There is a wiring kit that will allow you to flat tow your 2021 Chevy Trailblazer RS, and what you will need is a kit from Roadmaster that is compatible with your vehicle's lights:

- Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage Incandescent Tail Lights # RM26FR

This is needed to ensure the taillights on your '21 TrailerBlazer don't look like the brakes are always on; since your taillights that use the same wire to power the brake lights and taillights, this kit will ensure the proper lower voltage (9 volts) will activate the taillights and the full 12 volts will go to the brake lights.

Along with this you will also need a number of other parts to flat tow your TrailerBlazer RS:

- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM46VR

- Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522

- Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645

- Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766

- Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700

- Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM62FR

This would make up the complete flat towing package for your 2021 TrailerBlazer RS, and I have added links below to some video reviews and instructions for you to check out as well.
