There are a number of parts needed in order to flat tow your 2020 GMC Canyon, and I'll list the recommended parts for you:
- Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519319
- Tow Bar: Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013
- Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- 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
The Demco Tabless Base Plates give your Canyon a clean look, and the Excali-Bar tow bar is the best option because it has long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing, along with integrated safety cables and an adjustable tilting head so a high-low adapter won't be needed. Having these features on a tow bar means you won't have to purchase them separately, saving you additional expenses.
The Flexo-Coil wiring kit is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your Canyon's electrical system safe, and both the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO and SMI Air Force One are strongly recommended because they are one-time installs which will never require any type of removal or reactivation, and give you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. This results in much smoother braking than most systems which send out a pre-set amount of braking power and thus are more rigid.
Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at.
