Expert Reply:
Based on your previous questions, I believe you are looking for a base plate kit and tow bar to flat tow your 2006 Chevrolet Aveo behind a motorhome or another vehicle.
If this is the case, then you will want a base plate kit like part # BX1658 and a tow bar like part # BX7380. Unfortunately a tow bar cannot be connected directly to the bumper because the bumper is not strong enough to pull the weight of the Aveo.
A few other components that you will need to flat tow your Aveo are a tail light kit, like part # TLL21RK, and a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot, # BLU37TR. Most states require a braking system when flat towing.
I have attached a help article on flat towing for you to check out. It covers all of the basic components and an overview if you are new to flat towing. I also recommend checking your owners before towing your Aveo. There are usually vehicle specific procedures and restrictions that you will need to know before towing.
