Expert Answers about Cadillac XT5


  • Towing a 2017 Cadillac XT5 Behind Motorhome
  • Yes you can dolly tow your 2017 Cadillac XT5 if it's equipped properly. I looked up the owners manual and it says if it's equipped with the Driver Control Mode and it's in Tour Mode it can be dolly towed with a dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Self-Steering Wheels and Electric Brakes #RM-2050-1 you referenced. I linked the dolly, and included a couple of review videos for you to check out..

  • Can 2019 Cadillac XT5 be Towed on Tow Dolly
  • I did some checking and the front wheel drive versions of the 2019 Cadillac XT5 can be towed on a tow dolly like the Roadmaster dolly part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced but the all wheel drive versions need to be towed on a tow dolly. I'd recommend going with a front wheel drive XT5 then and you'd be able to tow it with a dolly then. Front wheel drive vehicles tend to get better gas mileage than all wheel drive ones as well.

  • Low Profile Roof Rack that Fits 2021 Cadillac XT5
  • The lowest profile roof rack that fits your 2021 Cadillac XT5 is the Rhino Rack RVP roof rack part number # RR67QJ as it's a flush bar setup which means the crossbars do not extend past the feet and instead install to the inside of them which allows them to sit lower.

  • Roof Rack for 2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum
  • In regards to vehicles that have a trailer hitch - which would be put on at the factory - some of them can be removed, but some are welded on, and there is unfortunately no way for us to know which vehicles have welded hitches. Additionally, there is not a fit for a trailer hitch fit for a 2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum which would allow you to replace it. The roof rack is another story and that can be removed on a '19 XT5 Platinum. The roof rack on this vehicle (which I checked out and you...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Cadillac XT5 with Class II Hitch and 2 Trek Navigator 200 Bikes
  • For your 2017 Cadillac XT5 with Class II trailer hitch I recommend the new Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT # TH92BJ. This rack is more versatile that its predecessor since Thule did away with the frame hooks and went to frame clamps instead which have more adjustability. This rack weighs 35 pounds.

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendation for 2019 Cadillac XT5
  • For your 2019 Cadillac XT5 the Rhino Rack RVP roof rack part # RR67QJ that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would be a great option for carrying a cargo box. This is a sleek and quiet roof rack that's well made and easy to install without the higher price tags of other options. It would be a great option to carry a larger cargo box like the Thule Motion XT part # TH629907 that can carry up to 22 cubic feet of storage space.

  • Determining Fifth Wheel Turning Clearance
  • I can certainly help shed some light on the situation. I also am not aware of any app that calculates turning clearance. If only it were so easy right? If you have the option to purchase a long bed truck, that would be preferred. That way you will never have to worry about clearance. Also, GMC offers an OEM 5th wheel prep package, which would make your life a lot easier. Otherwise you will need to install a rail kit like the # BWRVK2505. The official answer is- "it depends". Generally...

  • Where Does Curt Trailer Wiring Harness C56325 Install on a 2017 Cadillac XT5
  • The Curt wiring harness # C56325 is designed to replace the factory 4-Way flat on models of the 2017 Cadillac XT5 that came with a 4-Way connector from the factory. You can check on your XT5 to see if it has the factory connector to plug the Curt harness into. The factory harness should be located behind the rear bumper about in the center of the vehicle. I have included a link to a video below of a difference harness that installs the same way so you can use it as a guide to locate the...

  • Parts Included With etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR for a 2022 Cadillac XT5
  • Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR will include the 6 fish wires to install the six 7/16" carriage bolts and square hole spacers. I recommend installing either the Tekonsha 4-Way Flat # 118720 or 7-Way # 118276 when you install the receiver on your 2022 Cadillac XT5. These will connect to the factory wiring and allow you to connect different trailers. The 4-way will work on most small trailers while the 7-way will be needed on larger trailers which use electric brakes. The...

  • How To Fit A Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring To a 2017 Cadillac XT5 Platinum Trim
  • I have a way you can install a receiver on your 2017 Cadillac XT5 as currently the only custom fit trailer hitch receivers available will not fit the Platinum trim. To use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR on your XT5 you will need to swap out the Platinum lower trim panel for one of the removable trim panels found on the other models of the XT5. You will need to contact a dealer for these parts new or check with local salvage yards for the parts you need. The T-One Vehicle...

  • What Valve Stem Will Fit The 8" Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20016 And Is Safe To Use Up To 100psi?
  • The Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20016 has a 0.453" diameter opening for a valve stem. Since you need up to 100psi I recommend using the Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906. This stem being metal is less likely to become damaged like rubber valve stems. The 5.70-8 Tires # AM10010(B), # AM10012(C) and # AM10013(D) we carry do require a 8" x 3-3/4" Wheel # AM20006. Other tire manufacturers may allow this same size tire to fit the wider wheel but I do not have a way to verify with every tire...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13285 Fit A 2020 Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13285 you were looking at is confirmed to fit all models of the 2020 Cadillac XT5 and will fit perfectly on your XT5 Premium Luxury model. The # C13285 has a tongue weight rating of 750lbs, and a trailer weight rating of 5000lbs making it a great option for a bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack # TH934XTR, a cargo carrier, or even a ball mount for towing a trailer. If you can tell me...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit for 2018 Cadillac XT5
  • A trailer hitch from a 2013 Cadillac SRX will not fit your 2018 Cadillac XT5, which means you will need a new hitch. The hitch I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac XT5 is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR. I like this hitch above the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13285 because the Draw-Tite has slightly better ground clearance than the Curt, which is important to keep things like accessories from hitting the ground. I have added a photo showing with this hitch looks like on a 2018 XT5...

  • Shank Adapter for a Kuat 1-1/4 inch Bike Rack
  • You can adapt most Kuat racks with their Shank Adapter, part # D101. This will enlarge your shank from 1-1/4 inch to a 2 inch shank. This adapter is compatible with the Alpha, Beta, NV 2.0, NV Base 2.0, Sherpa, and Sherpa 2.0 racks from Kuat. It is NOT compatible with the Kuat NV 1.0/Original bike racks.

  • Does Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Fit 2017 Cadillac XT5
  • I took a look at the clearances for you of the Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack, and it will definitely be able to fit your 2017 Cadillac XT5 with either of the trailer hitch receivers that fit your car, the etrailer # e62AR, or the one you asked about, the Curt # C13285. The NV 2.0 is one of the best bike racks available because of how easy it is to use, its integrated lock system, and the fact it can carry even heavy bikes with its 60 lb per-bike capacity. The NV 2.0 is available in two different...
