Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2004 Chevy Cavalier
Question:
Can I mount this to a 2004 chevy cavalier
asked by: Kelso
Expert Reply:
Yes, as long as you have a Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 3116-1 then you could flat tow your 2004 Chevy Cavalier with a RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar # RM-020.
To complete your towing setup you may also need the following products:
Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnects # RM-201. These will allow you to quickly and easily attach and disconnect the tow bar from the base plate kit.
RoadMaster 68 inch Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643. These are coiled so that you can just wrap them around the arms of the tow bar.
There are several options for lighting, check out the FAQ article I attached on how to pick out the best setup based on the needs you have.
And finally, most states now require a supplemental braking system on the vehicle being towed. The easiest to install and use is the Roadmaster Even Brake portable proportional braking system, part # RM-9400. This unit activates the brakes on the vehicle being towed in proportion to how much the RV is braking. This is the safest type of braking action, and it reduces wear and tear on the RV and towed vehicle brakes.
You will also want to check the vehicle owners manual for additional information on flat towing the vehicle. Some vehicles require an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect, transmission lube pump, or free wheeling hubs in order to be flat towed.
