Helpful Expert Reply:
I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2019 Chevy Blazer and on page 335 of the online manual it states "These vehicles may be dinghy towed from the front" so yes you can flat tow this vehicle! I do recommend checking out your copy of the manual which has some steps you'll need to follow to safely tow the car.
In order to do this there are a number of parts, which I'll list for you:
- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1735
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect # RM-766
- Supplemental Braking System: SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
OR
- If your motor home has air brakes: SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243
You may also need a high-low adapter in order to keep your '19 Blazer level, and I've added a link to a help article which shows you how to determine if you need an adapter as well as a link to our selection of adapters. Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at.

The answer to the question is no. The 2019 Blazer can NOT be towed 4 wheels down behind a motorhome. Kyle S, your expert, answered yes, that it can be flat-towed, but that is not what the owner's manual says. It can be DINGHY towed, which is much different than flat-towing. Be more careful when giving people advice on things of this nature- they may buy a vehicle on this information and then find out that they need to spend a lot more money when they learn that the vehicle isn't towable in the manner that you said it was.
