We can get your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD High Country set up to flat tow, and I'll go ahead and make a list of all the parts you'll need in order to do so:

- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU54VR

- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380

- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit # RM-152-1676-7

- Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect # RM-766

- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit # DM66VR

- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

The Blue Ox base plates have removable tabs, so they'll help your Silverado maintain its look when you aren't flat towing it. The Alpha 2 tow bar is compatible with these base plates, and has long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing. It also has a 6,500 lb capacity which is more than enough for the weight of your truck, and comes with safety cables so you don't have to make an added purchase of those.

I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your Silverado's electrical system safe. The automatic battery disconnect is going to make disconnecting your truck's battery much simpler, with just the press of a button inside your cab.

As for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is by far the best option, and the reason for that is it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your Chevy is going to get the same amount of braking power. This results in much smoother braking than most systems which send out a pre-set amount of braking power, giving you a more comfortable and easier-to-control ride when flat towing.
