For your 2006 GMC Envoy Denali you will need base plates # 3109-1. To attach your EazAligner 2000 tow bar you will need adapter # RM-038 and quick disconnects # RM-201.

If you do not already have safety cables you will need to add some, # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

For lighting you can use a simple magnetic kit such as # RM-2120. Or, for a more permanent solution I recommend the 6 diode kit # 154-792-118158.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. One of the preferred systems for our installers is the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO proportional system, # SM99251. It will apply the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
