We have a 2014 Sunseeker 3050. Can we flat tow a GMC Terrain and what experience has anyone had with this suv ? Thanks

Consult the owner's manual for the Terrain above what anyone on here tells you

Check "Dingy towing Guide by Motorhome mag. Terrain is nearly 4000 lbs. and is flat towable.

I too have a 2014 3050s. I flat tow a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox which is the same as the Terrain. It tows beautifully. Hardly know it is there. Let me know if you have more questions.

The owners manual on the Terrain says that you can. I believe it says pull one fuse.

Yup you have to pull a 5amp fuse. I had to install a dedicated power outlet for my brake buddy because the one in front is only powered when the ignition is on. Tried an extension cord from the rear outlet but that incured too much of a voltage drop.

We pick up our new Terrain today--did you install a switch on that 5 amp fuse instead of pulling it each time. That's what I have on the Cobolt that I pull now.

I ordered a base plate, wiring kit (tail lights)-and a switch for the fuse from Blue Ox today for our Terrain. $518 for all parts.

I will use the tow bar that I already own.
