Expert Answers about Cadillac Escalade


  • K-Source Towing Mirrors for a 2018 Cadillac Escalade
  • We do have a universal fit towing mirror from K-Source. It's part # KS3891. I've seen some feedback that these have worked for the 2018 Cadillac Escalade and they fit perfectly. They're designed to work with factory side mirrors that are between 4-1/2"-11-1/2" tall and have a lip alongside the mirror face. I've linked to a video review of this mirror for you to look at.

  • Best Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Cadillac Escalade
  • The brake controller I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac Escalade is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR because this brake controller senses the amount of braking you are applying on your vehicle and applies a proportional amount on the trailer brakes. It also has a very small knob that gets mounted basically anywhere you want on your dash or console. I attached a picture of what it will look like installed. To install it all you need is the custom fit install...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2008 Cadillac Escalade Towing Horse Trailer
  • I would recommend air bags like the Firestone kit part # F4186 that fits your 2008 Cadillac Escalade with autoride suspensions over Timbrens as the Timbren kits have a reputation of being kind of harsh when unloaded which is not something anyone would want from an Escalade. The air bags allow you to air them up when you need the additional support and deflate them easily when not needed so that your ride isn't affected.

  • Should Hopkins Impulse 47235 Light Up When Stepping on Brakes without Trailer Connected
  • I spoke with my contact at Hopkins regarding your newly installed Impulse model 47235 brake controller and he said that on this particular unit there won't be any lights when stepping on the brake controller if you're not hooked up to a trailer. He did mention, like you did, that on previous generation controllers there would be a light or number displayed when applying the brakes whether connected to a trailer nor not but that is not the case with the Impulse. It sounds like the brake...

  • Are Any Bumper Modifications Needed to Install Curt Hitch # C15324 on 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15324 will not require any trimming or cutting to install. The installation is not difficult for this hitch and the bumper already is shaped in the hitch location. The only thing you need to do is lower and remove the spare tire and then reinstall after installation. I've attached the installation details to assist.

  • Can I Carry Two 66 LB Ebikes On A Thule EasyFold XT
  • I do not think you will have a problem carrying your 66 lb ebikes on the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # TH903202, provided you follow this piece of advice. Now this advice is not from me, but from ebike manufacturers speaking about the best way to transport their bikes on your vehicle. You should always remove your batteries from your bike when transporting them on a bike rack. If you follow that advice you will not have to...

  • Timbren System Recommendation for 2005 Cadillac Escalade
  • For your 2005 Cadillac Escalade the Timbren Kit part # TGMRG25C is a confirmed fit and will provide you with suspension enhancement at the rear of it to reduce the sag you have. These are a fit for your air ride model as well since your vehicle is all wheel drive.

  • Parts Needed to Upgrade Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution to 1,200 lb Tongue Weight
  • We do have the Equal-i-zer 1,200 lb tongue weight spring bars with the part # EQ90-01-1299 which it sounds like you are in need of. You should note that you'll have to replace the head of the system too since they are all different sizes based on spring bars that are installed. For that you'd need the part # EQ90-02-1200. The Reese bars would not work for you.

  • Recommended Roof Mount Cargo Boxes For 2014 Cadillac Escalade With Factory Roof Rack
  • The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box, part # TH629706 will work great with the crossbars on your 2014 Escalade. You can take a quick measurement to make sure the rear hatch will open when the cargo box is installed. You can measure the distance from the center of the front crossbar on your roof rearward to the seam between the roof and the rear hatch. This is called 'front clearance'. For the # TH629706 cargo box the required front clearance is 47-1/2 inches. If your crossbars can be moved,...

  • 2016 Cadillac Escalade Tow Mirror Recommendation
  • I have a solution for you but the 2015/2016 Cadillac Escalade has a new mirror design and none of our mirror manufacturers have a fit listed yet, but a universal towing mirror could still work. I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your truck. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Cadillac Escalade
  • For your 2018 Cadillac Escalade the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRYS4 will work great. These jounce-style springs are confirmed to fit your vehicle and will simply replace the factory bump stop on the frame to provide additional support and improve the overall performance of your rear suspension. I like the Timbrens over air spring alternatives because they don't require any attention after the initial installation. With air springs, especially if you change the type...

  • Can SuperChips Programmer be Used in Arizona for 2006 Cadillac Escalade
  • The most sound advice I can give you would be to use the SuperChips programmer part # SU2060 on your 2006 Cadillac Escalade only when you are in Arizona so that you don't get yourself into any trouble. This does install and uninstall pretty easily so it wouldn't be too difficult to work pull off either. We also have a California approved programmer that fits your vehicle too with the Superchips part # SU4845. This might be your easiest and best solution.

  • Troubleshooting Codes for Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller Installed in 2018 Cadillac Escalade
  • It sounds like you have installed your Redarc Tow-Pro Elite trailer brake controller # RED44FR using the custom GM wiring adapter # 3016-S. This is the correct harness for the 2018 Cadillac Escalade with factory 7-way connector. An error code from ANY trailer brake controller most often is a result of a connectivity issue like a loose or dirty trailer plug (or vehicle socket). For the Tow-Pro Elite a flashing error code may remain until you unplug the trailer and wait at least a minute...

  • Where Is The Port To Install The Prodigy P2 And 3016 Pigtail On A 2016 Cadillac Escalade
  • From the picture you provided, I can say that you are almost there. The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3016. I included a picture for you to check out, but it's actually the port directly above the white one with the blue housing on the left hand side. It looks like it will be a snug fit, but wont cause any issues. I included an install video for you to check out, but it is on a Silverado and it didn't have that blue and white plug, but should still help.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for RV with 4 x 4 Square Bumper
  • We currently have five bumper mounted 2" trailer hitch receivers that will work with the 4" x 4" bumper on your trailer. I have attached these options for you but I recommend using the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100. This trailer hitch uses steel plates to surround the bumper as opposed to the u-bolts in the other options. The steel plates will provide more support and also look much better than the u-bolt options. If you also need a cargo basket for your generator...

  • 2014 Cadillac Escalade Wont Start After Curt Brake Controller Installation
  • Thanks so much for the purchase from us of the Curt Discovery Trailer Brake Controller # C84VV for your 2014 Cadillac Escalade, and I'm sorry to hear of this issue you are having. This controller, which you'd use with Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer Brake Controllers # C51515 assuming the Escalade had a factory 7-way already, should not have anything to do with the vehicle starting or not, which means there was a mistake somewhere along the way with the wiring process. I have added a link...
