Expert Answers about Chevrolet Tahoe


  • Alternative for Motorized Running Boards on a 2011 Chevy Tahoe
  • I am sorry but I checked with Aries and they did not start making motorized step bars that fit Tahoe's until 2021. The Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards item # AA3025183 will not fit. I checked with our vendors and we do not have another brand that offers motorized steps. The best alternative, I can offer, is the Westin Molded Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit item # 27-0010-1645 which are similar in appearance but in no way function the same way.

  • I have a great system for you and it will really work well with your new travel trailer. It is the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System item # BXW1000. This system will be perfect for your needs. It has a 10,000 lbs towing capacity and a 1,000 lbs maximum tongue weight. The shank has a 8" rise and a 2" drop to ensure your trailer is as level as possible with your Escalade. The Blue Ox SwayPro has clamp on brackets so you will not have to drill into your new trailer to install the...

  • Best Front Hitch Ground Clearance for 2017 Chevy Tahoe
  • As far as ground clearance goes for your 2017 Chevy Tahoe you will want to use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31073 over the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65064 because the instructions call for you to cut the front fascia whereas the Draw-Tite instructions sort of hint that you may not need to. This means the Curt sits up 1.5 inches taller.

  • Malone Roof Rack for 2004 Chevy Tahoe for Rooftop Tent
  • A Smittybilt XL tent weighs about 150-lbs without add-ons, so it is within the 165-lb weight capacity of the Malone Roof Rack # MPG216. This rack's 58-inch AirFlow2 load bars are longer than many others and will spread the load across a wider area. I linked our main page for camping accessories in case you need other items such as camping chairs # 3697910BS, an adjustable folding table like # CAM51893 or an outdoor mat like # FR46341 that will keep the tent interior clean. It would be...

  • Hitch Ball Diameter Compatible With Curt Pintle Hook With 2 Inch Hitch Ball # C48190
  • If by the ball hole size of the Curt Pintle Hook with 2inch Hitch Ball # C48190 you mean the compatible diameter of the hitch ball shank, it is 1-1/4 inches. You can change out the hitch ball size as needed as long as you keep this shank diameter so you can use # C48830 for a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball and # C48810 for A 1-7/8 inch option. This is compatible with lunette ring couplers with diameter of 2-1/2 or 3 inches.

  • Towing Capacity of 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • A vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR, is the maximum weight the vehicle can weigh when it's fully loaded, not including a trailer. Basically, you should never put enough stuff inside the Tahoe (including people, gas, and everything else) to make it weigh more than 7,100 pounds. You may also see your GCWR, or gross combined weight rating. This is the total amount of weight the Tahoe can move, including if it's loaded to 7,100 plus the maximum weight of a trailer it can pull. Check...

  • What is the Factory Roof Rack Weight Capacity on a 2014 Chevy Tahoe
  • I checked 2 different sources for the factory roof rack capacity of your 2014 Chevy Tahoe. One said 150 pounds and the other said 164 pounds. I prefer to err on the side of caution so I recommend sticking to 150 pounds. There also might be a sticker on the roof rack itself that lists the capacity. The SkyBox # Y95AV weighs 48 pounds that that leaves 104 pounds of cargo that you could put in the box. I have linked a video of the larger SkyBox just to show the features of the SkyBox line...

  • Can Main Harness of Aero Pro LED Trailer Light Kit be Extended Longer
  • The 4-way wiring harness that comes with the # TL16RK is 25 feet in length and while we don't have a version that comes with a longer harness you could pretty easily extend this 4 more feet with the # HM47114.

  • Will 2002 Chevy Tahoe or 2005 Chevy Suburban be Able to Tow a 6,000 lb GVWR Trailer
  • If the max trailer towing capacities of the 2002 Chevy Tahoe and 2005 Chevy Suburban are 8,700 lbs and 8,100 lbs then they should be able to handle a trailer with a GVWR of 6,000 lbs although you would benefit from a weight distribution (WD) system like the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66559 as well as a transmission cooler. If you don't already have a brake controller then I highly recommend using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR because it is the only brake controller on the market that features...

  • Will the Diamond Tread Fleetside Replacement Rear Bumper Fit My 1999 Chevy Tahoe?
  • I have an answer to your questions. As far as the first question, I confirmed with Westin that the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper with Custom Installation Kit # 20008-92230 will not fit your 1999 Chevy Tahoe. I also confirmed that the Diamonstep Rear Bumper would not fit a 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 and a 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500. Generally, manufacturers have to change minute details of the mounting brackets and hardware to fit specific years/makes/models of vehicles. However, the...

  • Front Hitch, Motorcycle Carrier and Front-End Suspension Support Kit for 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • Transporting a dirt bike on a front-hitch-mounted motorcycle carrier is a good option when you also need to tow a trailer. The key is making sure the hitch and carrier both are rated appropriately for the load. Both front-mount hitches we have for your 2017 Tahoe, Draw-Tite # 65064 and Curt # C31073, share a 500-lb vertical load rating (same as tongue weight). This means that the combined weight of the bike and carrier must remain within this hitch capacity. You can see all hitch motorcycle...

  • Will the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution System BLU82XR Work for 700 lb Tongue Weight
  • Yes, when the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 6-Hole Shank - 10K GTW, 800 TW # BLU82XR gives a range of 600-800 pounds of tongue weight, you will be good to go if you have 700 pounds of tongue weight. Since your total tongue weight of your setup falls into the middle of the Blue Ox's range, this is an ideal system for you.

  • Can the Swagman Platform-Style Bike Carrier # S64663 Hold a 26 Inch or a 29 Inch Bike Wheel
  • The Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, # S64663, will handle most 26 inch and 29 inch bike wheels. To verify if this bike rack will hold your bikes, I recommend measuring the wheel base of your bikes. The wheel base is measured from axle to axle on the bike. This bike rack can handle wheel bases up to 52 inches long. It also has a weight capacity of 40 lbs per bike and the wheel loops will fit wheels up to 3-1/2 inches wide. I have attached the installation instructions for you to...

  • How Long is the Wiring Harness for a Brake Controller on a 2005 Chevy Tahoe
  • The harness you would need for a 2005 Chevy Tahoe is # 3015-P which is approximately 32 inches long. This should be more than enough to reach from the port under the dash to where you have the brake controller mounted. I have included some installation links that might help.

  • Drop Dimensions of the Lippert 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver 240220
  • I went out to our warehouse and took some useful measurements of the Lippert 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # LC240220 for you. The side brackets on the hitch are 8" long x 4" wide. The distance from the bottom edge of the bracket to the top of the receiver tube collar is right at 2-3/4". Therefore in order to make above hitch work for you, you would need to trim the bottom of the bracket about 1/4".
