Since your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has a transfer case that would indicate that it is 4WD and it can be flat towed.

To flat tow your vehicle, you're going to need to do the following:

1. Position the vehicle being towed behind
the tow vehicle, facing forward and on a
level surface.

2. Securely attach the vehicle being towed
to the tow vehicle.

3. Apply the parking brake and start the
engine.

4. Shift the transfer case to N (Neutral).

5. With the engine running, release the
parking brake and verify that the
transfer case is in N (Neutral) by shifting
the transmission to D (Drive) and then to
R (Reverse). There should be no
movement while shifting the
transmission.

6. Shift the transmission to D (Drive).

7. If equipped with an ignition key, turn
the ignition to ACC/ACCESSORY.
If equipped with Keyless Access, turn the
engine off. Disregard the shift to park.

As far as equipment needed goes, you're going to need:

1. A base plate kit # RM-523199-5,

2. A set of tow bars # RM-676,

3. A braking system # BLU37TR,

4. A 12V outlet kit # RM-9332,

5. A battery disconnect kit # RM-766,

&

6. A wiring harness # RM-154.
