According to the owner's manual for your 2020 Chevrolet Traverse, you are able to flat tow it.
This is the reason the Blue Ox Base Plates, part # BX1734 and # BX1738, is compatible with your vehicle.
If you're looking to flat-tow, you should know their are additional components needed. Your Blue Ox base plate is compatible with the Avail Tow Bar, part # BX7420. This has a weight rating of 10,000 pounds and has the safety chains included.
You'll need wiring for your Traverse. I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154. It will hook up to your RV's 4-pole and power your Traverse's lights.
You'll also need a brake system. I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. It's proportional and one of our most popular systems.
I've linked to video reviews of each of these.
