- Recommended Tow Bar Wiring and Safety Cables To Flat Tow 2017 GMC Canyon
- Since you already have a tow bar, base plates, and a supplemental braking system for your 2017 GMC Canyon you are most of the way to a complete flat tow setup.
Since you mentioned that you are using the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 you will also need the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332, and Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751472 for your Canyon.
The last components you will need are the wiring, and safety cables you mentioned, and likely a high-low...
view full answer... - Can 2012 GMC Canyon 4x4 be Flat Towed
- Everything I was able to look up on your 2012 GMC Canyon 4x4 is that the vehicle is flat towable as-is. The weight looks to be between 3,366 and 4,070 lbs depending on how it is equipped.
For a base plate kit you'd then want the part # 3122-1 which is a confirmed fit.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety...

- As long as the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522 is still in good shape there would be nothing wrong with using it as is.
Since it is a bit older and you have only had it for the last 4 years I recommend giving it a good cleaning and lubricating it. Roadmaster recommends using the Roadmaster Tow Bar Cleaner - 22 oz Spray Bottle # RM-9932 and then lubricating it with dry silicone spray like # RM-747.
I would double check that the arms go in and out smoothly, and there is not obvious...

- For a tilting bike rack that can carry 2 bikes and has locks for the bikes and for the rack to the hitch we have the Thule Apex XT part # TH9024XT. This rack is very stable and easy to use too so it would be a great option.

view full answer... - 2020 GMC Canyon Towing Mirror Recommendation
- We have an alternative but the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors part # KS62049-50G are not confirmed to fit your 2020 GMC Canyon.
Your best bet until someone produces a custom fit option is the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2. They will hold on really well and really help you get a much better view of your trailer and the surroundings.
Check out the linked video that shows how they fit the 2017 model.

view full answer... - Will Heavier Spring Bars Decrease Trailer Porpoising
- If the trailer does not have enough weight on the tongue relative to the weight of the trailer (ideally between 10-15%) then you can experience issues with porpoising. A weight distribution system will generally fix most porpoising issues as it helps better distribute the load more evenly but if the springs bars are too weak they can flex more and give in to porpoising. The best solution would be to rearrange weight on the trailer but stiffer springs bars would also help to alleviate some...

- I do have several nerf bar and running boards options for a 2018 GMC Canyon but none are powered. Instead, I recommend the Aries Round Nerf Bars part # AA204051 which are one of our most popular options.

- The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SS75FR you were looking at for your 2016 GMC Canyon will not void your warranty.
This is due to the fact that you are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act which states that if you take your vehicle in for a warranty repair they must honor the warranty unless the aftermarket component you added is what caused the issue.
The # SS75FR gives 1500lbs of support to your rear suspension when you are carrying a heavy payload...
view full answer... - Is There a Brake Controller Wire Front to Back on a 2005 GMC Canyon
- The trailer brake output wire is not run from the front of the vehicle to the rear, you will need to do this yourself. In order to do this, we have a kit you can use which has the wire and everything else you need to install a trailer brake controller. The kit I am referring to is the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. This will require an existing 4-way so if you don't already have one of these you'll need one. I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole...

view full answer... - Braking System and Rock Protection for Flat Towing a 2016 GMC Canyon Behind an Allegro RV
- For motor homes that have air brakes there's nothing better than the SMI Air Force One braking system, # SM99243, so I do highly recommend it for your 2016 GMC Canyon and 2016 Allegro coach. The system comes with a breakaway system so you will not need to add one separately.
