  • K-Source Towing Mirrors for a 2018 Cadillac Escalade
  • We do have a universal fit towing mirror from K-Source. It's part # KS3891. I've seen some feedback that these have worked for the 2018 Cadillac Escalade and they fit perfectly. They're designed to work with factory side mirrors that are between 4-1/2"-11-1/2" tall and have a lip alongside the mirror face. I've linked to a video review of this mirror for you to look at.

  • Best Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Cadillac Escalade
  • The brake controller I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac Escalade is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR because this brake controller senses the amount of braking you are applying on your vehicle and applies a proportional amount on the trailer brakes. It also has a very small knob that gets mounted basically anywhere you want on your dash or console. I attached a picture of what it will look like installed. To install it all you need is the custom fit install...

  • Recommended Ball Mount Compatible With 1998 Cadillac DeVille
  • Based on the confirmed fit trailer hitch receivers we have for your 1998 Cadillac DeVille, I assume you have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Because of how far back this sits from the bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 3-1/8" Rise - 11-3/4" Long - 3,500 lbs # 36063. With this ball mount you can use # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball or # 19257 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2008 Cadillac Escalade Towing Horse Trailer
  • I would recommend air bags like the Firestone kit part # F4186 that fits your 2008 Cadillac Escalade with autoride suspensions over Timbrens as the Timbren kits have a reputation of being kind of harsh when unloaded which is not something anyone would want from an Escalade. The air bags allow you to air them up when you need the additional support and deflate them easily when not needed so that your ride isn't affected.

  • Hitch and E-Bike Rack Solution for 2017 Cadillac XT5
  • For your 2017 Cadillac XT5 you'd need a hitch installed first like the Curt # C13285 so that you could carry an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the weight capacity needed but what I also really like about this rack is that it has a ramp that pulls out to make loading the heavier e-bikes a bit easier.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Cadillac SRX
  • The nicest trunk mounted bike rack we offer that has been confirmed to fit your 2013 Cadillac SRX is the Thule OutWay part # TH45Jv. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2018 Cadillac XT5 To Use Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier
  • In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist part # TH898 on a 2018 Cadillac XT5 I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA118B-2, part # RRRCL4, part # RR32SV. This is an aero bar system that will provide you with the required overhang you need for the Hullavator. I also like Rhino-Rack a lot as they are much more affordable than some of the other top tier options but you don't miss any features, they in fact come with locks whereas these...

  • Adapter Recommendation to Allow an RV to Flat Tow a Vehicle and Carry Bike Rack
  • You will need two components to be able to flat tow your vehicle and carry a bike rack. A dual hitch adapter like part # RM-077-4 and an RV approved bike rack like the # S94FR. The dual hitch adapter will allow the bike rack to sit above the tow bar so that you can carry the bikes without interfering with the tow bar function. Not all bike racks are designed to handle the rougher ride conditions at the back of an RV or trailer so that is why it is important to pick one that has been designed...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Cadillac SRX
  • We know that the tow package 4-way kit part # 118259 is the correct fit for your 2015 Cadillac SRX as regardless your vehicle has the correct wiring present. I attached an install video for this on a similar SRX as well. This would work great with the Draw Tite part # 75682 that fits your vehicle as well that you mentioned. This hitch has an easier install and great towing capacities so it's a great choice.

  • We can help you with selecting a 2-inch Class III hitch for your 2017 Cadillac XT5. We offer options from Curt and etrailer that you can see on the linked page.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Cadillac SRX
  • We do have the components needed to flat tow your 2014 Cadillac SRX with a tow vehicle that has a trailer hitch at the rear of it. You'd need to start with a base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # RM-523162-4 which is a confirmed fit. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which...

  • Bike Rack Options for the Back of a Motorhome that is Flat Towing a Vehicle
  • Do you have a ladder rack at the back of your motorhome? If so, you could use a Ladder Bike Rack part # LA-102. If you have a 4 inch bumper that is continuously welded you could use a bumper mounted bike rack like part # S80501. Using a dual hitch adapter wouldn't be ideal since you are currently using an 8 inch drop adapter and none of the dual hitch adapters have that much drop.

  • 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,...
