• Curt Class V Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4
  The Curt Class V Hitch part # C15323 that you referenced has been confirmed by Curt to fit your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4, crew cab, short bed truck. This hitch should work well for you. I attached installation instructions for you to check out. Most likely you have trailer wiring, but if yours is damaged you would want the Pollak 7-Way part # PK11916. I attached an install video for this product. For a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip, I would recommend the etrailer Ball...

• Replacement 7-Way Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500
  The Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK11916 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 so it would work well as a replacement. It will need to be mounted to the twist in 7-way port at the rear of your truck and then the connector for the 7-way behind the bumper will need to get plugged into it. I attached an install video that shows this as well.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendations for 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500, 2500, or 3500
  You did not mention if your 2013 Chevy Silverado was a 1500, 2500, or 3500 so I can provide recommendations for all 3. For a 1500 I recommend Curt trailer hitch # 14301. There is no drilling or trimming required for installation of this hitch. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. For a 2500 or 3500 series short bed I recommend B&W hitch # BWHDRH25601. Again there is no drilling or trimming required. The version for long bed models is # BWHDRH25600 and there is...

• Does a Curt Trailer Hitch # 14301 Limit Access to the Spare Tire if Installed on 2013 Chevy 1500
  To install the Class IV Curt trailer hitch # 14301 on your 2013 Chevy 1500 you will need to temporarily remove the spare tire for accessibility to the hitch mounting locations. After installation is complete and the spare tire is re-installed you will not have any issues with accessibility or clearance around the full size spare tire when mounted in the factory location. I have included a photo of this hitch installed on a slightly older Chevy truck, and you can see that there is no interference...

• Installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in a 2015 Cadillac Escalade
  The 2015 Cadillac Escalade was available both with and without a factory tow package. A dealership may be able to run the vehicle VIN in their computer system to see how it is equipped. If it does have the factory tow package then you would use harness # 3016 to plug in the P2 brake controller # 90885. The harness plugs into a junction box located under the dash on the driver's side, up near the fire wall above the carpeting. Take a look at the video I have linked that will help. If you...

• Compatibility of 7 Pole to 4 Way Adapter PK12716 with 7-Way Vehicle Connector PK11916
  Yes, the two Pollak parts you referenced are compatible. The Twist-In 7-Pole Vehicle Connector # PK11916 will work fine with the 7 Pole to 4 Way Adapter # PK12716. The adapter will fit the 7-way connector and provide you with a connector in the 4-pole trailer wiring format which includes basic lighting signals for stop, turn and tail lights. The signals for the other circuits on the 7-way (12V power, trailer brakes and reverse lights) will not be transmitted on the adapter's 4-pole output side.

• Where to Connect a Brake Controller in 2012 Cadillac Escalade
  Good question, and a 2012 Cadillac Escalade does not have a harness that will allow you to plug in a brake controller, but it does have the wires already run under the dash, regardless of if you have the factory 7-way or not. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see where the wires will be; this is a cut out from the linked installation video of the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160. This is from a 2009 Cadillac Escalade which is the same generation as...

• Adding a 7-Way Blade Style Trailer Connector to a 2010 Chevy Silverado
  The 2010 Chevy Silverado could have fuses or relays that will need to be added in order to make the 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle functional. You can check the fuse/relay legend on the inside of the power distribution box lid to see what fuses or relays are needed, or find the information in your vehicle owners manual.

• Prodigy Brake Controller Installation Instruction for 2009 Chevy Suburban
  The installation procedure for the GM full size trucks would be identical to the procedure you will use to install a brake controller in your 2009 Chevy Suburban. The tow package wiring is located under the dash, to the left of the steering column. The blue tow package wire connects to the blue wire on your Prodigy, the blue and white tow package wire connects to the red wire on the Prodigy, the red tow package wire connects to the black wire on the brake controller, and the white ground...

• Will Adapter PK12716 Work With a 2008 Chevy Pickup Towing a Boat Trailer
  Yes, adapter PK12716 will fit your 2008 Chevrolet Pickup factory plug as long as it is a 7-way plug. It should look similar to part # PK11916. It would have no problem connecting to the 4-way flat plug on your boat trailer. However, I do recommend double checking the style of your trailer plug, as 5-way plugs are very common on boat trailers. If you have a 5-way plug, it would look similar to part # HM37908. If you do happen to need a 7-way to 5-way adapter, you could use part #...

• Is there a Mounting Bracket for Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector PK11916
  Because the Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector, # PK11916, is designed to fit in the cutout in the bumper of your truck, it does not have a mounting bracket specific for it. You could replace the connector with # PK11893 and use mounting bracket # PK12711U or you can try to use one of the mounting brackets in the link I have provided.

  As long as your 2007 Chevy Silverado has a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector, the Hopkins Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter, # HM47675, is compatible. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. If the truck did not come with a 7-Way and you want to add one, you can use # PK11916, or, for a multi-tow with 7-Way and 4-Way functions, use # HM40975. Once a 7-Way is installed you will be able to use the adapter.

• Tow Package Recommendation for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Sounds like you are looking for everything you would need to tow a travel trailer that weighs 4,800 lbs. First you would need to start with a hitch if you do not have one already. The Curt part # 13322 is the most popular option we offer. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

• Troubleshooting Hopkins Brake Controller that Activates Trailer Brakes All the Time
  Since your brake controller is a Hopkins brake controller my initial reaction is that the controller has an internal problem as they are notorious for shorting out and behaving strangely. We can test your setup though to determine if the problem happens to be the wiring or the controller. Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like...

• How to Install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 on a 2009 Chevy Avalanche
  Since manufacturers don't always stick to a specific wire color it is best to use a Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to figure out which functions on the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 need to be connected with which wires on your 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche. I am attaching a video of this brake controller being installed on a 2013 Avalanche that you can use as a reference. If you notice in the video, the wires that we connect to the brake controller differ in color from what you said that you have. If...

• Replacement Trailer Axle For Dexter Torsion 3,500 lb Axle
  We don't carry the torsion axle replacements, but if you want the exact replacement you will want the #10 Torflex Torsion Axle. I do have a replacement option if you are interested in an alternative. You can use the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 2" Lift Spindle - Standard Tires - 3,500 lbs # TASR35HDS07 which uses a 2 inch square tube (not included) in the integrated holes. This mounts directly to the trailer frame and has the integrated suspension.

• 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2005 Chevy TrailBlazer
  For a 7-way that would install in the bracket of your 2005 Chevy Trailblazer the part # PK11916 would work well as long as you have the harness for the 7-way. However, since your vehicle does not have a trailer connection currently you would need a few more components to install a brake controller and make the 7-way functional. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 1191250KIT. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way...
