Base Plates for 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500
Question:
I bought the Blue Ox Tow Bar along with the wiring equipment and safety chains. I have not bought the base plates yet for my 2016 Chevy Silverado but I plan to. I believe I will need to drop down the distance on my Class C Rv a couple inches to make level. This one appears that the 3 way ball can be removed and then I will just insert the tow bar end that would go into the receiver on the Class C hitch. Would that work or would there be too much play?

Expert Reply:
No, a ball mount will not work as a way to flat tow your 2016 Chevy Silverado, you will need to add base plates to your truck and then use a high/low adapter. I've linked the page below to your options to assist.
