In order to flat tow a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado you will need base plates, a tow bar, flat-tow wiring harness, and safety cables. In some states a supplemental braking system is also needed though this is not a required component. I have attached some recommendations below as well as a list of our supplemental braking systems.
