected to tow because vehicle has equivalent of full-time "active" brakes)
-Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25, to keep battery charged while towing to power braking system
-Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System part # BLU37TR
-12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332, to install 12V to use Blue Ox Patriot braking system
That covers all the main components to flat tow your new Canyon, if you don't already have safety cables you can also add the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables part # BX88197. Or if you want a protective screen to protect your new truck from rocks and debris flying up and hitting it while towing, I recommend using the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screen for Towed Vehicles part # RM-4750.
Do you have any trips planned yet to take your Canyon out on?
