Expert Reply:
Yes, you can absolutely flat tow your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4.
You're going to need a base plate kit, like the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-3176-3,
-A set of tow bars, like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676,
-A braking system, like the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251,
-A wiring kit, like the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154,
&
-A quick disconnect kit, like the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System # RM-766.
