  • Can I Monitor The Braking System In The Motorhome When Using The Roadmaster InvisiBrake System?
  • Although the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 doesn't have a fancy transmitter/ receiver like the RoadMaster Even Brake System # RM-9430, the InvisiBrake system does have a LED monitor that illuminates when your towed vehicle's brakes have been activated. It lets you know if the brakes have been on for too long with an audible alert. at that point the system will automatically begin to release pressure after 15 seconds of continuous braking. The InvisiBrake system...

  • Comparing Available Trailer Hitch Styles for 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
  • The hitch you mentioned would work great for you. There are two hitch types available for your 2015 Cherokee a hitch that would have a crossbar that's completely concealed behind the rear bumper like the Curt Class III trailer hitch, part # C13172 or the style of hitch where the crossbar would be entirely exposed, like the Curt Class III, part # C13171.

  • What Trunk Rack Do You Recommend for a 2020 Jeep Compass?
  • For a three-bike carrier on your 2020 Jeep Compass, I recommend the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803. The reason why it is better than the Yakima Fullback # Y02633 is because the Fullback has a per-bike weight limit of 30 pounds when transporting three bikes in comparison to the Saris Bones EX 3's 35 pound capacity. Another great advantage of the Bones EX 3 over the Fullback is Bones EX 3's 6 trunk attachment points over the Fullback's 4 attachment points. More attachment points ultimately means...

  • Compatibility of Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080 Cargo Basket on 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Yakima's MegaWarrior # Y07080 cargo basket offers good flexibility in being able to mount to a variety of factory and aftermarket crossbar shapes. The MegaWarrior basket is 52 x 48-inches and requires a crossbar spread in the range of 30- to 38-inches. The MegaWarrior a capacity of 130-lbs, however you will want to check your Grand Cherokee owner's manual (or with your local dealership) to confirm the vehicle's rooftop weight rating, which could be less than the baskets'.

  • Comparison of Curt and Hopkins Wiring Harness for 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • The Curt Wiring Harness # C55382 connects behind the tail lights of your 2002 Jeep Liberty. So you need a connector on each side to power the 4-pole. However, the Hopkins Harness # 42475 connects behind a panel in the rear compartment on the passenger side of your Jeep and doesn't connect on both sides. It's really just a matter of the harnesses plugging in at different places. They're both correct. The catch is that you'll need to make sure your Jeep has the connector behind the panel...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate for 2011 Jeep Wrangler
  • The difference between the # BX1126 and # BX1134 is the Jeep bumpers they're compatible with. The # BX1126 so compatible with the standard factory front bumper, while the # BX1134 is only compatible with the ARB Stubby Bar bumper. In addition to the base plates, you'll also need a tow bar, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and perhaps a high/low adapter. I've linked to a help article that lists the various available products to flat tow your 2011 Wrangler.

  • What is the Difference Between the Roadmaster EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kits on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
  • That is a great question because overall there is not much of a difference. The difference between the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit (EZ4) # RM-521453-4 and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit (EZ5) # RM-521453-5 is going to be in what type of tow bar attaches to each base plate. The # RM-521453-4 (EZ4) will use a crossbar style tow bar like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plates # e44ZR. The # RM-521453-5 (EZ5) will use a direct...

  • Difference Between Tekonsha and Curt Trailer Wiring for 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
  • The Curt # C27BR and Tekonsha # TK39VR are very similar, but the best choice for your 2024 Grand Cherokee L is the Tekonsha. The main reason for this is that we have found Tekonsha to be the most reliable when it comes to wiring. Their wiring harnesses have a much lower failure rate and tend to last longer. Outside of that they have the same basic design, installation, and will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.

  • There are two finishes offered for the Bestop HighRock 4x4 Bumper that will fit your 2004 Jeep Wrangler. The Satin Black finish # B4290201 and the Matte Black finish # B4490201. I have linked them both to this page for your convenience. If you would like to send me a picture of your stock front bumper, I would be more than happy to help compare which finish is closer to your stock front bumper on your vehicle. Satin is more of a semi-gloss while matte is not shiny at all.

  • Features of Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar BX7420
  • Both Roadmaster and Blue Ox make quality tow bars and related components like base plates for flat towing. You can refer to the two linked articles for a comparison of their features but I can tell you our installers do like the Blue Ox equipment. However, there are also a wide range of adapters available to allow use of a Roadmaster base plate with a Blue Ox towbar, and vice-versa, since there are many products in use and not everyone is starting from scratch with their flat towing set-up. If...

  • Difference Between Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 and Nautic 571 Rear-Loading Kayak Carriers
  • The primary difference between the two Rhino-Rack Nautic rear-loading kayak carriers # RR581 and # RR571 is the type of roof crossbar they will install on. The # RR581 works with crossbars that have an internal channel (please see the photo I linked for you) while the # RR571 works on a whole range of crossbar types including round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. The bars' spread needs to be at least 23-9/16-inches measured center to center for this carrier to fit. Review...

  • Comparing Curt 13507 and 13525 For 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL Altitude
  • The Curt 13507 was phased out and replaced with the Curt # C96NR (13525). Curt updated the design which also allows it to fit the Grand Cherokee L. They also updated the mounting hardware. For your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL Altitude you want to use the latest hitch so that means the # C96NR. If you need the hitch for towing you will also want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C27BR. This will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. If you also need...

  • Comparing Trailer Brake Controllers For 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee W/ ETBC7 Installed
  • I would be happy to go over the recommended trailer brake controller for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the # ETBC7 installed. Starting with an economical option I recommend the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Time Delayed # 39523 which is a time delayed controller meaning that the brakes are applied to your trailer a set amount of time and with a set amount of intensity when the brakes of your vehicle applied. This style controller is popular in the...

  • Comparison of Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited
  • The main difference between Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receivers # C13172 and # C13171 is the appearance. The # C13172 hides the cross tube of the hitch so all the is exposed under your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited is the receiver opening. On the # C13171 you will be able to see the majority of the hitch. This is also the reason for the fascia trimming on the # C13172. The receiver opening us under the fascia while the cross tube is hidden away behind it. So there needs to be an opening...

  • Comparing Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13392 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98856 for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is their finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte finish which blends in with the vehicle better and hides scratches more and the Curt hitch has a shiny finish. They are both great and equally durable. I recommend the etrailer hitch as it simply looks a bit nicer. In order to complete your towing setup you'll also need the T-One Vehicle...

  • Do Tire Chains or Cables Offer Better Traction and Which is Better
  • Actual tire chains are better than cables. Chains offer better traction and longer life. They also seem to be more corrosion resistant. Some chains are easier to put on that others. The same goes with cables but the cables are lighter. Cables are good for occasional use but if you need chains frequently then going with actual chains is preferred. Some vehicles require chains or cables that do not stick out from the tire very far because of limited clearance between the tire and vehicle....

  • What is the Difference Between CURT Class III Trailer Hitches for a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The main difference between CURT Trailer Hitch C13075 and # C13065, is the cross tube. On C13075, it has a round tube and the receiver extends straight out from the side of the tube. This requires a bend in the cross tube which makes more of the hitch visible beneath the vehicle. Hitch # C13065 has a square cross tube. The receiver is welded to the bottom of the square tube and this makes only the receiver visible beneath the rear of the vehicle. The rest of the hitch is hidden behind...
