It sounds like you have a 2013 Chevrolet Traverse with flush rails. In order to mount the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style, part # S512-S512X, or any other kayak carrier to your vehicle, you'll need a roof rack.
I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2. These are aero-style bars that reduce wind noise and drag. To mount them to your flush rails, you'll need the 2500 Series Legs, part # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit, part # DK297.
So, you... view full answer...
For your 2020 Chevrolet Traverse I recommend the Curt # CU29FR. This is a great choice for both towing and accessories.
If you're going to be towing a trailer I recommend a wiring harness like part # 118287 and a ball mount that has the correct rise or drop that fits with your trailer. view full answer...
Regardless of whether or not the Curt Echo # C51180 is level to the ground or not, it will still function properly because of the unit's triple-axis accelerometer. The accelerometer is able to sense the angle that the brake controller is plugged in at and still engages the trailer brakes effectively.
I've attached a video that shows the installation of the Echo on a 4runner where the 7 way is arranged in a manner similar to yours that you can check out and see that it still works. view full answer...
The brake light wire on the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse is located in the instrument panel behind the steering column. You need to test the wires with a circuit tester like part # PTW2992 to see which wire has power when the brake pedal is depressed. I have attached a video that shows our installers finding the brake light switch wire. He removes the instrument panel at the 11:40 timestamp in the video. view full answer...
It sounds like you might be looking to tow a trailer with brakes using a 2020 Chevrolet Traverse. If that is the case then I have some great options. That said, there are no wiring adapters for the brake controller which is why I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 because it does not require splicing. In order to use the Curt Echo you'll need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56393 and Mounting Bracket for 7-Way part # 18138.

I can assure you that Curt makes some of the most durable products on the market and these types of parts undergo rigorous testing during the product development stages, so it's been heavily tested in towing conditions and has proven to withstand all that can be thrown at it. Additionally, the Curt Fusion Ball Mount # C45134 has a lifetime limited warranty against defects and malfunction, which tells me that they're confident this will hold up for as long as you want to tow with it. view full answer...
For your 2014 Chevy Traverse the first thing you need to flat tow it is a base plate kit like the part # RM-523175-5 which is the easiest to use option that fits your vehicle.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.
For lighting/safety... view full answer...
Don't worry, I can help explain how to find the right weight distribution system for you.
First thing to know is to choose the right weight distribution it will be based on loaded tongue weight, which is typically between 10-15 percent of the trailer and anything in addition to that loaded behind the rear axle. It's important that you fall within the middle of the loaded tongue weight capacity for best support. Based on your GVW that puts you at anywhere from 387-708lbs.

When we installed the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness # 118271 on a 2015 Chevy Traverse like yours we used the mounting bracket part # PK12711U to mount the 7-way. view full answer...
Since coupler height isn't a common measurement that is given by trailer manufacturers I don't have that information readily available but I do believe that I can still help out some.
If your Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106DS weighs less than half of the curb weight of your tow vehicle then you can you an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10037B (5" Drop/5-1/2" Rise) or # BWTS10040B (7" Drop/7-1/2" Rise). These not only provide you with a variety of height options but they... view full answer...
The Carpod Cargo Bag # M2202 is 46 inches long by 22 inches wide and is soft sided. So even though it is a little wider than the Curt it will fit in the 47 X 19 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 it will work just fine. view full answer...
It sounds like you are referring to the factory side rails on your 2015 Chevrolet Traverse. If this is the case then no, we do not have any tie downs that would fit in them. However, if you have crossbars with integrated c-channels then you can use the Eyebolts part # S604 as an anchor point. view full answer...
Yes, first there is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU29FR. This receiver will install behind the bumper cover where the factory cut out is for their receiver. It will replace your existing bumper beam so you will have to temporarily remove the bumper cover to install. I have linked an installation video below that will show you the installation process.
The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118287 will give you a 7-way connection that plugs directly into the factory connector.... view full answer...
You'll first want to check that the board in the # DMC74FR has power and that it's running down to the T' Stat. The thermal cutoff fuse on some units sits too close the to burner tube because the were installed facing to the left so I would also recommend flipping it over to the right. From there you'll want to blow out the burner tube with some compressed air to clear out any obstructions that could prevent ignition. Since it's working with the electric switch you most likely just have... view full answer...
To get 7 inches of drop you will need to use your 8 inch drop ball mount you currently have and then use a high rise ball like the part # C40033 that has an inch of rise built into it. This will put you right at 7 inches of drop.
This ball has a 1 inch diameter shank and is a 2 inch ball. view full answer...
Your 2015 Chevy Traverse should have a 7-way trailer wiring connector present at the rear of it. If it does not you'd need the part # 118271 to give you one that taps into the factory wiring. Then all you'd need is a wiring harness designed for your vehicle like the part # 3026-P.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional... view full answer...
Your plug wires will have running light, stop and turn light for each side and then a ground connection. Your trailer lights with 3 wires will either have separate stop and turn lights or a separate ground wire instead of using the mounting hardware as ground. You will want to use a battery and jump wire to test your trailer light wiring unless it is obvious based on the light bulb sockets. If the wiring is connected, you can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to probe the insulation... view full answer...
Yes, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU29FR which will allow the bumper cover to be installed over the cover to hide and protect it when not in use.

For a ball mount I recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989900 which will not only give you options but also a storage bag for when you have the hitch covered to keep... view full answer...
