  • Recommended Flat Towing Setup for a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado 2WD
  • The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98966 you're looking at is only made to work with the 4WD versions, however I was able to contact Roadmaster and confirm that their Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523182-5 is a fit for the 2WD.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Chevy Cruze 2LT with Manual Transmission
  • For the 2012 Chevy Cruze it looks like there are base plates for various models. If your 2LT does not have fog lights and is not an RS model then I recommend the Roadmaster base plates # 523168-1. If you have an Eco model with active air shutter system, go with # 523170-1. And for an RS model the only option is # BX1698. For either of the Roadmaster base plates I recommend the Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520. If you need the Blue Ox base plates then go with the Avail tow bar # BX7420. For safety...

  • In cases like yours where your hitched 5th wheel is riding nose-high and you still need more pin box clearance at the bed rails a low-cost solution that works well for many is an axle over-under kit.

  • Is There a Baseplate Kit That Fits A 2015 Chevrolet Impala?
  • I went ahead and checked the owner's manual for your 2015 Chevrolet Impala, and the owner's manual actually states that you are not supposed to flat tow this vehicle, so there is not going to be any compatible base plates.

Since any dual hitch receiver will act as an extender it will also reduce the weight ratings of your trailer hitch by 50% as well. As long as the reduced weight rating of your trailer hitch is able to handle...
