Expert Answers about Chevrolet Tracker


  • Flat Tow Wiring for a 2001 Chevy Tracker
  • The wiring used for flat towing a vehicle is different than what you would use to tow a trailer with your 2001 Chevy Tracker so while I can definitely help you out with wiring, it will need to be a splice-in application instead of using the plug that you found. To match what you're wanting to do we have a few options. I like the idea of swapping the 6-Way on your RV over to a 7-Way simply because the 7-Way is a little more standard but it's up to you. For 7-Way RV connection you'll need...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Chevy Tracker Behind a Motor Home
  • I found a copy of the owners manual online for the 2001 Chevy Tracker and found that you can flat tow it (see section 4-44 in the owners manual). There are specific procedures outlined in the manual that you will need to follow. There are at least 5 items you will need to flat tow the Tracker. First you will need base plates like # 1012-1. The base plates provide a safe and secure attachment point for the tow bar, which is the next item you will need. For a compatible tow bar I recommend...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Chevy Tracker Behind a Motor Home with an Aladdin Tow Bar
  • You would need to use an adapter to use a Blue Ox Aladdin tow bar with the Roadmaster base plates, # 1021-1, because the 2 manufacturers attach differently. Use adapter # BX88178. Or the other option is to use Blue Ox base plates, # BX1636 to match the Aladdin tow bar. Since you already have the Aladdin tow bar which comes with safety cables, you should not need to add any. But if you do you can use # RM-643. You will also need a lighting solution and supplemental braking. For lighting...

  • Are the Roadmaster Quick Disconnects # RM-201 Necessary for the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar # RM-201
  • If you want to easily hookup and disconnect the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar, # RM-020, from Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 1012-1, then I strongly recommend using the quick disconnects. This is the easiest method of hooking up and an disconnecting. It would seem easy enough to remove the pins holding the base plate draw bars or removing the pins for the tow bar arms, but those are points that will be subject to binding. After towing, it will not be very easy to remove either of those...

  • Parts Needed to Wire Lights on a 1999 Chevy Tracker for Towing Behind a Motorhome
  • You can use a kit, like RoadMaster Part # RM-154, to wire your 1999 Chevy Tracker. With an amber turn signal vehicle, you can skip those bulbs and use the brake bulbs for both brake and turn functions. Essentially you ignore that the amber turn signals are there and wire the vehicle like you would a trailer. The amber turn signals will still function when you drive the Tracker, but not when it is towed. The second wiring diagram on the RM-154 page shows how you would wire your set up. I...

  • Is a Base Plate Kit Available Without the Removable Arms for a 2001 Chevrolet Tracker
  • All of the base plate kits we sell come with the removable arms. Base plate kits are made with a specific set of removable arms at the factory, so no set of arms is completely identical. The frame bracket mounts of the base plate kits are not available separately from the removable arms. With that being said, the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 1012-1, is compatible with your 2001 Chevrolet Tracker and it will come with a set of removable arms that were designed to fit that kit. Keep...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Chevy Tracker Behind an RV
  • Base plates of one manufacturer can often be used with a tow bar from another manufacturer but you need adapters to do it. I recommend getting both the base plates and tow bar from the same manufacturer to avoid the adapters altogether. I recommend the Demco base plates # DM9518079 for you with a Demco tow bar like the Commander II # DM9511012. In addition to the base plates and compatible tow bar you will also need safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking when flat towing the...
