• Universal Fit Towing Mirror Recommendations for a 2008 GMC Envoy
• The most popular universal fit towing mirror is # 7070. The width of the glass portion is 7-1/2 inches across. This will definitely help but if you have a very wide or long trailer you may not be able to see to close behind it. For more visibility a mirror like # 11650 would be a better choice. It mounts on the door of the vehicle and extends out 17 inches. I have included some video reviews for each of the above mirrors.

• Rooftop Basket Recommendation to Attach Directly to Raised Rails on 2002 GMC Envoy
• You are definitely not barking up the wrong tree! The absolute best and only route for attaching a basket directly to the raised rails on your 2002 GMC Envoy SLE is the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails # SPS4560-1101. This rack comes with 60" Long x 45" Wide, so it is perfect for the parameters that you mentioned. The basket comes with a 250-pound weight capacity and comes with all parts needed to adapt the basket to attach directly to your raised rails. On top...

• Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2007 GMC Envoy
• The CIPA Clip-On Towing Mirror # 7070 referenced in your question is a universal towing mirror that will work well on your 2007 GMC Envoy as long as it has the lip or ridge running around the edge of the factory mirror. With this in mind, I instead recommend taking a look at the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror # KS3891. Like the CIPA model, this will work great with the factory mirrors on your GMC Envoy, but will attach to the mirror with a ratcheting system compared to the buckle type...

• Backup Alarm and Camera with Rear View Mirror Monitor for a 2005 GMC Envoy Denali
• I do have a solution for you but there isn't a camera system with backup alarms/sensors and a review mirror monitor. What I recommend is to use Wireless Backup Camera and Clamp On Rearview Mirror Item # RVS-091407 as the backup camera system. Then add Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount Item # HM60100VA. I would mount the camera in between the license plate and the bracket mount for the Hopkins backup sensor system. I have linked videos showing example installations...

• Recommendation for Weight Distribution on 2002 GMC Envoy Towing a Jayco 198RD Trailer
• To determine the correct weight distribution system on your 2002 GMC Envoy towing a Jayco 198RD, you will need to use the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the trailer. You will also want to make sure that your existing hitch on your Envoy is compatible with a weight distribution system. To choose a weight distribution system you will need a system that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the trailer tongue weight loaded and ready to tow, plus the weight of any gear...

• How To Help With Rear Sag While Towing With a 2007 GMC Envoy and Quality S WDH
• It does sound like the spring bars that you have are underrated for your trailer which is then not allowing the tongue weight to be transferred to the front of the tow vehicle which results in too much sag. As we do not carry the Quality S Weight Distribution System, I unfortunately would not have the correct replacement spring bars for you nor am I aware if they are even available. That said, the most cost effective option you have to help get rid of the sag would be to use the Firestone...

• Weight Distribution and Brake Controller for Towing Pop-Up Camper with 2006 GMC Envoy
• There are a few primary rules of thumb to determine if a weight distribution (W/D) system is necessary. If the fully loaded and ready to tow weight of the camper is more than half the weight of the tow vehicle of if the rear of the vehicle squats more than a few inches when the camper is hitched to your Envoy, using a weight distribution system would be highly recommended. Also, take a look at the hitch on your vehicle. The hitch will typically have a sticker stating the towing and the...

• How to Install a Brake Controller in a 2007 GMC Envoy
• To install the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195 in your 2007 GMC Envoy no plug is present under the dash, but the needed wires are already run. You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash. I attached an install video and a help article that detail how it will install.

• Recommendation for a Towing Mirror to Fit a 2008 GMC Envoy SLE
• The K-Source Universal Towing Mirror, # KS3891, would be a great option for a towing mirror on your 2008 GMC Envoy. It fits most mirrors 4-1/2 to 11-1/2 inches tall and mounts on either of your factory side mirrors to increase visibility. The ratcheting strap system offers easy installation and holds the mirror snug to reduce vibration. Custom towing mirrors are only made for full size trucks, vans and SUVs so universal mirrors are the way to go for your vehicle. I have attached a short...

• Recommendations for Adding Step for Easier Access on 2005 GMC Envoy
• I have a really great option for adding a step to allow for easier access into your 2005 GMC Envoy, however I don't think the Kwikee Electric RV Step # LC3747451 that you referenced is going to work well. It's going to require an awful lot of modification to the Envoy, with the addition of having to wire it up to the battery for power. I don't think there's going to be enough mounting space under the vehicle for the brackets, either. A much better option is going to be with a simple but...

• What Do You Recommend to Carry a Paddle Board and a Kayak on a 2007 GMC Envoy?
• Depending on the length of your crossbars (if you have crossbars) on your 2007 GMC Envoy, I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S510 for your kayak and the Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Pads w/ Tie-Downs for Crossbars # RRRWP04 for your paddle board. If you do not have crossbars, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - 48" # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars will give you the most length out of all of the confirmed fit roof racks in order to mount your kayak and paddle...

• Transmission Cooler Recommended for 2003 GMC Envoy
• Typically, the transmission lines make a loop through the radiator so if you're working your SUV hard while towing, you'd certainly benefit from a transmission cooler. Unless you live way up north where it gets seriously cold, it's difficult to over-cool a transmission. The best spot to mount a cooler is directly behind the grille in front of the radiator, so we typically recommend choosing the largest cooler that will fit into the available space. The Derale # D13504 measures 11 x 12...

• Recommended Brake Controller For 2006 GMC Envoy With Factory Tow Package
• I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. This is a proportional brake controller for 1 to 4 axles. This is one of our most popular brake controllers because it is easy to install and operate. I have attached a product review video you can check out. Since there is no port under the dash you will need to attach the brake controller to the wires that can be found under the left side of the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. I have attached...

• 4 Bike Rack Recommendation that Can be Used at Rear of Travel Trailer that Comes with Locks
• Swagman has the XP Bike Rack part # S64940 which is rated for use behind a travel trailer like you mentioned, can carry up to 4 bikes and has a lock for each individual bike. For a hitch lock you'd then want the part # S64029. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a...

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For a 2015 Forest River Rockwood Roo 19 Travel Trailer
• I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 to tow your 2015 Forest River Rockwood Roo 19. The weight distribution helps to reduce rear end sag and keeps your 2008 GMC Envoy level when towing. This gives you improved steering feel and braking. It will also help to reduce trailer sway as the hitch has sway control built in. This hitch is rated for a trailer weighing up to 8,000lbs with a tongue weight of 400-800lbs. Your Roo has a dry tongue weight of 446lbs with...

• Towing Mirrors Recommendation for 2004 GMC Envoy XUV
• For your 2004 GMC Envoy XUV you will need to use a universal style mirror. You could use the CIPA Universal Strap-On Towing Mirror Review, part # 7070, like you referenced, it would install on your 2004 GMC Envoy XUV. Or you could use the Cipa Dual-View Clip-on Towing Mirror, part # 11953. Both of these mirrors would work well for you, but if it was me I would buy the # 11953 because it has two mirrors per side for increased visibility as opposed to the one mirror per side that the #...

• Watersport Carrier Recommendation for a 2006 GMC Envoy with Factory Roof Rack
• The Rola Multi-Pivot Watercraft Carrier was designed to fit the specific shape of the Rola Sportz crossbars or a certain size T-slot on top of the bars. It has not been tested on other bars so I cannot say if it will fit or not. What I recommend is to use some foam blocks, like # RL100K10. These blocks are universal and can fit square load bars, round crossbars, factory bars and naked roofs. They also include bow and stern tie downs.

• Recommendations for Backing Trailer With Friction Sway Control Unit Installed
• Although it is not mentioned in the instructions, it is regarded as a good practice to disengage the friction sway control # 83660 before backing the trailer, which is why we specifically mention it in the product description. If the trailer should jackknife during backing, the sway control unit would be damaged. Because of this, I would agree with your dealer and would join him in urging you to disengage the unit before backing. You will also want to disengage the unit when towing on...

• Is Harness Extension Needed for Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera on 2005 GMC Envoy
• The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002 referenced in your question includes a 19 foot, 7 inch long wiring harness and your 2005 GMC Envoy XL SLT measures just a tad over 17 feet in length so most likely you won't need an extension. You will still have over 2 feet of extra wiring to account for the different routes you may need to take with the harness from the camera to the monitor on your vehicle. If you want to be extra sure you can try measuring the distance from your Envoy's...
