  • Will Thule OutWay Trunk Rack fit a 2010 Cadillac SRX
  • Yes, we checked with Thule and the OutWay part # TH56BV that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Cadillac SRX. The upper arm of the rack would rest below the spoiler and would not contact it. If you are concerned about the straps on your spoiler, then I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers # HRF2-3. I attached a review video for this bike rack for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed...

  • What is the Maximum Air Pressure for Air Lift 1,000 Pound Capacity Air Helper Springs
  • According to the instructions which I have linked for you for Air Lift suspension enhancement # AL60769, the maximum air pressure is 35 psi and the minimum is 5 psi. Over-inflation and under-inflation can damage the air bags so you will always want to stay within the 5 to 35 psi range.

  • Appropriate Size of Roof Bars for a 2013 Cadillac SRX
  • Malone tends to recommend their bars a little longer than normal, primarily because Malone deals a lot in watercraft carriers and they often require additional crossbar spread to use correctly and clear the sides. The 58 inch long Malone AirFlow2, part # MPG216 is sized the way it is so that it properly fits your roof rack spread. The installation instructions and recommended locations tend to put them well out of the way of anyone's heads while getting out of the vehicle. I've included...

  • Distance Between Cradles on Thule OutWay 2-Bike Trunk Mounted Rack # TH45JV
  • The distance from the bike center of the cradle to the center of the cradle on the older version of this rack, Thule Raceway PRO 2-Bike Trunk Mounted Rack, # TH9001PRO, is measured 6-1/2 inches. I have left a picture of this older model for you. The cradle system has changed on the latest model, the Thule OutWay 2-bike rack # TH45JV so the distance is not as precise. However, if you watch the video, you will see at the 4:37 mark that this model comes with a spacer that attaches to each...

  • How to Use the Curt Echo w/ a 2019 Cadillac XT5 w/ Factory Towing Package
  • Nope, not true at all. If your 2019 Cadillac XT5 came from the factory with a 7-way installed all you will need to do is plug in the Curt Echo item # C51180 and set it up. No additional wiring required. Some manufacturer's ship their vehicles without all the necessary towing fuses. GM is not one of them. If your power wire or ground wire isn't hooked up it's because someone removed them. I have linked an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get the...

  • Maximum Towing Capacity of 2011 Cadillac CTS with Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I looked at an online copy of the owner's manual for your 2011 Cadillac CTS and it states that your car can tow no more than 1,000 pounds. You should check your owner's manual to verify this. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11196 has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds however this will not increase the capacity of your Cadillac. You are limited by the lowest rated factor which in this case is the car. If you're going to use the hitch to carry anything other than a trailer...

  • Size of Tubing Used to Construct Curt Class III # C13002
  • The cross tube of the # C13002 Curt Class III Receiver hitch is constructed of rectangular tubing that is 2-1/2 by 1-1/2. Looking at the front face of the cross tube, the tubing would be 1-1/2 inches tall and 2-1/2 inches deep, so the # 18159 would work for you.

  • Do I Need a Charge Line When Flat Towing a 2016 Cadillac SRX?
  • I checked with Roadmaster and Blue Ox and neither recommended putting in a charge line like item # RM-156-25 when flat towing your 2016 Cadillac SRX. However, I took a look at your owner's manual and it says you have to keep your battery connected. This has been known to drain batteries so it wouldn't hurt to install a charge line if you run into a dead battery down the road or just want to be extra cautious. If you have any additional questions feel free to email me directly. To flat...

  • How Far Does the Draw-Tite Hitch Reciever # 24767 Extend Below the Bumper of a 2008 Cadillac CTS
  • The bottom of the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24767, will sit about 2-3/4 to 3 inches below the rear bumper on your vehicle. This dimension is a best guess for your vehicle because there is not a set dimension for the amount of extension below the bumper on your 2008 Cadillac CTS. Too many variables account for the final placement of the hitch receiver, such as the hitch itself, the vehicle frame and the vehicles rear bumper and fascia orientation on the vehicle. I based...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Cadillac XT4
  • Yes, it is! To add a 2" hitch to your 2024 Cadillac XT4, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C39FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Caddy with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing. I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like once installed. If you are planning on towing you will also need...

  • Reason Why BulletProof Hitches Ball Mount Measurements Differ From etrailer Measurements
  • You are correct, the BulletProof website lists different measurements for the # MD206. In fact, this is true for all of their ball mounts. The reason for this is the way they measure which doesn't follow the standard. Rise is the distance from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform when the ball mount is oriented for greater coupler height. Drop is the distance from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform when the ball mount is oriented for lower coupler height....

  • Towing Capacity Of 2017 Cadillac XT5 Luxury AWD And Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e62AR and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13285 for your 2017 Cadillac XT5 are rated for capacity based only on the hitch, not the vehicle. You will be limited by the vehicle capacity, and not the capacity of the hitch. In this case, using either hitch with that large a trailer weight would void your warranty on the vehicle, but not the individual hitches.

  • Selecting Weight Distribution System for Use with Trailer Towed by 2011 Cadillac Escalade
  • To ensure you can use a weight distribution hitch system on your 2011 Cadillac Escalade you'll just want to check the sticker on the vehicle's hitch. Look for a weight rating for weight distribution (or "WD") on the hitch's sticker. The hitch must be a 2-inch size that has a specific rating for use with WD systems. The real matching of the WD system relates to the trailer. The WD system needs to be selected based on the actual total tongue weight (TW) of the trailer when it is fully loaded....

  • Longest Available 1-1/4-Inch Class II to 2-Inch Class III Hitch Extension Adapter
  • The aftermarket hitch offered for your 2000 Cadillac Eldorado, the 1-1/4-inch Curt Class II hitch # C12068, has a total tongue weight (TW) capacity of 350-lbs. If you use any adapter you will lose half of this TW capacity because the actual weight load on the hitch will be further from the hitch tube. This greater distance translates into move leverage applied to the hitch tube and this is what causes the loss of capacity. Using any adapter means the hitch TW rating drops to 175-lbs. Hitch...

  • Can Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for a Cadillac SRX Tow a Car Trailer with 3,000 Pound Car on It
  • Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75682 has a gross trailer weight capacity of 4,000 pounds (5,000 when using weight distribution) and a tongue weight capacity of 400 pounds (500 with weight distribution). So this trailer hitch could handle your trailer as long as the combined weight of the trailer with the vehicle loaded on it does not exceed the hitch capacity. The other thing you will have to look at is the capacity of the vehicle. The hitch might be able to tow up to 5,000 pounds but if the...
