Flat towing 2005 Chevy Tahoe

Thank You All very much!!
All of your responses have been very helpful and greatly appreciated.
I can see joining this forum is the beginning of something Really Good :)

Try Chevy and Duramax forums.

Your Tahoe should be flat towable if the transfer case (the 2WD/4WD switching device) has a neutral position. Look in your owners manual and it should have the information for putting the transfer case into neutral. As I recall it involves pressing and holding two of the buttons at the same time. Most of the GM 4WD transfer cases have a neutral position, but not all, so you need to check yours.

Yes, your Tahoe can be flat towed, without any modification to the drive train. On the left side you have the 4wd control. There is a line there that shows you which 2 buttons to hold in simultaneously for 10± seconds and then it will shift into N and the red N light will illuminate. Once the transfer case is in N, place the transmission in P and release the E brake. You are now ready to tow.

You can buy used base plates and tow bars on either eBay, craigslist, or etrailer.com, for a reasonable price.

Do you have an owners manual with the Chevy? Should be able to find that information there, if not, you might want to post on the "Dinghy Forum"... It's a forum on this site for people who are towing a vehicle behind their rv.

Worse case, could call a Chevy dealer, ask for the service dept and they should be able to answer the question for you...
