Expert Reply:
No, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523198-5 will not interfere the Adaptive Ride Control System on your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. The # RM-523198-5 the removable drawbars that make it very convenient to use.
If you need a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K # RM-422. I recommend the BlackHawk 2 because it has the telescopic inner arms that make hookup quick and easy.
You will need a braking system and I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR. I recommend the Blue Ox because it is a portable system that moves easily from one vehicle to another.
Other products you will need to complete your flat tow package:
Safety cables - Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables - 10,000 lbs - Qty 2 # BX88197
Tow Bar Wiring - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
You may also need a high-low adapter, like the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 4" Rise/Drop - 10K GTW, 400 lbs TW # RM-048-4. Your will need to be within 3" of level to be in the "Safe Zone" for towing your Sierra. I have attached a link to tell you to determine the correct high-low adapter you need.
Lastly, you will need to consult your owner's manual for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 to check for any restrictions or steps they recommend for flat-towing.
