  • Thank you so much for your purchase from etrailer of the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170.

  • How To Install the Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Trailer Brake Controller On a 2016 GMC Canyon
  • In order to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Trailer Brake Controller part # TK63VR on a 2016 GMC Canyon you will need to splice into wires as there is no plug under the dash for you to use. That said, the wires are already run for you so this will be super easy to do with just some butt connectors, part # DW05744-5. In order to do this you will need the Brake Control Plug-In Harness part # 20127.

  • Baseplate Installation for a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  • I'd say that if you set aside an afternoon to the install of the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-521446-4 on your 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk you would have no problem installing it since you said you have a fair mechanical aptitude. I attached an FAQ on flat-towing for you to check out also. If your Cherokee has 4 wheel drive or the Active Drive II system, to maintain the vehicle's stable steering while being flat towed you will want to install the Mopar accessory kit 68321424AB, available...

  • Could Camco Low Pressure Conversion Kit # CAM57638 Fit Kuuma Stow and Go 160
  • I looked up your Kuuma stow and go 160 and found that it can be used with a throwaway style propane tank or with a quick disconnect to an RV propane source which is what the # CAM57638 does come with. You wouldn't need the knob that comes with it as what you have now should already have that.

  • Difference Between Adaptive and Non-Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Adaptive cruise control is something fairly new to the auto industry and is when your vehicle has a setting that basically matches the pace of the vehicle in front of you (speeds up and slows down as the vehicle in front of you does). Non-Adaptive cruise control is just standard cruise control where you set your vehicle to a speed and it keeps going that speed until you step the gas or brake pedal, or you turn it off. It looks like you were checking out some flat towing equipment for a...

  • Brake Controller Install Instructions for 2016 GMC Canyon
  • Yes, the Primus IQ Brake Controller part # TK90160 will install the exact same as the following instructions: According to my research, the 2016 Colorado/Canyon with the factory 7-way won't have a plug under the dash for installing a brake controller, but there will be bare tow package wires that you can wire the brake controller directly to. The tow package wiring is located behind the left kick panel, as you suspected. The wiring pigtail that came with your brake controller would wire...
