Expert Reply:
The base plates you mentioned, part # 3154-1, is designed to fit your 2008 GMC Yukon if it is not a Denali. These are removable drawbars and are virtually invisible when you are not towing your Yukon and are removed.
The Roadmaster StowMaster Car-Mounted Tow Bar, part # RM-501 would work well with the 3154-1 base plates on your Yukon. This tow bar has telescoping arms that makes it easy to hook up.
I have attached some helpful articles that explain flat-towing and what is required you can check out.
Some of the other items I recommend are safety cables, lighting for the Yukon, and most states now require a supplemental brake system.
For safety cables I recommend part # RM-643.
For lighting I recommend the Roadmaster Magnetic Tow Lights, part # RM-2120. I attached an install video so you can see how easy they are to use.
Most states now require a supplemental brake system, so I recommend part # RM-9400. This is a proportional brake system that does not require cutting or splicing into the towed vehicle.
If you have a Denali, let me know and I can make some recommendations for a system that will work for you.
