We carry all the items needed to equip a vehicle like your 2012 Cadillac SRX AWD for flat towing behind your motorhome. We even have help articles that will explain the items needed and the various options available to you; these articles are linked for review.
These articles and your Cadillac owner's manual are the places to get started. I checked the online edition of the manual for your car and Cadillac states the AWD SRX can be flat towed from the front up to 65-mph. The manual explains... view full answer...
It sounds like you are wanting to flat tow your 2013 Cadillac SRX behind your RV.
For a supplemental braking system, I really like the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. This proportional system will activate as soon as your RV's brake lights go on and apply the brakes in your Cadillac with the same intensity that you are braking with inside the RV. It is a one-time setup, meaning you will not need to remove or activate anything each time you tow. The actual operating unit and actuating cylinder... view full answer...
The factory plug on your 2014 Cadillax SRX will only work with a 4-way harness since it only has the functionality for the trailer lights. You will need to install the 4-way and then add a 7-way to it.
The most reliable option for a 4-way is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118259. Once installed, you can use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This kit comes with the adapter, wiring, breakers, and everything else you need to upgrade to a 7-way. view full answer...
Congrats on your vehicle purchase!
A complete towing package includes a trailer hitch receiver, wiring, a ball mount, pin and clip and a ball.
For your 2015 Cadillac SRX AWD I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75682. This provides you with a 2-inch receiver which not only accepts a larger variety of accessories over the 1-1/4 option, but it also has a higher towing capacity at 4,000 lbs and 400 tongue weight which is plenty enough for the 2,800 lb trailer... view full answer...
I was able to verify with Roadmaster that you will need the Adapter # RM-031-5 for your Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 serial number 5448. This will allow you to replace the ends on your bars and connect directly to the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1690 on your 2015 Cadillac SRX. view full answer...
First you need the base plate kit which you have already picked out part # RM-523162-4 which is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Cadillac SRX without cruise control.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you... view full answer...
Yes, for the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plates, # RM-523162-4, the Quick-Disconnect Crossbar, # 910021-00, will have to be used with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-676.
The Quick-Disconnect is easy to install and remove from you vehicle once you have completed your need for flat towing. The attached video will explain how to install and remove the Quick-Disconnect bar from the EZ4 style base plates.
The # 910021-00 Quick-Disconnect bar is sold separately from the Roadmaster... view full answer...
The 2004 Cadillac SRX is a hard-wire application. You have to splice into the wires ran for the tail lights and run a wire up to the vehicle battery. I imagine the Chilton manual has it right. The wiring kit you will need is part # C59496. It includes a power Modulite that combines the separate turn and brake light signals and pulls power from the battery since the tail lights have limited power because they are LED. view full answer...
In order to determine if your vehicles can be flat towed and if there are any special requirements (such as a specific transmission or engine) you will want to consult your vehicle owner's manuals.
To flat tow either vehicle you will need 5 main components: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and a supplemental braking system.
Base plates for the Cadillac SRX: # 3125-3.
Base plates for the Ford Edge: # 4408-1.
Compatible tow bar for either vehicle: Falcon # RM-520.

Although there are no mats made specifically for the ramp on your MaxxTow 27x47 Cargo Carrier MT70100, since the ramp measures 40" long x 27-3/4" wide you may be able to use the 5/16" thick Westin Custom Fit Tailgate Mat # 50-6545 which measures 59" long x 26" wide. You can either cut the length to match or put the extra material on or off the ramp. view full answer...
The correct Roadmaster base plate kit for your 2014 Cadillac SRX is the Roadmaster part # RM-523162-4. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
For braking you don't use a standard brake controller like when towing and instead you use supplemental braking which is a similar concept but different. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is... view full answer...
I don't have any information about which wire color you're needing, but what you're looking for is the wire that only shows signal with the brake pedal pushed. In a situation where the brake stoplight switch isn't easily accessible, or can't be found I'd recommend installing an auxiliary switch like the part # RM-751441 offered by Roadmaster. These switches are typically used for flat towing a vehicle, but they'll also work perfectly for this purpose. The switch is simple to install and... view full answer...
