Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Van  

Question:

Expert Reply:

According to my research, your 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Van can be flat-towed with all four wheels down but you will need to use a lube pump on the transmission to do so which we currently do not offer. I recommend confirming this with your copy of the owner's manual as that will have the final say so.

In order to flat-tow this vehicle after you acquire the lube pump you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high low adapter. I understand this is an older vehicle so I have attached some recommendations for you below which are cost effective.

Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit part # 191-1

Tow Bar: Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar part # RM-020

Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # RM-643

Flat-Tow Wiring Harness: Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights part # C6304

Supplemental Braking System: SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO part # SM99251

High-Low Adapter: See Article

I have attached several review and install videos for you as well. Please let me know if you have any questions.
