Depending on the length of your crossbars (if you have crossbars) on your 2007 GMC Envoy, I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S510 for your kayak and the Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Pads w/ Tie-Downs for Crossbars # RRRWP04 for your paddle board.
If you do not have crossbars, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - 48" # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars will give you the most length out of all of the confirmed fit roof racks in order to mount your kayak and paddle... view full answer...
I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 to tow your 2015 Forest River Rockwood Roo 19. The weight distribution helps to reduce rear end sag and keeps your 2008 GMC Envoy level when towing. This gives you improved steering feel and braking. It will also help to reduce trailer sway as the hitch has sway control built in. This hitch is rated for a trailer weighing up to 8,000lbs with a tongue weight of 400-800lbs. Your Roo has a dry tongue weight of 446lbs with... view full answer...
The most popular brake controller we offer is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. This is a proportional brake controller and activates the brakes on your trailer in direct proportion to the brakes on your towing vehicle.
I have attached a link to a video that shows how a brake controller is installed on an Envoy you can check out.
If by chance you do not have the connector at the rear of your vehicle let me know and I can make some recommendations for the components... view full answer...
Yes, as long as the owners manual of your 2003 GMC Envoy says it's okay to flat tow your vehicle you can use your Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar part # RM-522 with your RoadMaster BrakeMaster # RM-9100. Only additional part you would need regarding the braking system would be the seat bracket part # RM-88181.
Additionally you will need a base plate kit, for that you would want the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # 3108-1.
For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep... view full answer...
The Rola Multi-Pivot Watercraft Carrier was designed to fit the specific shape of the Rola Sportz crossbars or a certain size T-slot on top of the bars. It has not been tested on other bars so I cannot say if it will fit or not.
What I recommend is to use some foam blocks, like # RL100K10. These blocks are universal and can fit square load bars, round crossbars, factory bars and naked roofs. They also include bow and stern tie downs. view full answer...
I believe you are referring to the weight capacity of a 2006 GMC Envoy based on the following info:
For the 2WD Envoy (L6 engine) the maximum trailer weights are:
5300-lbs for the 3.42 axle ratio
5800-lbs for the 3.73 axle ratio
6300-lbs for the 4.10 axle ratio
For the 4WD Envoy (same L6 engine) the maximum trailer weights are:
5200-lbs for 3.42 axle
5700-lbs for 3.73 axle
6200-lbs for 4.10 axle
The weights listed above are the total weight of a trailer that the vehicle can tow. Not... view full answer...
As you mentioned in your question many trailer hitches will have a higher weight rating when used with a weight distribution system. This is simply because a weight distribution system will distribute some of the tongue weight to the front axle of the vehicle, taking that load off the rear axle and thus allowing the hitch to handle more trailer weight.
The difference between a hitch's rating and its weight distribution rating is typically only specific to the hitch itself and not necessarily... view full answer...
The first step in choosing a weight distribution system is to definitively identify the fully-loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer. There are a few methods of doing this, as you can see by clicking on the link I provided.
Knowing the exact tongue weight is a crucial step in choosing the correct system for your application. If you choose a system that does not have a high enough capacity, the system will not be effective and could be damaged. Choosing a system whose capacity... view full answer...
The best recommendation I can make to protect the rocker panels of your 2006 GMC Envoy would be to install mudflaps like part # HL56341 and # HL57341. And then if you wanted 6 inch wide running boards confirmed to fit your vehicle you would want the # 27-6125-1355.
Cost for all products are at the product links. Install really wouldn't be too bad. If you can turn wrenches and have basic tools you would be fine.

The shank of accessories such as Curt ball mount # C45001 have to be a little smaller than the receiver opening so they are easy to install and remove. This can cause the fit to be a little looser than some people like. It actually spawned several products to reduce or eliminate movement of accessories in hitches: anti-rattle devices.
What I recommend is to use an anti-rattle device such as # BX88224. This device takes out movement vertically and horizontally. I have included a link to... view full answer...
Typically, the transmission lines make a loop through the radiator so if you're working your SUV hard while towing, you'd certainly benefit from a transmission cooler.
Unless you live way up north where it gets seriously cold, it's difficult to over-cool a transmission. The best spot to mount a cooler is directly behind the grille in front of the radiator, so we typically recommend choosing the largest cooler that will fit into the available space. The Derale # D13504 measures 11 x 12... view full answer...
It does sound like the spring bars that you have are underrated for your trailer which is then not allowing the tongue weight to be transferred to the front of the tow vehicle which results in too much sag. As we do not carry the Quality S Weight Distribution System, I unfortunately would not have the correct replacement spring bars for you nor am I aware if they are even available.
That said, the most cost effective option you have to help get rid of the sag would be to use the Firestone... view full answer...
The CIPA Clip-On Towing Mirror # 7070 referenced in your question is a universal towing mirror that will work well on your 2007 GMC Envoy as long as it has the lip or ridge running around the edge of the factory mirror.
With this in mind, I instead recommend taking a look at the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror # KS3891. Like the CIPA model, this will work great with the factory mirrors on your GMC Envoy, but will attach to the mirror with a ratcheting system compared to the buckle type... view full answer...
You are definitely not barking up the wrong tree! The absolute best and only route for attaching a basket directly to the raised rails on your 2002 GMC Envoy SLE is the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails # SPS4560-1101. This rack comes with 60" Long x 45" Wide, so it is perfect for the parameters that you mentioned. The basket comes with a 250-pound weight capacity and comes with all parts needed to adapt the basket to attach directly to your raised rails. On top... view full answer...
We do not have a custom mirror that is designed to fit your 2009 Envoy, but we do have another option.
I recommend the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror, part # KS3891. This will clip on to the edge of your mirror and will fit most mirrors that measure 4-1/2 to 11-1/2 inches tall. view full answer...
The most popular universal fit towing mirror is # 7070. The width of the glass portion is 7-1/2 inches across. This will definitely help but if you have a very wide or long trailer you may not be able to see to close behind it.
For more visibility a mirror like # 11650 would be a better choice. It mounts on the door of the vehicle and extends out 17 inches. I have included some video reviews for each of the above mirrors. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225 will be your only option for a RV spare tire carrier that will allow for flat towing. This will fit your RV's 2" receiver and can safely hold tires ranging from 16" - 24-1/2". The Roadmaster # RM-195225 has a flat towing capacity of 10,000 lbs. Keep in mind that this carrier will reduce the tongue weight capacity by 33% on your RV's hitch. For example, if your current hitch has a maximum tongue... view full answer...
The pin in the 1:00 position of a 7-way is the 12 volt accessory circuit which is what is used to charge trailer batteries typically when charging. Not all vehicle have this circuit active but it's pretty easy to accomplish this. What you'll need to do is use 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) to go from that pin through a breaker like # 9510 to the positive pin of your vehicle battery and this circuit will be complete. view full answer...
I have a great tow mirror solution for your 2005 GMC Envoy but we do not have any slip-on style mirrors that fit like the CIPA mirror you mentioned.
Instead you'd want a set of clip on style mirrors like the K-Source Set part # KS3891-2. These install easily by clipping to the lip around the edge of your mirror housings and are very secure. This is a set as you'll want the extra viewing angle on the passenger side as well. view full answer...
First thing you should do at this point is test the connector of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached.
If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue.
Make sure that the trailer side connector are... view full answer...
