These are going to come into play in an unlikely disconnect. These will hold onto the vehicle so that you can come to a safe and slow stop. Adding a baseplate to the front of your GMC Sierra 1500 is going to allow you to flat tow it behind your motor home. more

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit Installation - 2016 GMC Sierra 1500

Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com, and today you're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit on our 2016 GMC Sierra 1500.Now, our Roadmaster Base Plate is going to allow us to hook up a tow bar, so we can safely and securely flat tow our Sierra down the road. Keep in mind this is only going to be one component for a complete safe flat-tow setup for your Sierra. For our Sierra, we're going to need a base plate, a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a braking system, and specifically for our GMC Sierra, I do recommend getting a better disconnect because it is going to make it easier rather than disconnecting the battery.What I really like about our base plate that it has a really clean appearance to it. It's going to go right where our tow hooks go, so you can see that we're not going to have to change too much to the front of our Sierra, and whenever we're not towing it, we actually have the option of removing the arm. We can remove the clip from the pin. Then we can pull out the pin and then the whole arm is going to come out giving a lot more of a clean appearance, almost just like the tow hook inaudible 00:01:04.The Roadmaster name Direct-Connect comes from the fact that our tow bar is going to hook directly to our base plate. more
