  • The only difference between the green Classic Accessories 9' Pontoon Boat with Transport Wheel 69770 and the orange Classic Accessories 9' Pontoon Boat with Transport Wheel 69774 is the color. Other than that, they are the exact same thing. They both have a transport wheel, 20 pockets, 2 insulated drink holders, dual removable gear bags, stripping basket, a wire storage/battery platform, a rod holder, and 2 detachable foam fly patches.

  • Comparing Gooseneck Hitch Ball Kits for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Pucks
  • Difference in pricing between products can have a variety of factors like what our cost is for them, how popular they are, and competitor's pricing so there really isn't just one reason why pricing is different. With that being said, the Curt Kit # C60692 is pretty popular but I think they have pushed their marketing into the OEM sector so people have just heard their name more. I personally like the style of the B&W Kit # BWGNXA2061 better because the release handle doesn't sit on top...

  • Comparing B&W Companion and Curt PowerRide 5TH Wheels Hitches For 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 Puck System
  • I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 for your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 with the in bed factory prep/puck system. This hitch is made in the USA and B&W has great attention to detail. While the PowerRide # C36WR looks like a great hitch I have never been a fan of the integrated Wear Plates # C52WR. They are specific to the one hitch and when they become damaged they may be difficult to find on a trip. And as I have seen with other manufacturers if they discontinue...

  • Comparing The Curt A25 And B&W Companion For A 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 With Factory Puck System
  • Both the Curt A25 # C24FR and the B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 have a 25,000 pounds towing and 6,250 pounds of vertical load capacity, but there are a few differences between them and I have a couple listed below. First, The B&W can be adjusted from 16-3/4" to 18-3/4" and the Curt can adjust from 13" to 17". This is pretty close though, but I do like that the B&W can go higher. The Curt has interlocking jaws, but the B&W has more standard style jaws (picture included of what I mean). Between...

  • Should I Go With A B&W 20k or 25k Fifth Wheel Hitch In My 2018 GMC Sierra 3500
  • To be 100% honest, you can absolutely go with the 20k B&W Companion # BWRVK3700. With your toy hauler weighing 19,000 pounds fully loaded, it will definitely handle the weight without issues. However, if you ever plan on getting a heavier trailer/camper, it may not be a bad idea to go with the 25k B&W Companion # BWRVK3705. This will be a little more expensive on the front end, but you will not need to purchase a new hitch if a new camper weighs more than 20k. If this isn't something you...

  • Difference Between # CU53FR and # C16024 Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Legs for 2020 GM Puck System
  • The Curt # C16024 fifth wheel legs you mentioned fit the A series hitches from 20k and up; the A20 # C16540, A25 # C16580, and A30 # C16590. They're technically designed for the A30 because of the legs's 30,000 pound rating but they still fit the other two. With that in mind they will not, however, increase the weight capacity of the other 2 hitches. The # CU53FR legs fit all of the same hitches plus the Q Series and E Series hitches as well. These legs even fit the A30 however they are...

  • What Is The Difference Between Firestone 7,500 And Air Lift 7,500 Kits For A 2022 GMC Sierra 3500?
  • Though the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541 and the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 that are designed to fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 are both American made and rated up to 7,500 pounds of load leveling capacity, there is one difference that pushes me to the Firestone option. That being the durability of the actual bags. The Air Lift air bags have 2 layers while the Firestone bags have 4 layers. This means the Firestone bags...

  • TruXedo Pro X15 vs. TruXedo Lo Pro for 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 With 8 Foot Bed
  • The TruXedo Pro X15 Soft Tonneau Cover # TX1472801 is a slightly upgraded version of the TruXedo Lo Pro Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX572801. Both of these covers fit your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8 foot bed, and the differences are in the profile of the cover as well as the make of the cover. The Pro X15 has a lower profile than the Lo Pro, sitting only 1/2 inch above the bed rails, while the Lo Pro is about an inch above the rails, or just under. The difference is that the lower-profile...

  • Comparing Firestone and Air Lift Air Bags for 2024 GMC Sierra 3500
  • The best choice for your 2024 Sierra 3500 is the Firestone # F2709. Although the Firestone and the Air Lift # AL57541 have the same 7,500 lb load-leveling capacity the Firestone construction is by far superior. The Firestone air bags use four layers of reinforced rubber while the Air Lift only has 2-ply rubber. Firestone also has corrosion-resistant metal end plates that use the rolled crimp seal to keep them anchored. This means you can rely on the air bags without worrying about potential...

  • Comparing Dexter and etrailer Brand Electric Trailer Brakes for 10K Axles
  • We recently had a short training session in which the difference between our brakes such as # AKEBRK-10R and Dexter brakes were revealed. The biggest difference is the brake pad material. It is thicker on our house brand brakes. Also, on our brakes the pads are machine cut whereas on the Dexter brakes the sections are snapped off. The benefit to having them machine cut is a smoother edge. Snapping off the pad sections leads to chipped edges and fine cracks in the material. The performance...

  • Hitch only or Hitch with Assembly C16071
  • The 16071 is a hitch that fits a Nisan Titan with the optional factory prep package. The information in the headers is only product categories - not information necessarily about the page currently being displayed. The Curt # C16070 it the 5th wheel hitch that will fit ON the bed of your GMC and attach to the optional factory installed puck system in the bed. As long as your GMC has the prep package, the # C16070 is all you will need. If your truck is configured differently, just let...

  • Best Heavy Duty Air Bag Kit And Compressor For A 2024 GMC Sierra 3500
  • I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. Both brands make a great quality air bag kit. Personally I prefer the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2709. The air bags themselves are known to be more durable than others. They can hold more PSI (150) than other brands as well. You will also want to go with a heavy duty onboard compressor. I recommend the Firestone Air Command # F2219. A dual path compressor will allow each bag to be filled independently, which will be ideal for a truck...

  • Comparing the BAKFlip F1 to the BAKFlip MX4 on 2018 GMC Sierra 3500
  • The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish # BAK48122 and the BAKFlip F1 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum and Fiberglass # BAK72122 are both excellent choices. The difference is the MX4 has 1/2 inch thick rustproof aluminum panels rated to hold up to 400 lbs evenly distributed. The F1 has 5/8 inch thick fiberglass-reinforced polymer panels with aluminum undersides and insulated cores for strength. The fiberglass will not heat up like the aluminum top...

  • Curt Q24 and Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Comparison for 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 w/ Factory Rail Kit
  • The only real difference between the Curt Q24 # C16545-16025 and Q25 # C16069 Fifth Wheel Hitches are the weight capacity, as you mentioned in your question. The Curt Q24 has a 6,000 pound tongue weight capacity and 24,000 pound gross towing weight, while the Q25 has a tongue weight capacity of 6,250 pounds and gross towing weight of 25,000 pounds. Both 5th-wheel hitches are designed to work with the factory rail kit on your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 and have the nice 2-jaw locking system that...

  • Comparing the Air Lift 7500 Airbags vs Firestone 7500 Airbags for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
  • For your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali DRW 4x4, I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2709 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538 for two reasons. The first reason is that the Air Lift kit requires drilling into the frame (minimal) whereas the Firestone kit is completely drill free. The second reason is in regards to the construction of the airbags. The Firestone airbags use a crimp rolled design which is...

  • Difference Between Firestone 7500 and Air Lift 7500 for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
  • The air spring kit I recommend for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label # F2709. Firestone air bags are less likely to leak and overall more reliable thanks to their rolled crimp seal that keeps the bags securely anchored to the metal end plates. This is superior to the standard band style clamp designed used on the Air Lift bags, like the LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541. Another advantage of the Firestone kit is that it gives you the option to...

  • Comparing Curt Double Lock and EZr Gooseneck Hitches for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
  • The only difference between the Curt Double Lock part # C607-604 and EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch part # C611-624 for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 is the center locator tool that comes with the EZr which helps to drill out the center hitch ball hole but aside from that they are pretty much the same. I recommend the EZr because of the added tool.

  • Firestone 7500 Air Bags vs. Air Lift 7500 Air Bags for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 2WD
  • The 7,500 lb air bag kit I highly recommend for your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 two-wheel drive are the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 because of the superior construction of the bags compared to the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57538. The reason the Firestone air bags are higher in quality than the Air Lift is because the Firestone bags are constructed with four layers of rubber which is reinforced, while the Air Lift bags are a double-ply...
