• Can I Install a Base Plate Kit and Front Mounted Trailer Hitch on a 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  The Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit, # 3154-3, is one of the correct base plate kits for a 2007 GMC Yukon XL 1500. I have included a link to all the base plate kits for the Yukon XL in case you have different model. I spoke with my contact at Curt about the Front Hitch, # C31012. He stated that it will fit your 2007 GMC Yukon as long as it is a 1500, and not a hybrid model. There are no front hitches available for the 2500 or hybrid models. I have included a link to the instructions for this...

There are 5 main parts needed to flat tow a vehicle: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Roadmaster MX base plates # 3154-3.

• Can a 2011 GMC Yukon 4x4 with Single Speed Transfer Case Be Modified to Flat Tow?
  You are correct that the 2011 GMC Yukon 4x4 with single speed transfer case cannot be flat towed as is. I've attached a photo of the pages from the owners manual to assist. It is logical to think because the 2 speed transfer case models can be flat towed without issue that dropping the drive shaft as you stated would allow you to safely tow your single speed vehicle. Without proper testing, I can't confirm this would be the case, but it is very logical. If you decide to tow it, I recommend...

• Base Plate Kit and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  With the Roadmaster Sterling, part # RM-576, I recommend the MX kit, part # 3154-3, for a base plate kit that fits your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. The safety cables of the Sterling won't fit with these but you can attach the cables somewhere else on the truck. The wiring kit to power the truck's lights that I suggest is the diode kit, part # RM-15267. It provides a 6-way connector at the front of the truck and a cord to connect the RV's 7-way to that 6-way. For a supplemental braking...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 Behind a Motor Home
  Given that your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 could easily get over the 5,000 pound limit of the base plates you're refering to I recommend going with a different set. The Roadmaster MX base plates, # 3154-3, are generally considered more heavy duty and are recommended for trucks and SUVs. For a compatible tow bar, you will want a Roadmaster model that slides into the hitch on the RV.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2010 Chevy Tahoe with ReadyBrute Tow Bar
  Since we do not offer ReadyBrute tow bars, we don't have the clevises you're referring to that normally come with the tow bars, but I can recommend base plates and the other parts you'll need to complete your flat towing setup. The good news is that from what I was able to find out, the ReadyBrute is compatible with all of the major manufacturer's base plates- so you won't need any additional adapters outside of the clevises that are available from ReadyBrute.

• Will Roadmaster Base Plate 3154-3 Fit a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Unfortunately the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit # 3154-3 is not compatible with a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado. I am not sure what, if any, modification can be done to make it fit but I advise against doing so as Roadmaster wouldn't have had a chance to test it for safety. The correct MX base plate kit for your 2006 Silverado 1500 will be one of the following (depending on your sub-model): 1500 LD - Z71 - # 199-6 (Front suspension must use torsion bar) 1500 LD - excluding Z71 - # 199-11 (Front...
