  • How to Use the Curt Echo w/ a 2019 Cadillac XT5 w/ Factory Towing Package
  • Nope, not true at all. If your 2019 Cadillac XT5 came from the factory with a 7-way installed all you will need to do is plug in the Curt Echo item # C51180 and set it up. No additional wiring required. Some manufacturer's ship their vehicles without all the necessary towing fuses. GM is not one of them. If your power wire or ground wire isn't hooked up it's because someone removed them. I have linked an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get the...

  • Complete Wiring And Hitch For A 2020 Cadillac XT4
  • I went ahead and checked out the: -Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76266, and was able to find a hitch height of 18". Additionally, if you need help finding the correct rise/drop for your application, I'd be happy to assist. All you're going to need to do is measure the distance from the ground to the top of the receiver, then from the ground the bottom of the trailer coupler, and subtract the two measurements. The difference is the rise/drop you need. For instance, if...

  • What is the Best Hitch for a 2024 Cadillac XT4?
  • Congrats on the new vehicle! The best hitch for a 2024 Cadillac XT4 is the Curt item # C39FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Cadillac with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and a 400 lbs maximum tongue weight. The reason the Curt hitch item # C39FR is the best option is because it installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing. I have attached a couple of pictures...

  • Recommended 7-Way for a 2024 Cadillac XT4
  • To install a 7-Way harness on your 2024 Cadillac XT4 you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job. The first harness you'll need is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C44FR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Cadillac's wiring harness, which is located behind the center of the rear bumper. This will provide you with a 4-flat connector.

  • Selecting Weight Distribution System for Use with Trailer Towed by 2011 Cadillac Escalade
  • To ensure you can use a weight distribution hitch system on your 2011 Cadillac Escalade you'll just want to check the sticker on the vehicle's hitch. Look for a weight rating for weight distribution (or "WD") on the hitch's sticker. The hitch must be a 2-inch size that has a specific rating for use with WD systems. The real matching of the WD system relates to the trailer. The WD system needs to be selected based on the actual total tongue weight (TW) of the trailer when it is fully loaded....

  • Towing Capacity Of 2017 Cadillac XT5 Luxury AWD And Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e62AR and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13285 for your 2017 Cadillac XT5 are rated for capacity based only on the hitch, not the vehicle. You will be limited by the vehicle capacity, and not the capacity of the hitch. In this case, using either hitch with that large a trailer weight would void your warranty on the vehicle, but not the individual hitches.

  • Reason Why BulletProof Hitches Ball Mount Measurements Differ From etrailer Measurements
  • You are correct, the BulletProof website lists different measurements for the # MD206. In fact, this is true for all of their ball mounts. The reason for this is the way they measure which doesn't follow the standard. Rise is the distance from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform when the ball mount is oriented for greater coupler height. Drop is the distance from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform when the ball mount is oriented for lower coupler height....

  • 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...

  • What is the Maximum Air Pressure for Air Lift 1,000 Pound Capacity Air Helper Springs
  • According to the instructions which I have linked for you for Air Lift suspension enhancement # AL60769, the maximum air pressure is 35 psi and the minimum is 5 psi. Over-inflation and under-inflation can damage the air bags so you will always want to stay within the 5 to 35 psi range.

  • Hitch to carry mobility scooter and carrier
  • The Curt # C12115 is a fit for your 2018 Cadillac XTS, and without knowing anything about the carrier you'd be using, I'm not able to tell you what the vertical clearance would be. However, the issue you're going to run into is that my research tells me that the 2018 Cadillac XTS actually has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 100-lbs; this would mean that carrying 175-lbs on a hitch mounted cargo carrier is not an option. It should also be noted that using an adapter like the # HTAD to...

  • How Long Is the Flat Portion of the Redline Trailer Fender # HP49VR
  • The flat portion of the top of this Aluminum Tread Plate Trailer Fender # HP49VR that you referenced is 13 inches, the entire top of the fender is 16 inches. Check out the picture I attached to see this measurement. As long as you used plenty of bolts to securely install this fender to your trailer there is no reason you could not bolt it to your trailer instead of welding it.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for a 2018 Cadillac Escalade w/ 275/55-R20 Tires
  • I have a set that will work, however your 2018 Cadillac Escalade's owners manual says not to use tire chains because of clearance issues on the inner part of the tires. To avoid damaging brake lines and suspension pieces on the inside of your Escalade's wheel wells you'll need to use the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains item # KON84FR. The reason you can get away with using these is because they have a unique design where they mount on your tires using one of the lug nuts for the wheel. This...
