  • Roof Cargo Bag, Trailer Hitch, and Cargo Carrier for a 2005 Cadillac CTS
  • Rightline Sport 3 XL cargo bag # RL100S30 is a great option for your 2005 Cadillac CTS. The width on this bag is 40 inches which is less than the width of the roof of your CTS (the overall width of the vehicle is about 70 inches, the roof will be less). Since you have a naked roof I recommend a couple of accessories to go with this bag. First, car clips # RL100600 will allow you to mount the bag to the roof without having to run straps through the interior of the vehicle; definitely a...

  • Recommendations for Carrying Bikes With 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon
  • Due to the fact that there isn't a hitch available for the V version of the CTS wagon, your best bet for carrying bikes with your 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon would be to use a trunk mounted bike rack, like the Yakima HangOut 2-bike rack, part # Y02637. If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # UB01. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides...

  • Performance Chip Recommendation for Increased Fuel Mileage from a 2005 Cadillac CTS
  • The Edge Insight CTS2 # EP84130 is a monitor and can only display data. These monitors are not able to adjust or tune your engine. This monitor will allow you to keep a close watch on your vital engine data with the easy-to-read display. It also has a Driving Coach that will give you a good indication of how your driving habits affect your fuel economy and overall engine performance and will allow you to fine tune your personal habits for the best fuel economy.

  • Trailer Hitch and Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe
  • There is no modification required on the vehicle to install Curt trailer hitch # C11196 on your 2012 Cadillac CTS coupe. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. Adding a supplemental transmission cooler is always a good idea because a cooler transmission lasts longer. A popular cooler for this vehicle is # D13503. I also recommend fitting # D13035 to avoid having to cut and flare metal transmission lines.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Cadillac CTS Sedan With Removable Ball Mount
  • It sounds like you want a trailer hitch with a ball mount and hitch ball that can be removed. There are trailer hitches available for your 2011 Cadillac CTS Sedan that will allow you to use a 2 inch ball on a removable ball mount. The trailer hitch that I would recommend for you is the Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch, # 24767. You would only need to add the ball mount and hitch ball. For a 2 inch hitch ball, use part # 19258. If you want a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, use part # 19256. Keep...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2004 Cadillac CTS
  • The Roadmaster MX Base Plate kit part # 3128-3 is a confirmed fit for your 2004 Cadillac CTS so it would be the correct kit to use. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control...

  • Recommended Tow Dolly for 2006 Cadillac CTS-V Models
  • I reached out to my contact at RoadMaster and they said they have confirmed a fit for the CTS but the CTS-V and the Sport Package models are not a fit for drivability issues as well as trim interference. According to the 2006 Cadillac CTS and CTS-V owners manual, you should not flat tow this vehicle. I've attached the owners manual pages to show this. I recommend using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1 . You will also need the Pollak Black Plastic,...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Cadillac CTS to Tow Sea Doo
  • Your 2015 Cadillac CTS has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs so as long as the weight of Seadoo and trailer is less than that you'd be perfectly fine. The Curt hitch you are considering # C11900 is a great option as it's a confirmed fit that is mostly hidden and has plenty of towing capacity. Then for trailer wiring the # C56207 is also a fit and would work well. You'll also need the ball mount part # C45521 with hitch balls # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.

This rack is one of the nicest trunk racks out there and has a great price as well so it's the best route. You also need the part # SA3035 to replace the top hooks. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2009 Cadillac CTS
  • One of our most popular trunk mount bike rack would be the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV for a 2 bike model or # TH56BV for a 3 bike model. What makes these racks so good is how quick and simple they are to install. Instead of 6 straps and buckles you need to adjust and fumble around with, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps. The rack also features the OneKey system to secure the rack and to secure the bikes to the rack. Before installing the rack, you'll want to make sure the...

  • Will Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier Fit 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan
  • The Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL referenced in your question is indeed a confirmed fit for your 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan. The only installation note from Saris is that the lower feet of the rack will need to be placed on the bumper. This is a really nice trunk-mount carrier that features ratcheting anti-sway straps to secure and stabilize your bikes. Its articulated rubber feet and vinyl-coated hooks are also designed to prevent any scratches on the vehicle's finish. It can handle...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2016 Cadillac CTS and 2 Bikes
  • For your 2016 Cadillac CTS we have Class I trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers that would work well to carry 2 bikes. I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11900. The installation will be a bit different if your Cadillac is the CTS-V model, but it will still use this same hitch. For a bike carrier that is compatible with the Class I trailer hitch I recommend the Swagman Trailhead, # S63360. It holds 2 bikes, can tilt down, and has a rise in the shank for additional ground clearance....

  • Recommended Roof Bike Rack Compatible with Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack
  • There are many options of Bike Racks compatible with your Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack, # Y02-490B. I would recommend the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount, # Y02103. This mount holds your bike in place by the tires, but shouldn't interfere with your pegs. This is also a nice option with lockable cores # Y07202. I've attached some review videos of these racks for you.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 Cadillac CTS
  • When it comes to picking out a transmission cooler for a vehicle there is not a list of confirmed coolers that will fit different vehicles. The best way to pick one out is to measure the area in front of your radiator and pick a cooler that will fit in that area. If you have the room I think a Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13502 should work well to cool the transmission fluid of your 2003 Cadillac CTS. The measurements of this cooler are 11 inches wide, 7-1/4...
