Expert Answers about Cadillac Escalade
- Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Cadillac Escalade 4WD
- The 4WD 2017 Cadillac Escalade can indeed be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground.
In order to flat tow the vehicle behind your RV you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, a supplemental braking system, and most likely a high-low adapter to keep the tow bar level.
Starting with the base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect # RM-523179-5, which is custom designed for your Escalade and uses hidden brackets that maintain a clean...

- Considering the weight of your trailer (7,500 pounds) I recommend going with a slightly larger cooler, # D13504, which will provide more cooling than a smaller model.

- The transmission cooler I recommend for your 2019 Cadillac Escalade is the Derale part # D13504 because it's a plate fin style cooler and is larger in size at 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep which means it will be very efficient at keeping your transmission fluid cool.
I attached an install video for this cooler on a similar GM SUV for you to check out too.
view full answer... - Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2012 Cadillac Escalade
- Hands down I recommend a proportional controller. Proportional controllers apply the trailer brakes in proportion to how much your 2012 Cadillac Escalade is braking. So if you brake hard, it will apply more voltage to the trailer brakes to match. Same thing with light braking, the controller will match.
Time delay controllers send back a pre-determined amount of voltage that ramps up over a set period of time no matter what the braking situation is. The benefit though is that time delay...
view full answer... - Tire Chain Recommendation for 2008 Cadillac Escalade with Tire Size 265/65-18
- We have tire chains that fit your tire size of 265/65-18 but the Titan chains part # TC2524 are not them. Instead you would need any of the chains at the attached link.
The Glacier Twist Link chains part # PWH2228SC are a fit and will have a smoother ride quality due to the link design.
Be sure to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any tire chain restrictions.
view full answer... - Best Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Cadillac Escalade
- The brake controller I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac Escalade is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR because this brake controller senses the amount of braking you are applying on your vehicle and applies a proportional amount on the trailer brakes. It also has a very small knob that gets mounted basically anywhere you want on your dash or console. I attached a picture of what it will look like installed.
To install it all you need is the custom fit install...

- Since you are towing a travel trailer, I recommend using a weight distribution system to combat the rear end sag you are experiencing on your 2006 Cadillac Escalade. The weight distribution system works to distribute the trailer's tongue weight between the two axles of your Escalade, rather than a traditional hitch ball and ball mount that place all of the trailer's tongue weight on the back axle. Based on the information I found in the 2006 Escalade owner's manual, Cadillac recommend the...
view full answer... - Towing Capacity of 2014 Cadillac Escalade Premium
- I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2014 Cadillac Escalade and found that it features a towing capacity of either 8,300 pounds for the 2WD model or 8,100 pounds for the AWD model. I do still recommend verifying this by checking your copy of the manual but based on this information your Escalade can absolutely pull your Lund Pro Boat that weighs up to 4,362 pounds (as long as the weight of the trailer itself doesn't push the combined weight over the vehicle's...

- The most low-profile roof rack option we offer for a 2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV is the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbar System composed of part # TH76FE, part # TH89SC, and part # TH95JW. These aero shaped bars will blend in very well with the vehicle and provide very minimal wind resistance. They will work great with pretty much any cargo box whether that be one from Thule, Yakima, Rhino-Rack, Inno etc.
I recommend first installing the roof rack and then measuring from the top of the crossbar...

Please check your owners manual and see what procedures that need to be followed for flat towing your Cadillac Escalade EXT.

view full answer... - 2010 Cadillac Escalade Still Sags with Weight Distribution System
- A weight distribution system is really only designed to gain back half of the squat. For example, if the distance from the ground to the center or the rear wheel well is 40" while uncoupled for the trailer and 36" while coupled to the trailer without a weight distribution system then adding one is only designed to get you back to 38".
If you still seek further leveling then I recommend adding a set of suspension enhancements such as the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part #...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2015 Shasta Reissue Airflyte 19
- The weight distribution system I recommend for your trailer and Cadillac Escalade is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # RP66082. The vintage style of your trailer is more prone to crosswinds and passing vehicles so this system is the best for actively working to prevent sway. You will also need the hitch ball # A-6 for a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball or # A-90 for a 2 inch hitch ball.
The Husky # HT32217 is too big a system...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Brake Controller and Harness for 2006 Cadillac Escalade
- For your 2006 Cadillac Escalade, I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This is an excellent, proportional controller that will activate the trailer's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your Escalade. It features an easy to read LCD display, storable settings, and continuous diagnostics that will alert you to any potential issues. This unit is well known for its reliability and ease of use.

- It's hard to come up with a rack that covers everything you want perfectly but for a bike rack that is very easy to load and unload and doesn't require a bike frame adapter you'd want a platform bike rack like the Saris Freedom part # SA4414B but the drawback here is they are typically a little heavier which this one is the lightest option we have in this style at 53 lbs. If you can get past the weight this would be option that would make you the happiest.

- I have a solution for you. Even if you have a charge line to your battery in the 2019 Escalade, there is a risk that the motorhome will actually drain the battery when the Escalade gets to low on power.
I recommend using the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System # RM-766. It is going to give you the easiest disconnect, just a push of a button. When you are ready to restore power just put the button again.
