Sure thing, and there are a number of other parts you'll need to flat tow your 2023 Cadillac Escalade with your Blue Ox Apollo Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7470.
Those parts include base plates, wiring, a battery disconnect, and a supplemental braking system. Please note there are differences in some parts depending on if your '23 Escalade has a gas or diesel engine, and also that base plates only fit 4WD models (there are no fits for 2WD models). I'll go ahead and list the parts out for you below to make it easy to order.
- Base Plates - GAS Engine: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU34GR
