Expert Answers about GMC Acadia
- Availability of Cushioned Multipurpose Ball Mount
- It sounds like you are looking for a multipurpose ball mount like part # D210, which offers a 2-1/4 inch drop. If you were needing a ballmount with a drop, the D210 would place your trailer coupler about 7/8 inches above level, which would be perfectly acceptable. The D210 is not cushioned, we do not offer a cushioned multipurpose ball mount.

- You will need to follow the instructions of the owner's manual to properly flat tow your 2011 GMC Acadia without damaging it. I took a look for myself and it does say to run it at the start of the day and at each RV fuel stop, and the fuses do need to be re-installed when you do this. Removing the fuses will ensure the battery does not drain and there is unfortunately no way around this. While you are welcome to try leaving the fuses in, there is a much better option.

- You need to splice into your Acadia's wiring to allow you to flat to it. I recommend using part # RM-154. Unfortunately, the install process is more detailed and not as easy as a plug in option but once it's installed you'll be good to go. If you prefer you could go with a magnetic light kit, like part # TL21RK, to avoid splicing. The downside to the magnetic kits if you need to set them up everytime you tow.
The Acadia is known to drain the battery while towing. To prevent this, you...

- Your 2012 GMC Acadia itself can be flat towed, but you'll need to check the tow weight rating of your Class C RV to make sure it can handle the weight of your vehicle. From what I'm seeing your Acadia can weigh from 4,656 to 4,857 lbs so your Class C needs to be able to tow at least 5,000 lbs.
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. If you do not have...

- The Roadmaster/Blue Ox adapters you referenced, parts # RM-031 and # RM-031-5, do not fit the Stowmaster tow bars. The Blue Ox base plates # BX1675 for your 2008 GMC Acadia are designed for use with motor home mounted tow bars and not car mounted tow bars like the Stowmaster.
Further, your 2008 Acadia may weigh too much to allow use of any tow bar adapters, which are only rated for use with vehicles up to 5000-lbs.
