- Class III Hitch & Weight Distribution System for 2005 Cadillac SRX Towing 5000-lb Travel Trailer
- Both the Curt # C13050 and Draw-Tite # 75174 Class III round tube hitches for your 2005 Cadillac SRX share identical capacities and installation steps so between them I'd go for the Curt since it costs a bit less. The phrase 'max frame' is marketing terminology and does not denote any special feature or capability. Hitches with round versus square cross tubes are sometimes considered to have more eye appeal on passenger cars, but this is purely a cosmetic matter.

- The Curt # C13050 and Draw-Tite # 75174 are very similar in design. The Draw-Tite model isn't listed as a fit for Sport Package equipped models, but the Curt hitch is a fit. If your SRX isn't the Sport model, that won't be a consideration and you could choose either htich. Both hitches have the same capacity and would install in a similar manner.
The crosstube and recevier tube of either hitch will be visible under the rear bumper.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you might need the...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System for A 2006 Cadillac Escalade Towing a 7000 lb Carmate Trailer
- Weight distribution systems are selected according to the tongue weight of the trailer being towed. For a 7000 lb capacity Carmate trailer your tongue weight fully loaded and ready to tow should be somewhere between 700 and 850 lbs. A weight distribution system with a tongue weight capacity between 600 and 1,200 lbs like the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System, item # BXW1000, or the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System, item # RP66084, would be the proper choice for a system...

- All of the hitches available for the 2008 Cadillac CTS have the same characteristics in terms of towing and tongue weight capacity. Each hitch has a 2000 pound towing capacity and 200 pound tongue weight capacity.
Where they differ is the towing components included with the hitch. The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 24767, which is the lower priced hitch, does not include a drawbar, pin or clip. The Curt Hitch, part # 11307, which is the highest priced hitch for your vehicle includes a...

- The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRG25C can be installed in conjunction with the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60769 but I do not recommend it. Installing both the Timbren's and AirlIft bags would create an extremely stiff suspension which would be rather bouncy and uncomfortable. Instead, I would stick with the AirLift bags as long as the tongue weight of your trailer does not exceed 1,000 lbs. If the tongue weight of your trailer does...

- The 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches # 63155 has a 3 inch shank rise with no additional mounting height, and it sits 11 inches away from the center of the hitch pin hole. Both of these measures will give you room for dissipation of heat prior to the carrier.
I don't believe you will have heat issues with this carrier based on the exhaust location on your 2017 Mazda CX-5.
You may also want to consider a cable lock like # e98891 to further secure your cargo.

- The Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 # RM-422 comes with just the tow bar, although one feature it does have is cable guides to protect your safety cables and wiring. The Blackhawk 2 has a shipping weight of 64 lbs, so its weight will pretty close to that.

- One of my colleagues has found that the difference between the 9006 and the 9006xs bulbs is the type of base the light has. A 9006 bulb will have a 90 degree angle base whereas the XS bulb will have a straight base. For example, compare 9006 bulb # VX-L9006 with XS bulb # VX-L9006XS.
Certain vehicles require a certain style so you cannot interchange them. I have included a link to all of the lights we have for a 2006 Cadillac CTS.
A 9145 bulb is the same as an H10 like the Vision X H10...

- Though we do have the Pro Series Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack - Bolt On - Topwind - 10" Lift - 2,000 lbs # PS1400300303 that will have a 11 inch retracted height, it will be quite the different jack and does not include a wheel.

- The Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13002 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch part # 75682 are both great options for a 2013 Cadillac SRX. They both offer a bolt-on install with 2" receiver tube opening and class III rating.
