- 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...

- 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...

- 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.

- It sounds like you want a trailer hitch with a ball mount and hitch ball that can be removed.

- 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,...
view full answer... - 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.

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.

- 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....

view full answer... - Recommended Roof Bike Rack Compatible with Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack

I've attached some review videos of these racks for you.
view full answer... - 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...
