Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for Chevy Equinox
Question:
I need to make my Chevy Equinox ready to Flat Tow. I already have the Blue Ox Patriot Brake. Can you provide me a list of all of the remaining electrical components I need? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The only other electrical item you would need to flat tow your Equinox would be a lighting solution Eddie.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
