Does Direct Connect Base Plate Kit for 2021 Chevy Equinox Require Crossbar

Question:

Hello I have a roadmaster falcon all terrain tow bar, but I do-not have the crossbar. Do I NEED the crossbar or can I still purchase a baseplate for 2021 Equinox and hook up to it without the crossbar? Also, if I chose a portable style in case I want to outfit my Chev 1500 also and move it as needed braking system like brake buddy or similar, would that be ok in an equinox? I only have the tow bar from a friend I would need to figure out everything else I need to flat tow this vehicle behind my motorhome thanks

If you went with the Direct Connect Roadmaster base plate kit for your 2021 Chevy Equinox with part # RM-523193-5 you would not need the crossbar that you are missing so this would be the easiest solution.

The temporary install braking kits like the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR will install and work great without issue.

For lighting the diode kit part # DM9523010-54 is a great choice that comes with everything needed to splice into your taillights.
