Expert Answers about Cadillac DeVille


  • Minimum Accessory Shank Length for a Hitch on a 2002 Cadillac De Ville
  • When we installed the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver, Class II # 36287 on a similar Cadillac DeVille to your 2002 model, we found that the center of the hitch pin hole sits 5 inches behind the rear bumper. If this hitch sits in the same place on your 2002 DeVille, you will need at least 5-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the hitch accessory to clear the bumper, and give yourself a bit of wiggle room. If you're looking to carry bikes on your DeVille,...

  • Which Drawbar Should be Used with a Draw-Tite Hitch on a 1993 Cadillac DeVille
  • The hitch manufacturers recommend drawbars for their hitches based on vehicle height and the most common trailer heights. The recommended drawbar for the 1993 Cadillac DeVille hitch is part # 36071 with a 2-5/8 inch rise or a 3-1/4 inch depending on orientation. Please refer to instructions for installing the hitch as which way the draw bar should be oriented. I will include a link to those instructions below. The hitch for your DeVille is Draw-Tite (NO LONGER AVAILABLE) part 36173.

  • Trailer Hitch for 1998 Cadillac DeVille to Allow Towing Small Utility Trailer
  • We do offer one trailer hitch receiver for your 1998 Cadillac DeVille, part # 36267 from Draw-Tite. This is a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch with 300-lb tongue weight and 3500-lb towing capacities. You will want to check your DeVille's owner's manual or speak to a local Cadillac dealership to confirm that the vehicle is rated to tow a trailer. It is possible that the hitch and car have different capacities, and when this is the case the lower-rated item determines the overall capacity for the...

  • Hitch Placement of Draw-Tite Hitch part # 36287 on a 2001 Cadillac DeVille
  • We have not installed one of these on a 2000-2005 DeVille. I have included a link to the instructions that shows where the hitch is in relation to the rear bumper. See the top left corner. The picture shows the drawbar in the hitch, but the drawbar can be removed when not in use. You will not be able to see much of the hitch unless you kneel down level with the car.

  • Roof Rack System for a 1996 Cadillac DeVille
  • I do have an option for you but the Inno Square Crossbar System part # INB127, part # INSUT, and part # INK153 is not a confirmed fit for your 1996 Cadillac DeVille. Unfortunately, at this time we do not have a custom fit roof rack for your vehicle. What I can offer you is a universal crossbar like part # DTA968 as this is the only crossbar we have that would work for you. The crossbar secures to the roof via straps that run through the inside of the car. Though certainly not idea it...

  • Can I Tow a 17 Foot Boat with a 2002 Cadillac DeVille
  • You must abide by the weight capacity of the hitch or vehicle, whichever is lowest. Adding air shocks or springs will not increase the capacity of the hitch and, unless Cadillac has specified, it will not increase the towing capacity of the DeVille. Check the owner manual to see what the towing capacities of the car are. This Curt hitch, part # 12058, will fit a 2002 Cadillac DeVille and it has gross trailer weight capacity of 3500 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 350 pounds. If the...

  • Installing Trailer Hitch On 1999 Cadillac DeVille
  • I have attached the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 36267. The installation requires no drilling and is really a pretty easy install. You just need to lower the exhaust and use the existing holes ion the frame on your Cadillac. Then raise the exhaust back into place and that's it. To clean out the existing holes and weldnuts on your vehicle you can use part # 814092.

  • Trailer Hitch Options for a 2004 Cadillac DeVille
  • The only trailer hitches available for the 2004 Cadillac DeVille are Class II trailer hitches. I have included a link to them for you to the right. I am assuming you need a Class III hitch because you need the 2 inch receiver for an accessory of some kind. You may be able to still use a 2 inch accessory by using an adapter, # HTAD, but keep in mind that the use of an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. Curt hitch # C12058 has the highest tongue...

  • Using H4 Headlight Bulbs with 3 Prongs on 1964 Cadillac with 2 Prong Receptacle
  • My dad used to have a 1967 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. I have been inside and out of the car helping him work on it. I think your best option is to use wiring harness # P239003HD. It has a 3-prong receptacle and the wiring for the bulb. Better yet you could use # P230004HW which includes the heavier wire and receptacles along with relays to protect the old wiring on your Caddy.

  • What Hitch do You Recommend for My 1962 Cadillac DeVille Convertable?
  • I have a creative solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not carry a customized-fit option for a hitch on your 1962 Cadillac DeVille convertable. The only option we have is to use a universal hitch like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide # C13701. The Curt universal hitch comes with adjustable brackets that will fit frames between 18-51 inches wide. In order to make sure that your frame falls within these dimensions, I recommend that you measure your frame (from side...

  • What is the recommended Draw Bar for a 1999 Cadillac DeVille
  • The manufacturer recommended drawbar for your Cadillac DeVille is part number 36063 which has a 3-1/8 inch rise and 11-3/4 inch long distance between the center of the hitch pin hole and the center of the ball mount hole. When towing with a class II trailer hitch, the ball mount that is recommended by the manufacturer should be used. All class II trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount for that hitch. Using a ball mount that is not recommended by the manufacturer...

  • Recommended Ball Mount Compatible With 1998 Cadillac DeVille
  • Based on the confirmed fit trailer hitch receivers we have for your 1998 Cadillac DeVille, I assume you have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Because of how far back this sits from the bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 3-1/8" Rise - 11-3/4" Long - 3,500 lbs # 36063. With this ball mount you can use # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball or # 19257 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • Which Way Does Wheel Rim Clamp # 15-2 Go on Rear Wheel of Mobile Home
  • The Wheel Rim Clamp # 15-2 that you referenced will install with the lip towards the inside of the hub on the other side of the nut that holds it in place. The angled portion of the clamp sits outside of the wheel and it will tighten up against it as you turn the nut. We don't have any pictures available of this particular clamp installed and it's a little hard to describe it but if you search for some images online of a wheel rim clamp installed you might get a clearer picture as to...

  • Towing Compatibility of 1969 Cadillac DeVille
  • The large motors in those old Cadillacs (in your case the 7.7L V8) will allow you to tow a trailer that is 2,500 lbs. If your vehicle brakes are in good working order you will be able to stop a fully loaded trailer that size as well. Anything larger, and I'd definitely recommend using a brake controller like # 90195 and that would be the best route if your travel trailer has brakes anyway. If that is the case let me know and I'll help you get the wiring you need as this is the safest...
