Expert Answers about Chevrolet TrailBlazer


  • Recommended Towing Mirror for a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer
  • I recommend using the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror, part # KS3891, for your 2002 Chevrolet Tralblazer. Since there isn't a custom towing mirror got your Trailblazer, this would be your best option. This single mirror can fit on either your driver or passenger mirror. If you are wanting to put a mirror on both driver and passenger mirrors then you can either buy 2 of the towing mirrors, part # KS3891, or what I recommend using are the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors, part...

  • Weight Distribution System for Towing with 2004 Chevy TrailBlazer
  • There isn't a replacement hitch available for your 2004 Chevy TrailBlazer that has a higher capacity so the only option you have would be a weight distribution system to give you the higher capacities. The Fastway e2 kit part # FA92-00-0600 would work great for you as it has a tongue weight range of 250-600 lbs. Since it's a boat trailer you'll also need a pole tongue adapter # EQ95-01-5950.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution For a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer Towing 5400 Pound Trailer
  • For a trailer with 750 pounds tongue weight, I recommend a system rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds. In addition to the trailer tongue weight, you have to add top that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. That can increase the tongue weight so the wide range of 600 to 1,200 pound systems is the best bet. If you like the Reese systems, you can use # 49570. The only thing you will need to add to this system is a properly sized ball for the coupler. For a 2 inch...

  • What Ski and Snowboard Rack is Recommended for a Chevy Trailblazer
  • If you have a factory roof rack on your Trailblazer, I would suggest using Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard carrier, part # TH7326. The rack uses Thules Speed Link fastening system to clamp right on your factory roof rack cross bars and it will hold up to 6 skis or 4 snowboards without any tools needed. To see a product video featuring the Thule SnowPack, click on the provided link. If your Trailblazer does not have the factory roof rack, please respond with the model year of your vehicle...

  • Recommendation for Maintaining 1999 Jayco Pop Up Campers Battery While Towing
  • I have a solution for you to maintain your trailer's battery while towing, but we do not offer an aux socket adapter for your battery charger from Schumacher. There is not a great way to charge your trailer's battery while towing, but you can provide the battery a maintenance charge so the trailer battery won't drain while being towed. One way to provide a maintenance charge to your trailer's battery while towing is to use a 7-Way trailer connector and 7-Way vehicle connector to provide...

  • Replacement Brake Controller Recommendation for Tekonsha Voyager that Won't Level
  • If the leveling of your brake controller isn't working properly that wouldn't indicate a problem with the vehicle. Instead that would indicate the controller is either not level side to side or has an internal problem. This is actually the second Voyager I've seen in the past couple days with this exact problem. The other guy ended up determining it was an internal problem and had to replace his. For a brake controller replacement I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part...

  • Will CIPA Universal Tow Mirrors # 40375-2 Fit 2006 Chevy Trailblazer
  • The CIPA mirrors part # 40375-2 are designed to be universal and fit as many vehicle mirrors as possible. I checked out the mirrors of your 2006 Chevy TrailBlazer and they would work fine with this mirror set.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2008 Chevy Trailblazer
  • For your 2008 Chevy Trailblazer you are going to need to use a universal style towing mirror like the K Source Universal Towing part # 11953 (sold individually) or the Clip-On Mirror we offer from K-Source, part # KS3891 that I like better, as I believe its ratcheting straps make for a more secure connection. You can see a product demonstration video of both these mirrors by clicking the provided link. The Original Custom Towing Mirror Slide-On Mirrors # CTM1600 that you referenced are...

  • Availability of Adapter to Connect Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Base Plates
  • Blue Ox Base Plates, such as the Base Plate Kit # BX1709 that is confirmed to fit your 2007 Chevy TrailBlazer, are designed for use with motor home mounted tow bars only. Since the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-583 that you referenced is a coupler/vehicle mounted tow bar, there is not an adapter available that will allow it to fit the Blue Ox Base Plates on your vehicle. Since you already have Blue Ox base plates installed on your vehicle, your best option will be to go with a Blue...

  • Do Transmission Coolers Affect Cooling Capacity of Radiator
  • Putting a transmission cooler in front of the radiator will very slightly reduce the cooling capacity of the radiator that is on the vehicle. However, most radiators are more than adequate for the vehicle they are installed on so when you reduce their efficiency it goes unnoticed since the radiator was overkill for the vehicle.

  • Brake Controllers and Weight Distribution for a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer
  • As long as your 2004 Chevy Trailblazer has factory installed 7-way wiring I recommend the Tekonsha PRODIGY Brake Controller P2 - Proportional # 90885. I have included an image and a video that show installation procedures. The tow package wires are located beneath the steering column to the left of the brake pedal, and they are bundled with white tape. For weight distribution there are products for sway control only, weight distribution only, or both sway control and weight distribution....

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer
  • First you will need to start with a base plate kit, for that you would want the Roadmaster XL Kit part # 3109-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy TrailBlazer Towing a Jayco Travel Trailer
  • For your new Jayco trailer and Chevy Trailblazer, I recommend the Fastway E2 Round Bar Weight Distribution Kit, # FA94-00-0600. It is a little more economical, includes sway control, and it comes with the adjustable shank. You would just need a properly sized ball like # 19286 (2-5/16 inch diameter) or # A-90 (2 inch diameter). This system has a tongue weight capacity range of 200 to 600 pounds so the 470 pounds max on the trailer will fit nicely in the middle of that range. I have included...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System to Reduce Sway and Vehicle Sag with Pop Up Camper
  • From the white-knuckle driving trips you described, to the weight of your camper, I definitely recommend installing a weight distribution system with sway control. A properly rated system will absolutely resolve the exact issues you are experiencing and they can typically be used on pop-up campers without issue. Whether on a pop-up camper or standard travel trailer, you should always check with the trailer manufacturer just to be sure it is rated for use with a weight distribution system....

  • Weight Distribution And Transmission Cooler Recommendation For 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer
  • Anytime you plan on towing a trailer that weighs 50 percent or more of the towing vehicle weight, like your 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer it is a good idea to add weight distribution with sway control. This helps eliminate the stress on both the towing vehicle and the trailer suspension. I am attaching a helpful article that explains weight distribution and what is needed. I am also including a helpful article that explains how to find the tongue weight of your trailer. You need to know...

  • Brake Controller, Trans Cooler & Weight Distribution Recommendations for 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  • We can help you ready your 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer for towing your 3K-lb trailer through mountainous terrain.

This advanced and reliable controller includes many user-friendly features such as an easy-read display, automatic leveling and storable settings. These are why this unit is so highly-rated by our customers. If your TrailBlazer has a factory-installed 7-way trailer socket at the rear...

  • Is a Weight Distribution System Needed for a 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Towing a Coachman Freedom
  • I did a bit of research and the 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer weighs in at somewhere around 4,500 lbs, depending on equipment. As a general rule anytime you are towing a trailer that weighs greater than 50 percent of the vehicles total weight, trailer brakes and weight distribution are recommended. You should check your TrailBlazer and hitch weight ratings to determine the actual towing capacity for your specific vehicle. The weight distribution system you referred to, # 66557, would not...

  • Does Optrionics RV Dome Light ILL36CB Have Built In Light Switch?
  • The Optronics Opti-Brite LED RV Dome Light # ILL36CB you were looking at does not include a light switch, so to operate this light you will need to add one like the # 37212225. An easier option is the # 328-001-902XPW which has a switch built in to the light. I included a video of the # 328-001-902XPW for you to take a look at.

  • When Using Curt Cargo Carrier in 1-1/4 inch Hitch is Same Hitch Pin Used
  • When using the Curt hitch carrier part # C18110 in a 1-1/4 inch hitch you'd need to take off the 2 inch hitch adapter on the end of the shank. This will allow it to fit the smaller hitch size. The same threaded hitch pin gets used whether you use the 2 inch adapter or not as the shank has threads in it that the bolt threads too which allows the bolt to lock it against the hitch tube.
