Expert Answers about GMC Canyon


  • Curt C51170 Spectrum Brake Controller Installation on 2020 GMC Canyon
  • The Curt # C51170 (or any brake controller, for that matter) isn't a vehicle-specific item. It'll work on just about any vehicle that has a standard hydraulic braking system. How you'd install the # C51170 Spectrum brake controller will depend on whether or not you have the factory 7-way trailer connector installed on the bumper. If you don't have the 7-way, you'll need part # HM11141144 which installs as shown in the linked video. The controller installs by wiring directly to the tow...

  • Need New Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR and Compatible Tonneau for 2017 GMC Canyon
  • It sounds like you're going to be swapping trucks from a 2008 Toyota Tundra to a 2017 GMC Canyon and you'd like to use your existing Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-610 on your 2017 Canyon as well as add a tonneau cover compatible with this setup. I have exactly the parts you'll need to recreate your old setup on your new truck. You'll first need to replace the base rails to match your new truck; you'll want to use the Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR # TH21783, which are designed to fit on...

  • Recommendation for Adding Timbren Suspension Enhancement System to a 2005 GMC Canyon
  • The Timbren Vehicle Suspension Enhancement Systems are designed to work with your existing suspension system that is in good working order, not to replace worn or broken components. If the leaf springs on your 2005 GMC Canyon are in need of repair, I definitely recommend getting new leaf springs. If you are planning on doing future towing, then I would recommend adding the Timbren springs. The Timbren # TGMFC4 that you referenced is a front suspension enhancement system. For your rear...

  • How To Convert A Torsion Axle To An Axle-Less Or Straight Axle System
  • I do have a few options available for you however, we currently do not sell torsion axles. You have two options to consider for your trailer, the Timbren axle-less suspension and the Dexter straight axles. As you have a gross trailer weight (GTW) of 3,000 lbs. I recommend using a 3,500 lb setup. The Timbren System will provide you with a much easier method for converting from torsion springs in addition to containing fewer components. I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 GMC Canyon
  • If your 2015 GMC Canyon has the factory-installed tow package the truck will have an actual 7-way trailer socket at the rear bumper rather than the punch-out plate. You can still check under the back bumper for any wiring/connectors. If you find a round U.S. Car connector (see photo) then you can install a 7-way/4-pole socket # HM40975. The vehicle connector will plug right in to the back of the Hopkins. The 4-pole harness you referenced, part # C55384 from Curt, also uses these same...

  • Parts Needed To Install Redarc Tow-Pro Brake Controller In a 2019 GMC Canyon
  • There is not an adapter made for your 2019 GMC Canyon as it does not have a factory connector but instead uses wires that are already terminated in the drivers kick panel. I have linked an installation video for a Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller # 90885 on a 2018 Colorado below that will help you find the wiring. The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR will include the universal harness needed to install the brake controller. This controller is proportional and works with up...

  • Recommended Base Plate Kit Set Up For A 2022 GMC Canyon AT4
  • After doing some research I found out that The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM37VR will in fact work with your 2022 GMC Canyon AT4. When choosing the correct Tow Bar The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 will connect perfectly with The Roadmaster Base Plate # RM37VR. I like this tow bar over the others because it has a non-binding design that allows you to release your vehicle at any time, anywhere even on unlevel ground. The safety cables come included with the tow...

  • Does 2016 GMC Canyon Have Speed Limit When Flat Towing and Parts Needed
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2016 GMC Canyon and there was no mention of a limit to the speed you can flat tow the vehicle so you will be fine simply following the rules of the road. There are a number of parts needed in order to flat tow your '16 Canyon, which I'll list for you: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9519319 (so long as your '16 Canyon dos NOT have adaptive cruise control) - Tow Bar: Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013 - Wiring...

This will snap into the factory transmission coolers output fitting to allow you to run the coolant line from it without having to cut or flare the original fitting on the factory cooler.

  • Additional Parts to Flat Tow a 2016 GMC Canyon 4WD with a Ready Brute Tow Bar
  • Hopefully I can help clear things up for you. There are a lot of options. The wiring I recommend to flat tow your 2016 GMC Canyon is the diode kit # RM-15267. I like this kit because no matter what else you do it'll cover everything you might need. It installs a 6-way on the front of your truck for any additional wires you might use for a charge line kit or braking system.

  • Redarc Liberty Brake Controller Wiring and 7-Way Wiring For a 2016 GMC Canyon
  • You will need the Universal Wiring Harness # RED69FR to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR into your 2016 GMC Canyon. This will allow you to splice into the wiring that is on your Canyon as there is not a plug and play style connector and the wires are just terminated under the lower side panel fascia on your Canyon. I have included a video of an installation of a different brake controller on 2017 Chevrolet Colorado but the wiring will be similar. Once you...

  • How Do I Cross Reference Bearings, Washer, And Dust Cover On 15 Foot BigTex Utility Trailer?
  • Unfortunately we don't have a database of your trailer parts available to us. To get the correct bearings, I will need some assistance from you. You can pull your hub and give me the bearing numbers of your inner and outer bearing (the number is printed on the face of the bearing), or you can measure the spindle using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 in specific locations of the bearings and seal. I've attached an article and a photo to assist. If you measure, pictures are extremely...
