Recommendations For Flat Towing a Cadillac SRX
Question:
I keep reading that a 2014 Cadillac SRX can be flat towed, and the base plate installed to a car without cruise control. What if we have cruise control? Can it be done?

Expert Reply:
I believe the issue you referring to is not traditional cruise control but the feature on many later model vehicles of adaptive cruise control, which I don't believe the 2014 Cadillac SRX models were equipped with. However, please verify this with your vehicle specific owners manual and look under under recreational towing section for any other restrictions your specific vehicles trim level and options may have.
The needed items are:
Base Plates, # RM-523162-4
Tow Bar, # RM-520
Safety Cables, # RM-643
Lighting, # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking, # BLU37TR
I've also linked our selection of high/low adapters since it's likely that you'll need one to keep the tow bar level when towing, as well as linking several help articles on flat towing you might find helpful and several installation videos of the above listed items being installed on a Cadillac SRX.
