We definitely have the parts needed to flat tow your 1986 Suzuki Samurai. I'll recommend parts that are simple to install and can easily be transferred to a future vehicle if the need arises. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.
Here are the parts I recommend using:

The Roadmaster base plates, # 1003-1, attach to the frame of the 1986 Suzuki Samurai. they do not replace or attach to the bumper on the vehicle.

I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. If the tow bar you have is not a Roadmaster tow bar, there may be an adapter that will work with it.

From what I could find online it looks like you can flat tow your 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara as long as it is a 4WD with a transfer switch. If it is a 4WD without a transfer switch then you need to use a trailer to keep all of the wheels off of the ground. For a 2WD you can tow it using a tow dolly with the rear wheels off of the ground. You will want to verify this and specific instructions in your copy of the owner's manual.
If you have a 2WD then I recommend using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly... view full answer...

The best way to confirm your Sidekick's suitability for flat towing is to check the owner's manual under the heading recreational towing or by checking with your local dealership using your VIN number. Generally, a vehicle with automatic transmission is less likely to be flat-towable and may require use of a tow dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1. Other cars may need special preparation steps before towing them wheels-down. Your manual/dealership will clarify this for you. My online... view full answer...
