  • Is there Drilling Required to Install Draw-Tite Hitch 24764 on a Cadillac CTS or STS
  • Yes, you will need to drill 4 holes in the trunk pan. YOu will use a 1/8 inch drill bit to start the holes then enlarge them using a 1/2 inch bit. I would use some sort of silicone sealant to seal the holes as well. I have added a link to the instructions below for you to review.

  • Installation of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on a 2003 Cadillac CTS to Tow Small Jet Ski Trailer
  • The Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 24767 that is a confirmed fit for your 2003 Cadillac CTS and has the towing capacities of 2,000 lbs total trailer and 200 lbs tongue weight. Most Jet Ski trailers weigh less than that so as long as the vehicle has the needed capacity as well you this will work. You will want to check the placard on the inside of your driver's door for your vehicles towing capacities. I also found a section of your owner's manual about towing a trailer you should check...

  • Derale Transmission Cooler Installation Direction on a 2006 Cadillac CTS
  • The best place to mount the Derale Transmission Cooler # D13502 on your 2006 Cadillac CTS is directly behind the front grill and in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. It looks like you will have to remove the front grille or at least the core support cover in order to get an accurate available space measurement. In the attached picture you will see the different spaces that a transmission cooler can install, which in your case # 1 would work best if there is enough available space. If...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 Cadillac CTS
  • When it comes to picking out a transmission cooler for a vehicle there is not a list of confirmed coolers that will fit different vehicles. The best way to pick one out is to measure the area in front of your radiator and pick a cooler that will fit in that area. If you have the room I think a Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13502 should work well to cool the transmission fluid of your 2003 Cadillac CTS. The measurements of this cooler are 11 inches wide, 7-1/4...

  • Will Hopkins Backup Alert Fit a 2013 Cadillac CTS, 2002 Chevy Avalanche, and 2007 Saturn Aura
  • I have great news! The Hopkins backup sensor system, # HM60100VA, is not vehicle specific so you can use it on the 2013 Cadillac CTS, 2002 Chevy Avalanche, and 2007 Saturn Aura. You would need one for each vehicle though. It wires into a reverse light wire on a vehicle to provide power to the sensors. Once an object is in range it will start beeping. Beeping gets more rapid the closer you get to an object in range of the sensors.

  • Correct Wiring Harness for 2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118466 is designed to work with the 2012 Cadillac CTS Sedan, excluding the V-Series. Since this will not work for your coupe, you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56044 which fits both the sedan and the coupe. This will plug into the connection points behind your tail lights just like the Tekonsha harness would so no cutting or splicing is required. This also includes powered tail light converter...

  • Maximum Towing Capacity of 2011 Cadillac CTS with Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I looked at an online copy of the owner's manual for your 2011 Cadillac CTS and it states that your car can tow no more than 1,000 pounds. You should check your owner's manual to verify this. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11196 has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds however this will not increase the capacity of your Cadillac. You are limited by the lowest rated factor which in this case is the car. If you're going to use the hitch to carry anything other than a trailer...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2003 Cadillac CTS
  • The best trunk mounted bike rack we offer that has been confirmed to fit your 2003 Cadillac CTS would be the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy.. It also uses the OneKey system to lock both the carrier and the bikes to deter bike theft. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative...

  • Bike Rack Options for the Back of a Motorhome that is Flat Towing a Vehicle
  • Do you have a ladder rack at the back of your motorhome? If so, you could use a Ladder Bike Rack part # LA-102. If you have a 4 inch bumper that is continuously welded you could use a bumper mounted bike rack like part # S80501. Using a dual hitch adapter wouldn't be ideal since you are currently using an 8 inch drop adapter and none of the dual hitch adapters have that much drop.

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2009 Cadillac CTS
  • One of our most popular trunk mount bike rack would be the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV for a 2 bike model or # TH56BV for a 3 bike model. What makes these racks so good is how quick and simple they are to install. Instead of 6 straps and buckles you need to adjust and fumble around with, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps. The rack also features the OneKey system to secure the rack and to secure the bikes to the rack. Before installing the rack, you'll want to make sure the...

  • Trailer Hitch to Fit 2014 Cadillac CTS VSport
  • I verified with Curt that the #C11900 trailer hitch does fit all 4-door Sedan models of the 2014 Cadillac CTS including the CTS Vsport. I also recommending checking your Cadillac's owner's manual for any restrictions on adding a trailer hitch. I wasn't able to find anything specific on your vehicle but I have seen on some model years of the CTS-V that towing is not recommended from GM so taking a look at your Vsport's printed manual is probably a good idea.

  • Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2012 Cadillac CTS SportWagon
  • The 2012 Cadillac CTS wagon requires a different trailer wiring harness than does the sedan. You would use either # C59236 or # 46255 for the wagon model. Installation will not be quite the same because these are hardwire installations and you will need to use a circuit tester to find the functions of the wiring behind the tail lights. I have included links to the installation instructions for these harnesses for you to view.

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2010 Cadillac CTS
  • The trunk-mount racks I can recommend for your husband's 2010 Cadillac CTS will depend on which vehicle version we're considering. If it is the 2-door coupe, then our only choice is the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount. This is a Vacuum Cup mounted carrier that works amazingly but is quite pricey. Part # 298-BK1910-AB. This one is blue, but it comes in 3 other colors. If the CTS is a 4-door sedan then the Thule OutWay # TH45JV that you referenced is the best choice....
