Expert Answers about GMC Yukon


  • Recommended Aftermarket Trailer Brake Controller for 2015 GMC Yukon with Tow Package
  • Based on my research, if your 2015 GMC Yukon did not come from the factory equipped with the OEM brake controller, this is not something that can be added. It looks like the logic and programming will be completely different on your model Yukon, so the IBC cannot be installed. Using the correct pigtail/harness will work to physically plug the IBC into your vehicle, but the computer simply won't be able to recognize it. With that being said, you still can absolutely (and easily) install...

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Landing Gear for 2010 Jayco Designer
  • In order to pick out a direct replacement for the landing gear on your trailer we would need to know the distance between the mounting brackets. Otherwise you could just have the brackets removed from your trailer by a qualified welder and then install the brackets that come with the Reese Tandem Landing Gear Set # RP500708. Either way this landing gear set would work well for you, you just might have to have the brackets of your trailer removed and then install the brackets of the Reese...

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2015 GMC Yukon
  • We can offer you universal-fit mirrors that will work just fine. A popular option is the K-Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror # KS3891. The linked video illustrates their construction and installation. I spoke with my contact at CIPA and because the 2015 GMC Yukon has a new mirror design there are no custom fits available. All universal-fit towing mirrors are shown on the link.

  • Bike Rack for Towing for GMC Yukon
  • We have a few options to accomplish what you are wanting to do. You could go with a towing bike rack that features an integrated slot for a ball mount, like the Swagman Original towing rack, part # S64675. The only possible drawback to using a towing bike rack is the fact that when towing with it, the tongue weight capacity of the rack is pretty low, 350 lbs. This includes the rack, the weight of the bikes on it, and the trailer tongue weight. If you have a very small trailer with a low...

  • Interchangeability of Weight Distribution System Parts
  • If the Fastway round bars just so happened to fit in a Reese (Draw-Tite) weight distribution head, it would be purely coincidental. Neither manufacturer will confirm that their components will work with those of a competitor. When Draw-Tite or Fastway states that a given system is rated for a specific tongue weight, it is because each component of the system has been designed and rigorously tested to ensure that they work together. Once one component is replaced with another part, you...

  • Jack Recommendation for Travel Trailer for Changing Flats
  • Going with a bottle jack like the Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack with Built-In Jack Stand # ALL620471 would be what I would recommend. Since it doubles as a jack stand it gives you the ability to jack up the trailer and safely hold it at the height you want when changing the tire.

  • Can Curt Spectrum Brake Controller Install in 2011 GMC Yukon
  • The Curt Spectrum part # C51170 can install easily in your 2011 GMC Yukon with the factory wiring it has under the dash with the universal wiring harness part # C51515 but like you mentioned it has to wire directly to the brake controller wiring under the dash as there isn't a connector present for a plug-in type install. To see how a similar brake controller installs in a Yukon like yours check out the install video link I attached to this page.

  • Recommended Brake Controller For A 2022 GMC Yukon With Factory Tow Package
  • Having the tow package on your 2022 GMC Yukon definitely makes life easier. You do already have a hitch installed, but you also have a port under the dash that is specifically there for a brake controller to attach to. With that being said, I have two options listed out below. Both are good options, but one will be a more economical option, and one will be a more premier option. For the economical option, you will want to check out the Tekonsha Primus IQ TK90160. This can handle trailers...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2005 GMC Yukon Denali Towing an 8,000 Pound Trailer
  • In order to choose the correct weight distribution system, you will need to know the tongue weight when loaded and ready to tow. The tongue weight includes the tongue weight of the trailer AND anything loaded in the tow vehicle that is behind the rear axle. There are a couple of ways to determine tongue weight. You can use a tongue weight scale, # e99044. There are a couple of other methods and I have included a link to an FAQ article that explains how to do each one. Tongue weight should...

  • Stable Cargo Carrier Needed When in the Folded Up Position for a GMC Yukon Denali XL
  • We have several Folding carriers designed to fit in a 2 inch hitch, see link. The problem you are experiencing with cargo carriers wobbling in the upright position is inherent to the folding style of carrier and I have not seen one yet that fully addresses this issue. The folding aspect also requires that the carrier be basically level or just below level when folded down. This design is needed to keep the carrier from bouncing in the hinged portion when encountering hard bumps on the...

  • Which Stromberg Carlson Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier Should I Use, # TR-1 or TR-2
  • The only difference from the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier, part # TR-1, and part # TR-2, is that part # TR-2 folds down to provide access to storage areas when mounted to your RV. If you think the folding feature would come in handy, I would recommend part # TR-2. If you think you can do without the folding feature, part TR-1 will work just fine. Part # TR-1 may also be a little quieter when mounted, as it is all one piece. I contacted our representative at Stromberg Carlson about what...
