You are right, most of these lids do not last forever. Some offer slightly better protection, but the real challenge is finding a correct fit. The ones made with polycarbonate are slightly better.
In order to determine the correct roof vent, measure where the vent opens. The standard trailer roof vent opening is roughly 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" and have roof vents that measure 14" x 14".
To pick the correct cover, you will also need to know the type of hinge you need.
There is a 3 point hinge,... view full answer...
I'm happy to help with getting your 2012 GMC Acadia connected to your trailer. Let's start with the vehicle and work our way back. For your vehicle, I'd recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Contoller # 90195. This is a proportional brake controller for 1-4 axles, so it will work with the pressure you apply to the brakes in your Acadia and use that same braking force at the trailer. It has advanced diagnostics with a simple to understand LCD display.
If you have a factory... view full answer...
We have what you'd need to flat tow your 2012 GMC Acadia. The first thing you'll need is a base plate kit which for that you'd want Roadmaster Kit part # 523149-1 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 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the... view full answer...
In order to flat tow your 2019 GMC Acadia, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring solution, a supplemental braking system, a stop lamp switch kit and possibly a high/low hitch adapter if the height difference between the installed base plates and the receiver hitch on the motorhome is greater than 3 inches.
The parts I'm recommending offer the best balance between cost, reliability and ease of use. There are less expensive options available in each category, but the... view full answer...
For your tire size P255/55R20 there are no tire cables available, but for a set of chains that would provide you with excellent clearance the Thule K-Summit chains part # TH02230K77 have been confirmed as a fit.
These chains are great because they install easily, they require zero inner tire clearance and have a 5 year warranty. view full answer...
Transmission and oil coolers are not vehicle-specific; you can essentially install any one for which you have the space available to install it. When it comes to coolers bigger is better.
And if you want the best cooling even at lower speeds, such as when driving in mountainous areas, you might consider a remote-mount fan-powered cooler like the Derale Atomic Cool # D13950, an efficient plate-fin type cooler that will lower your transmission temperature even at low speeds since it does... view full answer...
The part # 9506P is a 20 amp circuit breaker which can be used in a brake controller install but I wouldn't typically refer to it as the "missing link" for installing a brake controller on a vehicle in most situations as it's just for circuit protection.
Basically any vehicle can have a brake controller installed on it. It's just a matter of either using a install harness for vehicles pre-wired or having to hardwire the controller in. In your case it sounds like we have to hardwire which... view full answer...
We do not offer a custom towing mirror for your 2015 Acadia but I do have a solution for you.
I recommend the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror, part # KS3891. This extra large mirror will fit most mirrors that are 4-1/2 to 11-1/2 inches tall. This simply clips to the edge of your mirror and has a ratcheting system that holds it secure to help reduce mirror vibration. view full answer...
I recommend using the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76023 on your 2023 GMC Acadia. This receiver fits behind the factory cutout in your rear bumper fascia hiding it when not needed.
You will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118276 along with a Mounting Bracket # PK12711U to attach to the tab welded on the receiver above. This will give you a 7-way connector which you can also use an Adapter # PK12716 to also connect to a trailer with 4-way flat connector. view full answer...
The Roadmaster # RM-4750 Tow Defender is the model to use with your Roadmaster All Terrain tow bar. I have included a link and insall video for you. view full answer...
For your 2016 GMC Acadia with little to no clearance, you will definitely want class S compatible chains. There are three different size tire options for a factory Acadia, so I'll give you the best recommendation for each size.
For 255/55-20 Tires, we currently do not have any Class S options.
For 255/60-19 Tires, I recommend the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair # PW2028C. This is the only Class S option we have for this size tire, and they are a decent tire chain. They are... view full answer...
I do have brake controller options for a 2019 GMC Acadia but there is not a plug under the dash like what you might be used to seeing. Therefore, a wireless brake controller for which I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 is the best option as it's the only one that would not require cutting and splicing. view full answer...
The part # BDW726663B that you referenced is actually just the two sections that mount on either side of the main upright portion of the grille guard part # BDW733663B.
Part # BDW733663B is the actual grille guard. But even this isn't a fit for you 2012 GMC Acadia so I would not recommend it for you.
You would need the # 30-0005-1415 for a similar grille guard confirmed to fit your vehicle. view full answer...
The brake controller install harness needed for a 2010 GMC Acadia is the part # 3026-P. This adapter plugs into the 6-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.
I attached a picture that points it out.
If you have a round connector under the rear of your vehicle and need a 7-way to plug into it the part # HM40975 will fit... view full answer...
Our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98863 hides behind the plastic cover and is a fairly easy install! I'll include a video to show you how you can install it yourself. The wiring will be just as easy if not easier! Since you do not have the factory tow package, you'll need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # C56245 . This kit includes the fuses and replays to activate your tow package along with all the wiring you'll... view full answer...
To lock the Hitching Post Pro bike rack # TH934XTR to a trailer hitch you can use the Snug Tite lock # THSTL2. Or, to lock both the bikes and the rack to the hitch you can use a cable lock such as # e98891. You would run the cable through the bikes and hitch and through the safety chain loops on the hitch. view full answer...
The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425 and part # Y33TR is what I recommend for a 2018 GMC Acadia Denali.
This system has aero shape crossbars so they will create the least amount of noise and work with the widest variety of rooftop mounted accessories. It also has a 165 lbs weight capacity which will be enough for three kayaks.
The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System can then be used with the Thule The Stacker part # TH830. view full answer...
First let's start with a hitch for your 2014 GMC Acadia. For that you will want the Draw-Tite part # 75528. There are no hitch options for your vehicle that will allow it to keep the rear fascia, but realistically that shouldn't be a problem since it's main purpose is only for appearance purposes. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

Anytime a trailer's weight is more than 50 percent of the tow vehicle's weight, a weight distribution system will likely provided some benefits. Based on my research, it looks like your 2018 GMC Acadia has a curb weight of around 4,000 pounds. Since your loaded trailer weight of 2,500 pounds is more than half of this, a weight distribution system might be a good idea.
If you are still unsure, there is no issue with simply taking your loaded boat trailer out for a couple of rides with... view full answer...
I looked up the owners manual for you 2019 GMC Acadia and it says that both FWD and AWD models with the 3.6L V6 can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. If you have the 2.4L L4 it states that it is not designed to be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. I recommend that you verify what the owners manual states and verify how your Acadia is equipped. The manual will also outline the procedure of how to put your Acadia into tow mode before your trip.
