Expert Answers about GMC Acadia
- Why Won't the Mounting Bracket on My Curt Hitch # C13293 Fit My 2020 GMC Acadia?
- I'm sorry to hear about your hitch! Given that your vehicle is a non-AT4 model 2020 GMC Acadia, one of the common issues people have with hitches is bending/bowing of the hitch during delivery. If the angle on the welded end of the driver's-side brackets does not match the frame rail, it does indeed sound like an issue with bending/bowing of the Curt Trailer Hitch - 2" # C13293.
While we have not heard of the # C13293 not fitting your vehicle, bending/bowing is more common than people...

- There are three general types of rooftop cargo carriers: fabric bags that can mount in a variety of ways on most any vehicle, metal cargo baskets that attach to roof racks and enclosed plastic cargo boxes that attach to racks. The link provided will take you to our main page that shows you all types.
The crossbar spread on your vehicle will prevent fitting many smaller cargo baskets, but one that will work well is the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080-82 that measures 74- long x 48- wide x 6-1/2-inches...
view full answer... - Will the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System Work On Trailer With 200 Lbs or Less
- The Strait-Line Weight Distribution System with Sway Control part # RP66082 would work just fine on a 3,300 lb trailer. If your tongue weight is slightly under the 200 lb tongue weight capacity, this won't be a big deal at all and the system will still work just fine. The number of axles also won't be an issue for the system.
Don't forget the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90.

- The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425 and part # Y33TR is what I recommend for a 2018 GMC Acadia Denali.
This system has aero shape crossbars so they will create the least amount of noise and work with the widest variety of rooftop mounted accessories. It also has a 165 lbs weight capacity which will be enough for three kayaks.
The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System can then be used with the Thule The Stacker part # TH830.

- Lithium batteries require a higher voltage to charge than standard batteries which means you can't charge one directly from the 7-way 12 volt accessory circuit you mentioned. You could if you used the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D which is compatible with lithium batteries though.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2015 GMC Acadia That Allows Fascia to be Reinstalled
- I spoke with my contacts at Curt and Draw-Tite and they said if your Acadia has a beveled fascia door you should be able to reattach the fascia door, but if your fascia door is flat you more than likely cannot reattach it. GMC made vehicles with both kinds of fascia doors. (See the image I included of a fascia with a beveled door.)
The tongue weight rating for a hitch refers to how much vertical weight the hitch can handle right at the hitch opening. This is different from the total trailer...

The Pro Series Cargo Carrier part # PS1040100 would be a great option for a cargo carrier. I attached a review video that shows this carrier being demoed in a 2015 Acadia just like yours.

- To determine if the Thule Force XT cargo box # TH6358B will fit your 2013 GMC Acadia and not interfere with the antenna there is a measurement you will need to take. First, if the crossbars can be moved on the roof, move the front bar as far forward as it will go. Then measure from the center of the front bar back to the nearest potential obstruction, in this case the antenna. If that measurement is less than 51-1/8 inches the box will fit.

I have linked a picture below that will help you find the fuse location. This fuse box is in your rear cargo area on the driver's side.

- To mount the air connector from the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 to the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1728 for your 2018 GMC Acadia I recommend flipping the bracket that comes with your wiring, like the Roadmaster # RM-15267, upside down so you can mount the air connector below the wiring socket.

- 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.
view full answer... - Which Fastway Weight Distribution System for Trailer with 600 to 800 lbs Tongue Weight
- If you go with a weight distribution system that is rated too high for the trailer being towed you'll end up with a really harsh ride quality. So based on knowing your tongue weight will be between 600 and 800 lbs the best Fastway weight distribution system is the Trunnion e2 part # FA92-00-1000 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,000 lbs.
If instead you were wanting an Equal-i-zer the kit you'd want is the part # EQ37100ET which has the same weight range but has a better sway control...
view full answer... - Do the Black Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards, # 27-6125-1835 Match the GMC Black on a 2008 Acadia
- The Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards, # 27-6125-1835, are a typical black matte with a little bit of a semi-gloss sheen. It will probably not be an exact match but will provide a subtle two tone sort of effect.
The optional light kit, # 27-6000, is not as simple as a plug and play installation but accessing the appropriate wires is not difficult for most vehicles.
I have included a link to the running boards and tube steps listed for your 2008 GMC Acadia.

- Yes, the Curt wiring harness # C56325 does fit your 2020 GMC Acadia. You can verify by finding the connector behind your Acadia's muffler.
If you don't already have a trailer hitch I recommend the Curt # C13293 because it's a much easier install than the other option for your SUV.

- The Thule Passage 2 bike trunk mount bike rack, part # TH910XT would work perfectly on your 2015 GMC Acadia.
If you'll be carrying women's bikes with step-through frames or bikes with a sharply angled top tube, a bike frame adapter like # 64005 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, providing a level attachment for the bike rack.

- The Yakima JetStream roof rack system is a great option for the naked roof on your 2019 GMC Acadia:
50" JetStream Crossbars - # Y00425
BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR
BaseClip Fit Kit - Kit # Y06138 and Kit # Y06132
Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional)
The note about not carrying something side-by-side actually just refers to surf/sail/paddleboards and doesn't apply to kayaks. If you don't already have a kayak carrier I really like the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 which comes with tie-downs for 1...
