Which Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar to Use When Flat Towing 2016 Chevy Colorado

Question:

I am researching the items needed to flat tow my 2016 Colorado Z71 without adaptive cruise control. So far I have come up with the following parts RM 523182-5 Base plate, RM 522 Tow bar, RM 643 Safety cables, RM 15267 Diode wire kit, RM 055-3 Cover, and the BRK 2016 Patriot II brake sys. Questions: Would the RM 520 Tow bar and RM 523182-4 base plate work just as well? What should I use as a battery disconnect switch and what would be the best way to power the Patriot II? Is there anything else I may need? Thanks for your help.

The # RM-520 will work very well instead of the all terrain Falcon # RM-522 but it really depends on where you plan to flat tow. If you find yourself in situations where you can't be lined up straight with the toad or the ground isn't level (which is almost all camp grounds) then it is absolutely worth it to go with the Falcon All-Terrain.

If you are rarely off of paved roads where you have plenty of space then the Falcon 2 will work great. But in an effort to plan ahead for all possible outcomes the Falcon All-Terrain is the better choice.

For a battery disconnect you would want the part # RM-766 and then for an outlet kit you would want the part # RM-9332. This will draw power directly from the vehicle battery.
