Tow Bar Recommendation to Flat Tow a 2011 GMC Terrain with a Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
Question:
I have ordered the 523163-1 base for my 2011 GMC Terrain and I want to order the Sterling 576 towbar , do I need anything else to make this work like brackets or anything. I want it to be easily detachable

Expert Reply:
The EZ style base plates you have ordered are compatible with the Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar, # RM-576, and nothing else is required to aid in ease of installation or removal. The tow bar comes with safety cables and a 6-pole connector. Both the towing and towed vehicles will need a RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector - Vehicle End, # RM-910030-7.
Finally, you will need to check with the manufacturer for instructions on the proper procedure for towing your vehicle because some vehicles must be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect, or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed.
