  • Adapting Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar to Demco Base Plates on 2007 Saturn Vue
  • You'll need a new base plate, I'm sorry to say. There's not an adapter available that would allow your Demco base plates to work with the Alpha tow bar.

If you don't already have a wiring option, I'd also recommend the Roadmaster # RM-155, which involves installing a separate bulb in the taillight assembly of the Vue. Most states require a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. I've linked you to some articles about...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a 2,200 lb GVWR Trailer with a 2009 Saturn Vue
  • Whenever you need specifications on your vehicle, especially when it comes to weight capacity, the best place to go is straight to the owner's manual.

If you have the 3.5L or 3.6L engine then your max trailer weight is 3,500 lbs. Since the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of your River Rockwood Freedom 1640 looks to be...

  • Can a 2008 Saturn Vue be Flat Towed and What Parts are Needed to do so
  • Whenever you hear conflicting stories about flat towing a vehicle it is always best to turn to the owner's manual as the manufacturer (in your case GM) will have the final say. I looked up an online version of the owner's manual for your 2008 Saturn Vue and it says on page 4-42 that both FWD and AWD can be flat towed. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this (it will be under Recreational or Dinghy Towing). For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base...

  • Is Transmission Cooler Needed for 2006 Saturn Vue Doing Light Duty Towing
  • For short distance very light towing in moderate temperatures you probably do not have to install a cooler for your transmission. That said, additional cooling of your transmission fluid over and above what is provided by the OEM cooler is never a bad idea. At the very least you'll want to make sure you've had your transmission serviced at the recommended intervals to ensure its fluid is clean and at the correct level. That may very well be enough for your light-duty application. Your...

  • To flat tow your 2005 Saturn Vue you'll need a tow bar, base plates, wiring, and likely a high-low adapter.

This will provide you with the 7-way that connects to your 4-way and has the wiring for running power to the 7-way charge line. The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 works differently from other brake controllers. It is powered by the charge line on the 7-way circuit. It uses the input from...
