Expert Answers about GMC Acadia


  • Where is Brake Controller Install Connector on a 2010 GMC Acadia
  • The brake controller install harness needed for a 2010 GMC Acadia is the part # 3026-P. This adapter plugs into the 6-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. I attached a picture that points it out. If you have a round connector under the rear of your vehicle and need a 7-way to plug into it the part # HM40975 will fit...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2015 GMC Acadia
  • By law your trailer has to have functioning lights. It would not be a problem if you were moving the boat and trailer around on your own property but out on the road you have to have lights. To add a 4-Way trailer connector to your 2015 GMC Acadia you can use # 119250KIT.

  • Tire Chains Recommendation for a 2007 GMC Acadia with P255/60R19 Bridgestone Blizzak Snow Tires
  • First thing you need to do is check the owners manual of your 2007 GMC Acadia to see if there are any restrictions on snow chain usage. If you can use chains the manual will list which axles the chains should be installed on. For a set of chains confirmed to fit your tire size I would go with the Glacier V-Bar Snow Tire Chains # PWH2828SC. These will provide you with great traction and will last you a long time.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Towing Trailer with 1,200 Pounds Tongue Weight
  • To determine the correct weight distribution system you'll need to add the 1,200 pounds of tongue weight of your loaded trailer to the amount of weight you have stored behind your Chevy's rear axle. That figure needs to be within the range of the system you choose. Once you add those together the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66561, rated for 1,400 pounds of tongue weight, is a great option. It uses automotive friction pads for sway control. For a hitch ball use # 19286. Another great option,...

  • Can 2018 GMC Acadia Denali with Adaptive Cruise Control be Flat Towed
  • I did some checking on the flat towability (I think that's a word) on your 2018 GMC Acadia and found that as long as yours has the V6 engine size it's flat towable as long as you follow the guidelines in the owners manual. There was no exceptions to this based on adaptive cruise control. The four cylinder models would need to be towed on a tow dolly like the # RM-2050-1. So for a base plate kit you'd want the part # RM-523189-5 which is the easiest to connect and disconnect from. I attached...

  • Recommended Towing Mirror For 2015 GMC Acadia
  • You are correct that we do not currently offer any custom fit towing mirrors for your 2015 GMC Acadia. The universal fit towing mirror that I recommend for your Acadia is the K-Source Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990. This part number includes a pair of mirrors, one each for the driver's and passenger's sides. The dual lens helps expand your view of the road and your trailer. Ratcheting straps are another great feature of these mirrors, offering a snug fit to help reduce mirror vibration....

  • Recommended 2 Bike Trunk Rack for 2009 GMC Acadia
  • It sounds like you're likely looking for a trunk mounted bike rack, so I recommend using the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH88VR which is a confirmed fit on your 2009 GMC Acadia. The Gateway uses anti-sway cradles that securely hold bikes at 3 points, so this rack does a great job at minimizing sway during travel. I also really like that this rack comes with a cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack and a locking cable to secure the rack to the vehicle,...

  • Inexpensive Way To Carry Two Kayaks on a 2014 GMC Acadia
  • It sounds like you have raised side rails on your 2014 GMC Acadia and need a set of crossbars as well as a compatible kayak carrier. If that is the case then for a set of crossbars, there are few better options than the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 with price in mind. This system has tracks for use with channel mounted accessories as well as aero shaped bars for the least wind resistance. It also comes with locks. For a kayak carrier to haul two kayaks, you will want to use...

  • Install Time for Draw Tite Trailer Hitch 75528 on 2014 GMC Acadia
  • If you were local to us we could install the Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 for you and it we'd be able to do the install for free, but if you had to find someone local to you it would cost you an hour of shop time most likely. It's a really simple install. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well to give you an idea. Draw Tite estimates that this hitch would only take 30 minutes to install. Some shops might have an hour minimum for work but they'd most likely...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2006 Volvo XC90 and a 2011 GMC Acadia
  • I have very good news. Both the 2011 GMC Acadia and the 2006 Volvo XC90 can accept many of the same trunk mounted bike racks. I have included a link to the trunk mounts that will fit each of the vehicles for you. If you are looking for a 3 bike rack, I recommend the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV. This is a top tier rack and I bet your wife will like the fact that it is not only light weight (under 19 pounds) but also how quickly and easily it installs. This rack uses only 2 retractable cables,...

Not only can it hold up to 3 bikes, but it also has a locking system that secures your bikes to your rack and your rack to your vehicle to help deter theft. This rack is very easy to install and remove as well.

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains For 2016 GMC Acadia With Little Clearance
  • For your 2016 GMC Acadia with little to no clearance, you will definitely want class S compatible chains. There are three different size tire options for a factory Acadia, so I'll give you the best recommendation for each size. For 255/55-20 Tires, we currently do not have any Class S options. For 255/60-19 Tires, I recommend the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair # PW2028C. This is the only Class S option we have for this size tire, and they are a decent tire chain. They are...

  • Will Adding a Trailer Hitch to a 2010 GMC Acadia Damage the Frame
  • That's ludicrous, you can absolutely install a trailer hitch on a 2010 GMC Acadia without damaging the frame. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98863 is what I recommend, it offers a bolt-on fit without any drilling or welding. It's covered under a lifetime warranty as well. It installs in the same manor as the factory hitch that would have come on the vehicle if equipped with the factory tow package from the factory. There isn't any sort of extra bracing on models with the factory...

  • Recommended Replacement 20.5 8-10 Size Trailer Tires on 1992 Coleman Americana Sequoia
  • The metric sizing similar to your 20.5 8-10 is 205/65-10. Since your 1992 Coleman Americana Sequoia is fairly light, 1,550 pounds from what I found, I recommend going with part # AM3H390 which is a Load Range C tire rated for 1,100 pounds on a wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. These also have an 81 mph speed rating.

  • 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2015 GMC Acadia
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118270. You have two options now. If you don't have trailer brakes you would only need the part # 37185. Or you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller...
