Recommended Complete Flat Tow System for a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with Golf Cart in Bed
Question:
I have a 2003 Winn Brave. I’d like to flat tow a 2014 Chevy 1500 4x4 Silverado that will be carrying an 48 volt electric golf cart. What would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
For your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with electric golf cart in bed, I recommend starting with the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518200 and then adding the Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013. This will have the safety cables included.
For your tow bar and vehicle wiring, I then recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766.
For your supplemental braking system I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251. This system only needs adjustment at installation and then becomes a plug and play system ready to go with a simple flip of a switch.
The tow bar has an integrated adapter but if you need more height for your truck you can use the attached article to determine what high-low adapter may be needed for safe towing.
