Expert Answers about Cadillac Escalade

• K-Source Towing Mirrors for a 2018 Cadillac Escalade
• We do have a universal fit towing mirror from K-Source. It's part # KS3891. I've seen some feedback that these have worked for the 2018 Cadillac Escalade and they fit perfectly. They're designed to work with factory side mirrors that are between 4-1/2"-11-1/2" tall and have a lip alongside the mirror face. I've linked to a video review of this mirror for you to look at.

• Best Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Cadillac Escalade
• The brake controller I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac Escalade is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR because this brake controller senses the amount of braking you are applying on your vehicle and applies a proportional amount on the trailer brakes. It also has a very small knob that gets mounted basically anywhere you want on your dash or console. I attached a picture of what it will look like installed. To install it all you need is the custom fit install...

• Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2008 Cadillac Escalade Towing Horse Trailer
• I would recommend air bags like the Firestone kit part # F4186 that fits your 2008 Cadillac Escalade with autoride suspensions over Timbrens as the Timbren kits have a reputation of being kind of harsh when unloaded which is not something anyone would want from an Escalade. The air bags allow you to air them up when you need the additional support and deflate them easily when not needed so that your ride isn't affected.

• Timbren System Recommendation for 2005 Cadillac Escalade
• For your 2005 Cadillac Escalade the Timbren Kit part # TGMRG25C is a confirmed fit and will provide you with suspension enhancement at the rear of it to reduce the sag you have. These are a fit for your air ride model as well since your vehicle is all wheel drive.

• Parts Needed to Upgrade Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution to 1,200 lb Tongue Weight
• We do have the Equal-i-zer 1,200 lb tongue weight spring bars with the part # EQ90-01-1299 which it sounds like you are in need of. You should note that you'll have to replace the head of the system too since they are all different sizes based on spring bars that are installed. For that you'd need the part # EQ90-02-1200. The Reese bars would not work for you.

• 2016 Cadillac Escalade Tow Mirror Recommendation
• I have a solution for you but the 2015/2016 Cadillac Escalade has a new mirror design and none of our mirror manufacturers have a fit listed yet, but a universal towing mirror could still work. I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your truck. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure...

• Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Cadillac Escalade
• For your 2018 Cadillac Escalade the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRYS4 will work great. These jounce-style springs are confirmed to fit your vehicle and will simply replace the factory bump stop on the frame to provide additional support and improve the overall performance of your rear suspension. I like the Timbrens over air spring alternatives because they don't require any attention after the initial installation. With air springs, especially if you change the type...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for RV with 4 x 4 Square Bumper
• We currently have five bumper mounted 2" trailer hitch receivers that will work with the 4" x 4" bumper on your trailer. I have attached these options for you but I recommend using the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100. This trailer hitch uses steel plates to surround the bumper as opposed to the u-bolts in the other options. The steel plates will provide more support and also look much better than the u-bolt options. If you also need a cargo basket for your generator...

• Parts Recommendation to Flat Tow a 2016 Cadillac Escalade with Adaptive Cruise Control
• The Blue Ox Base Plate kit part # BX1716 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Cadillac Escalade with adaptive cruise control and because of that would not interfere with it. 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. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail part # BX7420 which includes safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For...

• Recommended Trailer Brake Controller and Harness for 2006 Cadillac Escalade
• For your 2006 Cadillac Escalade, I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This is an excellent, proportional controller that will activate the trailer's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your Escalade. It features an easy to read LCD display, storable settings, and continuous diagnostics that will alert you to any potential issues. This unit is well known for its reliability and ease of use. Then, if your...

• Weight Distribution for a 2009 Cadillac Escalade and 10,000 Pound Enclosed Trailer
• The first thing you will need to know is if the trailer can be used with weight distribution since it has an aluminum frame. You will need to call the manufacturer and they will be able to tell you if that particular aluminum frame is compatible with weight distribution. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight...

• Replacement Front and Rear Windshield Wipers for a 2009 Cadillac Escalade
• Michelin makes excellent windshield wipers that are visually appealing in my opinion. For the front wipers you would want a quantity of two of the part # MCH8522. For a Michelin rear wiper you would want the part # MCH9512 that you referenced. I attached install videos for both wipers for you to check out as well.

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV w/ Trailer Sway Issues
• If your current weight distribution system has a head like the one in the attached picture, I would start by adding a second to the other side of the trailer. Adding and additional unit like the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit, # 83660, would be the most economical option and could correct the issues that you are having with your trailer. As to a recommendation for a new weight distribution system, I have included a link to all of our weight distribution system that are equipped with sway...

• Recommended Actuator and Wiring for Boat Trailer Upgrade From Surge Brakes
• To add EOH to a surge brake trailer, you will need to add the electric components to make the actuator function. You can get the etrailer 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box # E99011 and then wire your actuator into that junction box. You will be able to simply connect to your current hydraulic brake lines. For your actuator, I recommend the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HS381-8067 or the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric...

• How To Find Replacement Bearings for a Snow Bear Utility Trailer
• I would love to help but we don't have any bearing or seal information for specific trailers. This is just not information that the manufactures release to the public. If you want to find the correct replacement bearings and seals you will have to get your hands dirty, there is no way around this. If you absolutely don't want to rip apart the hubs/drums and read the bearing numbers or measure the spindle using the attached article then there is one other option and that is to look for...

• Is The Same Brake Controller Install Harness Used on a 2016 and a 2017 Cadillac Escalade
• Yes, the brake controller install harness part # 3016 that you referenced is the correct fit for both a 2016 and a 2017 Cadillac Escalade. These both install in the same location under the dash of the vehicle as well. For a brake controller that plugs right into this adapter I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2019 Cadillac Escalade
• The transmission cooler I recommend for your 2019 Cadillac Escalade is the Derale part # D13504 because it's a plate fin style cooler and is larger in size at 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep which means it will be very efficient at keeping your transmission fluid cool. I attached an install video for this cooler on a similar GM SUV for you to check out too.
