I would be happy to recommend everything you will need to flat tow your 2019 Chevrolet Sonic.
Starting with the base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster Direct Connect Base Plate Kit, but the correct one will be dependant on the engine and style of your Sonic. You will need the # RM-523192-5 if your Sonic is a 1.8L Sedan, # RM-523203-5 If your Sonic is a 1.4L Turbo Sedan, or # RM-523194-5 if your Sonic is a hatchback.
For a tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522 which will work with any of the base plate kits mentioned, and is one of our most popular tow bars due to its non-binding arms that allow you to quickly and easily unhook your tow vehicle even on un-even ground.
For safety cables and wiring I recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 and Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit with Straight Wiring # RM-9243-1 which includes the tow bar wiring, and safety cables, but also includes a storage case for the tow bar when you are not flat towing.
Moving on to a supplemental braking system I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR due to its easy installation, and since it gets completely removed when you are done towing you can use it in multiple tow vehicles if needed. You will also need 12v Outlet Kit # RM-9332.
Lastly you will more than likely need a high-low adapter to level your tow bar to your tow vehicle so I have included a link to a helpful article that goes over how to measure for the correct adapter, and a link to tall of our high-low adapters for you to take a look at.
It is always a good idea to check the recreational towing section of your vehicles owner's manual for any flat tow restrictions, and for any special steps required to make your vehicle ready to be flat towed.
