Thanks for reaching out - I'd be more than happy to help out!

For a complete flat towing setup on your 2017 Chevy Spark you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Here are the parts I recommend for your application:

Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - # RM-523185-4
etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - # e44ZR (comes with safety cables)
Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit - # RM26FR
Brake Kit - Part # DM86VR motorhome hydraulic brakes or Part # DM26VR motorhome air brakes
High-Low Adapter - See linked article (bar mount height is 18")

Please note that GM has a technical bulletin for the 2017-2018 Spark with a Manual Transmission that you'll want to reference to make sure you get everything set up correctly.

I've attached some videos for you to check out as well. Let me know if you have any other questions!
