Some of the things I mentioned I haven't really found addressed in other places which is why I asked. Taillights for instance. The new vehicles seem to have more than their fair share of integrated sensors and wiring. I don't want to brick this electronic wonder just by installing the diodes in the taillights for running and brake lights which are controlled by the coach when plugged in. Gears, parking brake, transfer case are all electronic, or have some electronic controls and/or components. I've never had to disconnect the battery before to tow. Even the base plate which is seemingly a simple bolt on that goes where the tow hooks are now can be dangerously close to the in-bumper sensors for the park assist. So the question is more than just about the actual "towing". Nothing in the manual addresses the actual setup, wiring, auxiliary brake, etc. I've towed several vehicles over the years and this one is the most sophisticated electronically. Oh yeah, I have gone through both the paper manual as well as on line info. Joining and posting here is just another step along the way of getting this vehicle set up to tow.

Weight? It is my daily driver, but like I said we wanted to be able to put our golf cart in the bed when we want.

Thanks! Going to practice the procedure a few times.

I traded my 2011 Tahoe in last year for a 2022 Sierra 1500 LTD X-31. We were able to flat tow the Tahoe behind our motorhome without really doing anything to the vehicle itself, which we did for multiple trips and thousands of miles. Bought the Sierra primarily so we could put the golf cart in the bed on occasion. My question is has anyone set a new Sierra up to flat tow? The base plate is the easy part. Not sure about the rear light wiring. I had a diode setup with the Tahoe and it worked well. I just don't know if the Sierra lights are as simple as the Tahoe was. Next, GM says you have to disconnect the negative side of the battery. I figured I could just get a marine or some other type of switch to disconnect. The positive side terminal has a crazy connection, but the negative side has a weird terminal connection as well. Once the car power is disconnected I'll still have to have a dedicated 12v running from the battery to a cigarette lighter style connector in the cab to power the aux. brake. Lastly, (I think) I've only tried putting the transfer case into neutral once. My 03 Silverado, and the Tahoe were very simple. This thing involves the emergency brake and a sequence of button presses on the 4WD switching, dancing on one foot, tuning around, and an apparent sacrifice to the gods to get the Transfer case switched. Then a similar dance to get it back into gear when you're done. All in sequence as it needs to be done before disconnecting the battery. Oh yeah, I guess you have to use the little emergency key to lock and unlock the door since there's no power?? Thanks to anyone who has info and has done it. I'm hoping it's not as complicated as it seems to be.

I got this one to get it forward out of the sun glare. I was worried to have it extended all the way that it might pull off the windshield but so far it's working good.
