Can you flat tow a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer?

I’m in the market for a new SUV. After test-driving a few options, a used 2021 Chevy Trailblazer seems like a great fit. However, I want to tow it behind my RV without buying a ton of extra equipment. Will I be able to flat tow a 2021 Trailblazer?

You might be able to flat tow a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer—it depends on which drivetrain you have. If you have a Trailblazer with all-wheel drive (AWD), you’re good to go. But if you have a front-wheel-drive Trailblazer, you can only tow it with a flatbed trailer.
Hopefully, you have the AWD version of the Trailblazer, and you won’t have any issues. If that’s the case, follow these steps to successfully flat tow your SUV:
  1. Position the Trailblazer and secure it to the tow vehicle.
  2. Apply the parking brake.
  3. Put the vehicle into ACC mode by pressing the push-button start one time without the brake pedal depressed.
  4. Shift the car into neutral. You should hear a chime ring continuously for 30 seconds if done correctly.
  5. Leave the car in neutral and release the parking brake.
  6. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery terminal.
  7. Cover the negative battery post with a non-conductive material, such as a rag.
If you flat tow regularly, having great car insurance that covers your RV and SUV is essential. Get excellent coverage while also lowering your
