When flat towing a 2016 Chevy Equinox you just need to pull the number 16 fuse that is in the engine compartment. It used to be that you also pulled the 32 fuse that is in the cab but that was causing steering issues. The correct Roadmaster base plate needed to flat tow your 2016 Chevy Equinox would be the part # RM-523184-5.
