Expert Answers about Cadillac CTS


  • Bike Rack Options for the Back of a Motorhome that is Flat Towing a Vehicle
  • Do you have a ladder rack at the back of your motorhome? If so, you could use a Ladder Bike Rack part # LA-102. If you have a 4 inch bumper that is continuously welded you could use a bumper mounted bike rack like part # S80501. Using a dual hitch adapter wouldn't be ideal since you are currently using an 8 inch drop adapter and none of the dual hitch adapters have that much drop.

  • Recommended Tow Dolly for 2006 Cadillac CTS-V Models
  • I reached out to my contact at RoadMaster and they said they have confirmed a fit for the CTS but the CTS-V and the Sport Package models are not a fit for drivability issues as well as trim interference. According to the 2006 Cadillac CTS and CTS-V owners manual, you should not flat tow this vehicle. I've attached the owners manual pages to show this. I recommend using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1 . You will also need the Pollak Black Plastic,...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2010 Cadillac CTS
  • The trunk-mount racks I can recommend for your husband's 2010 Cadillac CTS will depend on which vehicle version we're considering. If it is the 2-door coupe, then our only choice is the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount. This is a Vacuum Cup mounted carrier that works amazingly but is quite pricey. Part # 298-BK1910-AB. This one is blue, but it comes in 3 other colors. If the CTS is a 4-door sedan then the Thule OutWay # TH45JV that you referenced is the best choice....

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 Cadillac CTS
  • When it comes to picking out a transmission cooler for a vehicle there is not a list of confirmed coolers that will fit different vehicles. The best way to pick one out is to measure the area in front of your radiator and pick a cooler that will fit in that area. If you have the room I think a Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13502 should work well to cool the transmission fluid of your 2003 Cadillac CTS. The measurements of this cooler are 11 inches wide, 7-1/4...

This exhaust system will give your vehicle a slight boost in power and fuel efficiency since it will allow the exhaust to flow easier from the engine. It will also give it a slightly louder exhaust tone which is what it sounds like you are interested in.

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2003 Cadillac CTS
  • The best trunk mounted bike rack we offer that has been confirmed to fit your 2003 Cadillac CTS would be the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy.. It also uses the OneKey system to lock both the carrier and the bikes to deter bike theft. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Cadillac CTS Sedan With Removable Ball Mount
  • It sounds like you want a trailer hitch with a ball mount and hitch ball that can be removed. There are trailer hitches available for your 2011 Cadillac CTS Sedan that will allow you to use a 2 inch ball on a removable ball mount. The trailer hitch that I would recommend for you is the Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch, # 24767. You would only need to add the ball mount and hitch ball. For a 2 inch hitch ball, use part # 19258. If you want a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, use part # 19256. Keep...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2009 Cadillac CTS
  • One of our most popular trunk mount bike rack would be the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV for a 2 bike model or # TH56BV for a 3 bike model. What makes these racks so good is how quick and simple they are to install. Instead of 6 straps and buckles you need to adjust and fumble around with, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps. The rack also features the OneKey system to secure the rack and to secure the bikes to the rack. Before installing the rack, you'll want to make sure the...

  • Hitch Bike Rack for 2017 Cadillac CTS-V
  • It looks like the best fit for your 2017 Cadillac CTS-V is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11900. It is a 1 1/4" Class I hitch, and it's a perfectly good hitch for carrying bikes. Most of the best bike racks have integrated adapters or 1 1/4" versions anyways. One thing worth noting however, is that Class I hitches are not rated for more than 2 bikes. You did mention you're only carrying 2 bikes, so you're fine. When you're ready to put a bike rack on your hitch, I have a couple of...

  • Recommended Roof Bike Rack Compatible with Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack
  • There are many options of Bike Racks compatible with your Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack, # Y02-490B. I would recommend the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount, # Y02103. This mount holds your bike in place by the tires, but shouldn't interfere with your pegs. This is also a nice option with lockable cores # Y07202. I've attached some review videos of these racks for you.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Cargo Mount For Custom Build Saddle Bag Cargo Carrier
  • For your custom build I recommend the Let's Go Aero TwinTube U-Build-It Slide-Out Hitch Rack # HMK901. This will allow you to customize your saddle bag with center compartment build. It will also let you slide this out so you can have access to your cargo area without removing your system. I can picture this being a really cool system using something like the DeeZee Specialty Series Wheel Well Toolbox with Drawers - Steel - 1.9 Cu Ft - Black # DZ95D between the saddle bags.
