  • Availability of Replacement Gooseneck Inner Tube Coupler with 4-1/2 Diameter
  • The only replacement gooseneck coupler inner tube that we carry which has the 4-1/2" outside tube measurement is the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler # BD0287690300. This is a round coupler that has a weight rating of 20,000 lbs and fits over a 2-5/16" hitch ball. If instead you have a square coupler the only option we have to offer is an entire replacement like with th Ram # GCSQ-25008 which is rated for 25,000 lbs and a 2-5/16" hitch ball. This comes with both the inner and outer tubes which...

  • How to Control Sway With Trailer Hitch Not Rated for Weight Distribution on 2019 Kia Sorento
  • The trailer hitches available for your 2019 Kia Sorento are not rated for use with weight distribution due to the vehicle and not the hitch itself; the frame of your Sorento does not have the strength to allow for the higher weight ratings that a weight distribution system can offer. The good news is you can still use sway control with a trailer hitch such as the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75908 that fits your 2019 Sorento. All you will need is the Reese Friction Sway Control...

  • We offer two brands of 2-inch hitches for your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, and one of these, the class III Curt # C13309, is designed with a concealed cross tube that lets the vehicle keep more of its stock appearance. The included photo shows you the Curt hitch installed. The other hitch, class IV Draw-Tite # 76031, offers slightly easier installation but it will be more visible once installed. For a clean and discrete appearance the USA-made Curt hitch wins. The written instructions and...

  • Can Multiple Devices be Connected to the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller 51180
  • Yes, the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 can be used with multiple devices. However, only one device can have the application running on their phone while in range. In regards to compatibility, it will not work with a iPhone 4 as the IOS 8.0 software which is required for the Curt Echo is not available for this version. The oldest iPhone that can be used with the Curt Echo is a iPhone 4s. In order to check what you have now you will 1) locate and open the settings...

Additionally, you can have faith in how dependable this harness is because its manufacturer, Tekonsha, has a very strong reputation for creating quality wiring products. As such, this harness also...

  • Comparing Curt Spectrum and Redarc Tow-Pro Brake Controller for 2018 Toyota Tundra
  • Both the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR and the Curt Spectrum # C51170 Trailer Brake Controller offer a sleek OEM design that gets away from the traditional knee knocker mounted options that take up a lot of space in the cab. Between these two brake controllers though I do recommend going with the Redarc # RED44FR for a couple of reasons. The first reason is an aesthetic one. One of the main benefits of both controllers is the subtle design that tries to blend in with the interior of...

  • EcoHitch and Recommended Bike Rack for a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
  • I recommend going with the 2" EcoHitch # 306-X7365 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. It allows you to use a wider variety of ball mount options as well as accessories like a bike rack. I have attached an installation video that you can check out. The installation is identical for both trailer hitches so it is a good reference no matter which way you go. If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B because it combines a great look...

  • Compatibility of Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution and Trailer Valet 5X on a 2019 Airstream Trailer
  • When using an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control like # EQ37100ET, the Trailer Valet 5X # STC-V211 will not be able to be completely installed at the same time. However if you look at the attached dimensions of the Trailer Valet 5X system you may find that there is enough room behind the trunnion bars and bracket on the Equal-I-zer to keep the mount installed. If there is enough room for the mounting bracket to be installed and not come in contact with the...

  • The best option for a trunk mounted bike rack on your 2019 Lexus RX 350 is the SeaSucker Hornet Rear Window Bike Rack # 298-BH1302 because it is very easy to use will allow you to maintain the clean look at the rear of your Lexus. The SeaSucker Hornet is a pair of vacuum cups that have ratcheting straps which grasp your bike by the handlebars and uses an additional strap to secure it to your vehicle, as you can see in the accompanying photo.

  • Can Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack From 2012 GMC Sierra be Installed on 2015 GMC Sierra
  • If you currently have the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bar System that consists of the 54 inch Vortex Bars in Black # RRVA137B-2 or Silver # RRVA137S-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the # DK227 Fit Kit, then the only additional item you need to transfer this to your new 2015 Sierra is a new Fit Kit. Your existing # DK227 Fit Kit will not work on the 2015 Sierra and you will instead just need the DK Fit Kit # DK377. You can still use your current crossbars and legs.

  • Do the Hubs/Drums Need Changed When Replacing the Braking Assemblies
  • To summarize, you have 12" x 2" Hayes Braking Assemblies with round magnets. If the magnets have failed then you would need to replace the entire braking assemblies as they no longer offer these magnets as replacement parts. Therefore, I recommend the Hayes/AL-KO Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 185100-150 which use a five bolt brake mounting flange. If the hub/drums that you have now are not out of round then you can reuse them with the Hayes/AL-KO Electric Trailer Brake Kit. You would...

  • Run Time Per Tank of Gas for Etrailer Portable Inverter Generators Run in Parallel
  • The etrailer 4,900-Watt Portable Inverter Generators - 4,275 Running Watts - Gas - Manual # 333-0001-0002 will run for 4-6 hours at that 2,500 watts running load. That is with the generators in regular mode. You may get a little more time using Eco mode but that Eco mode is the biggest help with smaller loads under 25% not the 58% you stated. In general, when running in parallel without the eco mode you will get 8-9 hours at 25% capacity and 4-6 hours at 50% capacity. The Eco mode will...

  • Compatible Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack for 2008 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2-Foot Bed
  • Most aftermarket tonneau covers and ladders racks are not compatible with each other when installed on the same vehicle. Most often this is due to them using the same mounting points, or similar mounting points that interfere with the installation or operation of the other item. The tonneau cover and ladder rack combination that is known to work well consists of the BAK Revolver cover and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding ladder rack. These products can both install and function correctly on...

  • Does Included 6-Way Connector Bracket Mount Directly to Tabless Base Plate # DM9519339
  • I spoke with my contact at Demco and the 6-Way connector bracket that is included with the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519339 referenced in your question isn't really designed to mount to the base plates themselves. The bracket is a universal piece that will simply get mounted to a flat surface in a convenient location on your Jeep. Because vehicles greatly differ depending on various packages and models, there aren't any specific instructions as to how and where the bracket should...

  • Can 13 inch Trailer Wheel and Tire Replace 12 inch Size 5.30-12
  • The wheel and tire from Karrier part # AM31994 would work well for you. It's a 13 inch wheel with the tire size of 175/80-13 and a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch like you need as well. The pilot diameter is 3.19 inch too which is slightly larger than what you have now but will still work great. Overall diameter of the tire is 24.1 inches and the section width is 7 inch. You might compare that to what you have to make sure you have the additional clearance. Your current tire diameter is...

  • Thule Cargo Box Fit Recommendation for 2018 Toyota 4Runner
  • For your 2018 Toyota 4Runner with the factory roof rack the only cargo box Thule recommends as a fit is their Sidekick # TH78GC. The distance between the roof and the bottom of the crossbars on your roof rack is so low that only the U-bolt style of attachment like what the Sidekick has will fit without interference. Yakima also does not recommend any of their boxes as fits either.

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2018 Ram 1500 Require Trimming Fascia
  • All of the front hitches we offer for your 2018 Ram 1500 like the Draw Tite part # 65062 do require trimming of the front fascia. The trimming allows the hitch to sit a little bit higher so that you get slightly better ground clearance. Front hitches typically aren't classified but this hitch is a 2 inch size like a Class III normally is and has higher capacities too at 9,000 lb line pull and 500 lb vertical load.
