Question:
I have a 2025 Silverado ZR2. 1500 Bison edition with AEV package. 4 wheel drive 2 speed transfer case. What base plate kits do you have for this set up. I was told that the tow mounts on the Bumper are 10,000 LB. rated. Can you provide options as I want to flat tow this truck.

Hi Chris, cool truck! ^___^
For your 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison edition with the AEV package, you are going to want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU75CR. From what I could find, the bumpers AEV uses on the Silverado trucks is not rated for flat towing, but I did confirm the Blue Ox base plates are what they recommend.
From there, you will want the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch # BX7420. This is rated to 10,000 pounds as well, so you will have plenty of capacity with this base plate and tow bar set up. If you don't have the rest of the components picked out, I have those listed below:
Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes (Qty 2) # RM-792 (needed for 2024 and up Silverado trucks)
Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System - Gas Only # RM-766
Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
You then need a braking system, but there are a few options for that part. What RV will you be towing your truck with? Is it diesel or gas? And would you prefer a permanent or portable system?
