  • What Size Hitch is Available for 1994 Suzuki Sidekick
  • For lighter duty vehicles like your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Curt part # 11128. The larger 2 inch size is only seen on heavier duty vehicles like trucks and SUVs. You'd need a new bike rack that fits the 2 inch hitch size basically like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C13001 Fit a 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The short answer is that the manufacturers usually will know and we update our fit guide as information comes in. For the 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara (not XL7), I found that Curt does list trailer hitch # C13001 as a fit so you can use it on your 2013. It gets a little more tricky with adding wiring to a vehicle. None of the manufacturers currently list a compatible trailer wiring harness for the 2013. In these cases we recommend checking a dealership to determine if they have a wiring option...

  • Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara With Rear Mounted Spare Tire
  • One thing to keep in mind when using a hitch extender like part # HE18 is that the overall weight capacity of your trailer hitch will be reduced by 50 percent due to the additional leverage that is applied by the hitch mounted accessory sitting further away from the trailer hitch. If you have a class II or class III hitch on your 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara, then the tongue weight capacity of your hitch is most likely 350 lbs. When you use a hitch extend it will be reduced to 175 lbs. The...

  • Dimensions of Putco Tailgate Cap 51614P
  • I reached out to the manufacturer and the Putco Tailgate Cap - Stainless Steel # P51614P measures 50.25 inches long. He didn't have a width and we don't have one to measure ourselves so all I can give you is that he says it will cover the top side completely. This Product Fits The Following Vehicles: 1988 - 2000 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup 6-1/2 Foot Bed - Stepside 1988 - 2000 GMC C/K Series Pickup 6-1/2 Foot Bed - Stepside 1988 - 2000 GMC C/K Series Pickup 8 Foot Bed

  • Can Convert a Ball Fifth Wheel Adapter be Locked
  • Your Convert-a-Ball 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G can be locked with a padlock like our part # ML4140LH. You'd pass the shackle of the lock through the locking handle slot and out the hole in the foot of the coupler. This prevents the coupler from being opened, so it can be used while the trailer is hitched or when it's not. Either way, the lock will help deter theft by making it difficult to unlock the coupler.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes That Stay Locked Up
  • I suggest disconnecting the trailer to allow you to test the wiring on the vehicle independent of any potential issues on the trailer. You will need a circuit tester like # PTW2993 or a multi-meter like # PT89ZR. First, test the 7-way. The brake circuit is carried on the pin at the 5-o-clock position (see photo please). If your controller is set for zero power and zero boost, in other words powered up but with no output level, you should detect close to 0 volts on the pin. If you detect...

  • Best Supplemental Braking System to Flat Tow A 1996 Suzuki Sidekick
  • I recommend the Stay-IN-Play Duo part # SM99251 for the 1996 Suzuki Sidekick. The Stay-IN-Play is a permanent installation with a concealed operating unit under the dash that activates an actuating cylinder to depress the brake pedal with the motor home brakes. The small cylinder also stays in the vehicle near the brake pedal out of the way for driving the vehicle once you get to your destination. The Stay-IN-Play is the best option because once you have it installed you don't have to remove...

  • What Gauge Wire for the Power Wire of the Prodigy RF Brake Controller
  • For running the power wire of the Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR you'll need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot ran through a breaker like part # 9510 up to the positive post of the battery. If you tried to use the rear taillights as a power source you would draw too much for the circuit and would blow a fuse. The most it would draw depends on the amount of axles but should be around 30 amps.

I've linked you to some helpful articles about flat towing.

  • Flat Tow Setup For A 1986 Suzuki Samurai
