Flat Tow or Dolly Tow
Bought a 2017 Chevy Traverse and trying to decide if I will Flat tow or purchase a tow dolly as prices are almost the same. Help

Less than $1500, complete and all new? Can you elaborate a little on your individual parts and prices? This sounds way too good to be true. I'm assuming when you say complete that it includes base plate, tow bar, cables (chains), umbilical cable w/both 7/6 pin connectors, toad lights, breakaway device, and aux braking system (can be included in a ReadyBrute Elite tow bar).
I have a friend who needs to set up his new toad, and $1500 is a lot less than what we have been able to estimate.
Thanks,

The ReadyBrute Elte tow bar/auxilliary brake system including a ReadyStop breakaway, safety cables, and dash brake monitor costs about $1310. A Blue Ox base plate will run about $350, and the lighting setup/umbilical will run from around $50 to $100, depending on which wiring method is used. Even less using a couple of magnetic tow lights. The total $1710-$1760 price does not include shipping, taxes, or installation labor. Self installed, the whole 4-down package shouldn't exceed about $2000 at today's prices.
