Recommended Curt Flat Tow Setup for 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2  

Updated 08/12/2026 | Published 07/27/2026

Question:

I just picked up a 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 with the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel and want to flat tow it behind our motorhome. Can you give me a complete list of everything I need? I'd rather get it all at once so I'm not finding out halfway through the install that I'm missing something. Can you build the setup off this Curt base plate?

Hey Mike, congratulations on the new ZR2! I can definitely get you set up. For your 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 I recommend the following:

-Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C24NQ

-Curt Rambler Non-Binding Tow Bar # C25DQ (includes safety cables)

-Curt Tow Bar Cover - Rambler # C56VV (optional)

-Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit # RM-15267

-Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes (Qty 2) # RM-792

-Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System - Diesel # RM93MR

-Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25

-Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System # BLU37TR

-Blue Ox 12 Volt Power Outlet Kit # BLU33QV

The Curt # C24NQ is specifically designed to fit the ZR2 and replaces the factory tow hooks. I like pairing it with the newer Curt Rambler # C25DQ, which has a 7,500 lb capacity, non-binding arms, and includes the safety cables so you won't need to add those separately.

You'll also want to check the height of the base plate against the receiver on your motorhome once everything is installed. If the tow bar isn't within 3" of level, you'll need the appropriate high-low adapter like # e52ZV. See the attached article which explains how to measure.

Where are you headed once you get the new truck all set up?
