Expert Answers about Cadillac


  • Adapter Needed to Clear Bumper of 1995 Cadillac Seville SLS
  • I'm not completely understanding why you're needing an adapter, and why it'd need to reach around the bumper. Which hitch are you using? I'd recommend using the Curt Class II receiver hitch, part # C12054. I'd recommend simply using a cargo carrier that's designed for a 1-1/4 inch receiver like the 20x48 Curt cargo carrier, part # C18110. Using an adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force that can be safely applied to hitch) by half. You'll avoid this...

  • Correct Hub Assembly for Dexter 8-258 Hub and 13-Inch Wheels
  • With axle 8-258, your bearings are either # L44643 or # L44649. # L44643 bearings have an inner diameter of 1 inch, while bearings # L44649 have an inner diameter of 1.063 inches. You can locate the bearing numbers on the bearings themselves, or you can measure the diameter using the image I've attached. We offer two hub assembly kits with # L44643 bearings. Item # 8-258BTUC1 is the standard hub assembly kit, which includes lug nuts, inner bearings and race, outer bearings and race, grease...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7 Way and Brake Controller for 2013 Cadillac CTS
  • If you've already got a 4 flat like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56044 on your 2013 Cadillac CTS then in order to add a 7 way connector you'll want to use the # ETBC7L. The # ETBC7L is designed to work with wireless brake controllers, so I recommend using the Curt Echo # C51180 which is controlled by smartphones running iOS 8.0 or newer, or Android 4.4 or newer. The Echo plugs into the # ETBC7L and accepts the trailer's 7 way plug to...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2016 Cadillac Escalade
  • Along with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1716 and the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380 there are a couple more parts you need in order to safely flat tow your 2016 Cadillac Escalade. Since the Alpha comes with safety chains we can check that off the list but you will also need a wiring kit in order to activate your Escalade's brake lights and turn signals. For that the best option is the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267, or you can simply add magnetic...

  • Will the SportRack Horizon Roof Box Fit on a 2017 Cadillac XTS
  • As long as you've got a roof rack system on your 2017 Cadillac XTS, you can use the SportRack Horizon # SR7016, which fits on virtually any crossbar shape. It doesn't look like the XTS came with anything other than a naked roof (no side rails or factory crossbars), so you may need the "extra supports" you mentioned if those are not present. If you don't have a roof rack system on your vehicle, you will need to add one. For that I recommend using the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked...

  • Best Hitch and Complete Towing Package for 2015 Cadillac SRX AWD
  • Congrats on your vehicle purchase! A complete towing package includes a trailer hitch receiver, wiring, a ball mount, pin and clip and a ball. For your 2015 Cadillac SRX AWD I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75682. This provides you with a 2-inch receiver which not only accepts a larger variety of accessories over the 1-1/4 option, but it also has a higher towing capacity at 4,000 lbs and 400 tongue weight which is plenty enough for the 2,800 lb trailer...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT with All Wheel Drive AWD
  • The 2004 Cadillac Escalade AWD can be flat towed by using a transmission lube pump from Remco Towing. You will also need base plates, a tow bar, safety chains, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster XL base plates, # 199-5. These base plates are compatible with numerous Roadmaster tow bars and the draw bars can be removed when not towing the vehicle. For a compatible tow bar, I recommend the RoadMaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-422....

  • Does WeatherTech Make Gray Floor Mats For The 2023 Cadillac XT6
  • For your 2023 Cadillac XT6 we have the # WTW418GR for the front mats in gray, and the # WT45MV for the 2nd row. I am not sure why they would have told you that they do not make grey mats. These matts are listed on the WeatherTech website as well as our site. They offer them in black, cocoa, tan and gray.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Cadillac SRX or 2007 Ford Edge Behind a Motor Home
  • In order to determine if your vehicles can be flat towed and if there are any special requirements (such as a specific transmission or engine) you will want to consult your vehicle owner's manuals. To flat tow either vehicle you will need 5 main components: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and a supplemental braking system. Base plates for the Cadillac SRX: # 3125-3. Base plates for the Ford Edge: # 4408-1. Compatible tow bar for either vehicle: Falcon # RM-520. Safety...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2013 Cadillac SRX
  • It sounds like you are wanting to flat tow your 2013 Cadillac SRX behind your RV. For a supplemental braking system, I really like the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. This proportional system will activate as soon as your RV's brake lights go on and apply the brakes in your Cadillac with the same intensity that you are braking with inside the RV. It is a one-time setup, meaning you will not need to remove or activate anything each time you tow. The actual operating unit and actuating cylinder...

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for Flat Towing 2014 Cadillac SRX
  • The correct Roadmaster base plate kit for your 2014 Cadillac SRX is the Roadmaster part # RM-523162-4. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. For braking you don't use a standard brake controller like when towing and instead you use supplemental braking which is a similar concept but different. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is...

  • 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...

  • Locating Brake Stop Lamp Signal To Install Brake Controller on 2013 Cadillac SRX
  • I don't have any information about which wire color you're needing, but what you're looking for is the wire that only shows signal with the brake pedal pushed. In a situation where the brake stoplight switch isn't easily accessible, or can't be found I'd recommend installing an auxiliary switch like the part # RM-751441 offered by Roadmaster. These switches are typically used for flat towing a vehicle, but they'll also work perfectly for this purpose. The switch is simple to install and...

The Quick-Disconnect is easy to install and remove from you vehicle once you have completed your need for flat towing.

  • Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer with Brakes Using a 2002 Cadillac Escalade
  • In order to tow a trailer with a 2002 Cadillac Escalade you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, ball mount/hitch ball, and if the trailer has brakes a brake controller. It sounds like you might already have a trailer hitch but if not or you are looking to upgrade I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 14080 which offers super easy bolt-on installation and has the highest rating available, class IV.

  • Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2020 Cadillac Escalade
  • I recommend installing the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523179-5 on your 2020 Cadillac Escalade. This will require cutting 3 holes in the lower fascia of your front bumper for the mechanical and electrical connections. The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 is their best selling tow bar. The aluminum and stainless steel construction provides for superior corrosion resistance over several years of use. You may need a High-Low adapter like the...
