Parts Recommendation to Flat Tow a 2014 4x4 Silverado 1500  

Question:

I have a RM 3154-1 base plate system on my 2010 Silverado 150 4x4.. Can I use the same base plate on 2014 Silverado 1500 4x4

Expert Reply:

Because they changed the 1500 Silverado in 2014 you will need a different base plate kit. For that you would want the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # RM-3176-1.

In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Even Brake proportional system, # RM-9400, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the two vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
