  • What is the Difference Between the Bargman 54006-057 and 54006-009 Plugs
  • The difference between the Bargman 7-Way, RV-Style Connector w/ 6' Heavy Duty Insulated Cable - Trailer End # 54006-057 and the 7-Way Molded Trailer End with 6' Cable - HD Blue Insulated # 54006-009 is how the wires are color coded. The # 54006-057 uses the red wire for left turn signal and # 54006-009 uses the red wire for the 12V power. The color coding between these two will be different even though the function locations will be identical on the 7-way blades, so you would just need...

  • What is the Difference Between 1 Gauge and 2 Gauge Wiring
  • The difference between 1 gauge and 2 gauge wiring is going to be the amount of current that can pass through it. 1 gauge wiring, like the wires used in the Bulldog Winch Booster Cable Set - Clamp to Clamp - 1 Gauge - 30' Long # BDW20333 is going to provide you with a bit more current going through the cables than a 2 gauge wire- so it's really all down to your application. When it's available, I recommend using booster cables with 0 or 1 gauge wiring so that you're not losing any power capacity.

  • Comparing Yakima HoldUp EVO and the Thule T2 Pro XTR + 2-Bike Add-On
  • Out of the Yakima HoldUp EVO # Y02479-2 and the Thule T2 Pro XTR with 2-bike add on, parts # TH69TX I recommend the T2 Pro XTR # TH69TX hands-down. Both racks are great options and feature really useful things, but the T2 Pro XTR has the most weight capacity, weighs 20 lbs less than the HoldUp EVO, and is has that handle release at the rearmost part of the carrier is quite nice. The handle feature alone is going to save your back and make it so that you can use that tilting feature much...

  • What is the Bumper Clearance Distance for the Curt Hitch # C12198 on a 2019 Subaru Forester?
  • As far as comparing bumper clearance distance on your 2019 Subaru Forester, you are right in saying that the Curt Hitch # C12198 installs closer to the bumper than the Draw-Tite Hitch # 76271. The distance between the center of the hitch's pinhole of the Curt hitch to the outside surface of your rear bumper is only 4 inches compared to the 5 inches of the Draw-Tite Hitch. If you still find that you need less of a distance, we did install the Curt Hitch # C47HR on a 2021 Subaru Forester...

  • Which Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve To Use
  • You linked to the Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank, # E40-8 a 3" Hub to 3" Spigot. The difference between a hub connection and a spigot connection is that the hub is the female end and has a lip on the inside that stops the spigot (or male) end. Please note the three options of a 3" Hub to 3" Hub - # E40B-8, 3" Hub to 3" Spigot - # E40-8 or 3" Spigot to 3" Spigot - # E40A-8. I suggest you remove the current component and examine what you have. For installation,...

  • Thule Easy Fold XT vs Hollywood Racks 2 EBike Rack for Heavy Bikes
  • The Thule EasyFold bike rack, part # TH903202 would work well in your situation as long as you can get the weight of the bikes below the 65 lb/per threshold. As long as you are within the rack's capacity, you'll be fine. I haven't head any reports of the rack failing with heavier bikes, nor am I seeing any reviews from our customers stating that the rack has failed due to the weight of the bikes. As long as the capacity of the rack isn't exceeded, the rack is installed as outlined in the...

  • Compare SportRack Ridge Swing # SR2415 Vs. Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465
  • The SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # SR2415 and the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # Y02465 are very similar bike racks that will both allow access to the cargo area of your 2022 Toyota Sienna. The biggest difference in the two is the Yakima has a weight capacity of 160 lbs while the SportRack has a 140 lb weight capacity. The other thing to consider is how often you will be using the bike rack. If you will use it every weekend, then I...

  • Best Hitch For A 2020 Nissan Frontier
  • Both hitches are class 3 with 2x2 inch receiver openings and both can use weight distribution systems. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98869. A notable difference is the safety chain loops, on the etrailer hitch they are a horizontal welded loop under the receiver opening that will not take away from your ground clearance. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75282 has welded...

  • Comparing Bumper Clearance of Kuat Transfer V2 and RockyMounts MonoRail
  • The Kuat Transfer V2 part # KU74FR has a distance of 9 inches from the center of it's hitch pin to the nearest portion of the rack when folded up so as long as you have 9 inches or less from the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out on the rear bumper you'd be set. The RockyMounts MonoRail part # RKY10003 has a distance of 5-3/4 inches for that measurement instead so it doesn't have quite as much clearance. The Transfer weighs 47 lbs but has more clearance whereas the MonoRail weighs...

  • What is the Difference Between a Curt EZr Double Lock and Standard Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch
  • The Curt EZr Double Lock # C60683 and the Double Lock # C60720 are essentially the same gooseneck system with some minor differences. Mainly, the EZR sits lower by 3/8" in the truck bed, but it's main draw is that it's designed to be a bit easier to install. Both will fit on the 2012 Ford F-250 with 6-3/4 Foot Bed. I've linked some review and installation videos of the two for you to check out and decide for yourself.

  • Is the LED Oval Trailer Utility Light Brighter than the Incandescent Oval Trailer Back Up Light
  • I went out to the warehouse and checked all of our clear oval lights. The Sealed, 6-1/2 inch LED Clear Oval Trailer Utility Light, 10 Diode, item # BUL72CB, whiter light than the light emitted by the incandescent Oval Trailer Back Up Light, item # BU70CB, but the light does not illuminate as large an area as well. The advantages of the LED light is that it does not draw near as much amperage as the incandescent light, it lasts much longer and it does not produce the heat produced by incandescent...

  • Comparing the Swagman XC and XTC-2 Platform Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Racks on a 2004 Pontiac Vibe
  • There are several differences between the Swagman XC, # S64650, and the Swagman XTC, # S64670. First, the XC uses a different type of wheel loop than the XTC. While it is a solid and sturdy wheel loop, the ones used on the XTC are not only a different design, but a little more well constructed. Both racks use the same ratcheting hook assembly to secure the bikes at the frame. The ratcheting system is a secure and convenient method of securing the bikes. The XTC also includes a strap that...

  • Comparing Class III Receiver for 2012 Subaru Outback
  • Draw-Tite #75673 has 7 inch distance between the receiver hitch pin hole and the furthest rearward portion of the rear bumper when installed on a 2011 model Subaru Outback Wagon. Although the hitch will attach to the vehicle using existing holes in the frame, a 1-1/8 inch hole saw will be needed to drill an access hole in the frame member on both the driver and passenger side. This hole is necessary in order to feed installation hardware into the frame as shown in the install instructions...

  • Comparing Bronze and Nylon Bushings for Trailer Suspension
  • It really just depends on what you are looking to get out of the bushings. Bronze bushings, like part # K71-291-00, will last longer but are more noisy and it is recommended to use wet bolts like part # 126B2 to keep them lubricated. Nylon bushings, like part # SP05-060, are much quieter and can be used with regular bolts like part # 166081 since they don't need to be lubricated as much. As far as lifespan goes the bronze will last longer but not so much longer that they are much better...

  • Comparing OEM Tonneau Cover REV for 2017 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab Short Box to BAK Revolver X2
  • I did some research and reached out to my contact at BAK to get some information. They confirmed the REV brand is a private label of basically the same products in the BAK tonneau cover line of products. They have both a GM and a Ford line that is private labeled so the vehicle manufacturer can have their OEM option. For your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab with the 5' 8" bed, the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl # BAK39120 is the correct fit and the...

  • Recommended Hidden Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I would be happy to help you choose a trailer hitch so you can keep using your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22B or # NV22G on your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon. Although the 3 hitches you mentioned to feature the hidden crosstube design, the Stealth Hitches option # 391SUOB20 is a completely different animal so I'll start off by comparing the Curt # C67JR and EcoHitch # EH34FR options first. The Curt and EcoHitch and essentially the same thing with the main difference being price and the materials...

  • Equalizer vs Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System for 10K Car Hauler
  • Both systems are highly rated by our customers, but I do believe the Strait-Line is a better system. In terms of sway control, it offers the most advanced technology that works to fight sway before it even starts unlike the Equalizer that basically tries to minimize it as it's happening. Therefore, you'll inevitably experience some sway with the Equalizer before it corrects it but none with the Strait-Line. Also, because the tongue weight range of the Strait-Line system # RP66084 is wider...

  • Wiring Harness for a 2008 BMW X5
  • Any time you purchase an OEM part from the dealer/factory, products are typically more expensive than going with an aftermarket item. If the harness available is a plug in harness, that is a benefit verses having a hardwired kit such as part # C59496 where the wires are spliced in. If you are looking for a more reasonable price to wire the vehicle, then an aftermarket hardwire kit would be the best option. The vehicle will function properly with both wiring harness, but at this time we...
