According to the online manual for the 2015 GMC terrain that I looked at the vehicle can be flat-towed once a few steps are taken, including the removal of fuse 32 that's in the interior fuse box to prevent battery drain. I suggest you refer to your owners manual, specifically the section identified in the index as Recreational Towing, just to confirm that your particular Terrain is suitable for flat-towing and to become familiar with the steps necessary.

I do have an option for you but Draw-Tite does not list the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76419 as a fit for a 2022 GMC Terrain yet therefore, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C77FR which is a confirmed fit. The Curt hitch has a class III rating, 2" opening, and 4,500 lb capacity. view full answer...
One of our most flexible bike racks is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider, part # HLY64FR. The RV rider can carry two bikes weighing up to 80 lbs per bike with tires up to 5 inches wide. It can accommodate many kinds of bikes, fat bikes, e-bikes, bikes with fenders or bikes with step through frames. It can be used on passenger vehicles, 5th wheels with a GVWR above 5000 lbs, motorhomes or flat towed vehicles. The rack includes a keyed alike hitch lock, locking frame clamps and a cable lock to... view full answer...
Although some Class II receivers are offered for your Terrain, I always recommend going with a Class III whenever the choice is available. Although the greater capacity is not that important to you, the 2 inch receiver that the Class III uses is much more common, therefore there is a better selection of hitch mounted accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers available for the 2 inch receiver. The etrailer Class III Receiver, part # e98865 is our most popular hitch for your Terrain and... view full answer...
When choosing a ball mount, the first thing to consider is the size of your trailer hitch receiver opening. Your Terrain will have either a 2 inch receiver opening or a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. You can find this by measuring the height and width of the receiver opening on your trailer hitch.
After that, we will want to find the correct rise or drop needed to tow your trailer level. To do this, we will need two measurements. You will want to park your truck and trailer on level ground... view full answer...
The opening in the rear bumper fascia is for the OEM hitch available from GM. The aftermarket hitches we offer for that vehicle, such as the Curt # C77FR would install so the receiver tube sits directly under the bumper, as shown in the provided photo. As you can see, the hitch crossbar is concealed behind the bumper, with the only visible portion of the hitch being the receiver tube and the safety chain loops.
I've linked to the installation video for the Curt hitch I recommended. I prefer... view full answer...
The 2021 GMC Terrain cannot be flat-towed with all four wheels down per the owner's manual (page 322). If it's an AWD model it will have to be towed on a trailer but if it's a FWD model you can use a tow dolly. For this, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713045 which has disc brakes for better stopping power and a foldable design for compact storage. view full answer...
Yes, the Yakima Roof Rack you referenced part numbers # Y00408, # Y28TR, # Y03536, and # Y06146 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2014 GMC Terrain and would come with everything needed to install crossbars on your vehicle.
This rack mounts directly to the roof of your vehicle and does not require any rails be there prior. view full answer...
Since the two RV ladder-mount racks you referenced, Stromberg Carlson # LA-102 and Surco # SP501BR, are both 2-bike carriers I will presume you have only 2 bikes to transport.
What I suggest is installing a hitch on the Terrain. The etrailer # e98865, which is shown in the linked installation video, and in it using an RV-approved 2-bike hitch rack, like the cost-effective and lightweight Curt # C18085. This hitch/rack combination is less costly than most options and it offers certain... view full answer...
I did some checking and it looks like the AWD and automatic transmission versions of the 2011 GMC Terrain are flat towable as-is so you'd be good to go. You'll need to start with a base plate kit like # 523163-1 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this as well.
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.... view full answer...
The hitches like the etrailer part # e98865 for your GMC Terrain do come with install bolts that are size 1/2-13 x 1 3/4 and M12-1.75 x 40mm. We installed this hitch on a similar 2014 Terrain like yours with the included hardware that you can see at the attached install video link.
We do see this problem pretty often and the solution is normally to clean the threads like you've done or use a thread tap to clean them out as the rust is very difficult to clean typically. view full answer...

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76028 is your best choice for your 2017 GMC Terrain. This receiver has a 2" receiver opening that will accept a larger selection of bike racks.
I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH22G as it is very easy to use and the built in locking system ensures your bike will still be there if you leave it on your rack. It has a lightweight aluminum construction at only 32lbs and is rated to carry 2 bikes up to 40lbs each.

I have just what you need. The Trailer Coupler 1-7/8" Ball 3" Channel Tongue part # DL13728 which you could add the Trailer Coupler Grip Handle by Dutton-Lainson part # DL13350 to in order to help maneuver the trailer. I am not aware of any one piece coupler/handle combo but the above will work perfectly for you. view full answer...
Check the owners manual for the vehicle you intend to flat tow because you may or may not have to disconnect the battery to flat tow it. If you do not then it is possible that there is some feature that could drain the battery while in tow. And of course if you do have to disconnect the battery it would not drain.
To provide a maintenance charge to the vehicle while in tow you would attach a charge wire to the battery and connect it to the Terrain side connector. I recommend using a 6-way... view full answer...
From what I could find, a 6' x 10' Haulmark trailer will weigh 1,195 pounds, so with a 700 pound bike on it you will be looking at 1,895 pounds of loaded trailer. Tongue weight is typically 10 to 15% of your loaded weight so this means your tongue weight will be anywhere from 190 pounds to 285 pounds (both rounded up a little). This is pretty light either way, so odds are you will not need a weight distribution. However, even with heavy trailers, I tend to tell people to try without it... view full answer...
You have chosen wisely because I highly recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76419 for your 2020 GMC Terrain (non-diesel). The reason this is the best hitch for you is because it has the highest capacities at 4,500 lbs towing and 675 lbs tongue weight, which speaks to it's strength and durability, and because it is the only hitch rated for use with a weight distribution system, which is something people use regularly when towing.

In regards to braking systems, there are portable options which take a bit of time to setup but can easily be transfered for vehicle to vehicle and there are fixed options which don't really require any setup but are not easily transferred from one vehicle to another.
The best two options in these categories are the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR and the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251. These will both work just fine on a 2017... view full answer...
I recommend going with the etrailer trailer hitch # e98865 because it has the highest weight capacities of 350 lbs Tongue Weight (TW) and 3500 lbs Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). This hitch is confirmed to fit all models of the 2017 GMC Terrain so it will work well with your dual exhaust. I attached an install video for you to check out.
If you let me know what you will be using the hitch for, I would be more than happy to make some more recommendations for you. view full answer...
The GloLight 4-1/2 inch Round LED tail light part # STL101RKB would be a great option that is incredibly bright. If you check out the review video I attached you can see that when the brighter illumination of the light is activated like when the brakes are activated the light is very bright. view full answer...
