Expert Answers about Pontiac Montana


  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 56077. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2004 Pontiac Montana
  • Actually, all you will need to do is install a wiring harness, # C55355, on your 2004 Pontiac Montana. But if you wanted to use those factory wires, because you have separate wires for turn signals and brake lights, you would first need to install a converter. The converter, # RM-732, takes the separate signals and combines them which is what a trailer uses. To wire it up your yellow wire will go to the yellow wire on the converter, green will go to green, white will go to white, and red...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Accessory Recommendations for a 2003 Pontiac Montana

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6
  • For your 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 you would want Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118396.

  • Is Larger 5.70-8 Trailer Tire a Better Option to Replace 4.80-8
  • A larger trailer tire basically wins in every category like you mentioned. Less rolling resistance, less affected by bumps in road for smoother ride quality, and bearings/hub spins less so in theory less wear and tear. So as long as you have room for a larger size it's a great idea. The difference between the two size of 4.80 and 5.70 is two inches of overall diameter. This translates into one less inch of fender clearance since the diameter of a tire is split on either side of the spindle....

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2009 Trail Sport 3,100 Pounds Dry Weight
  • You are correct in assuming the Dual Cam System will give you at the very least a stiffer ride, but the system may prove to be ineffective as well. It is very important to match the weight distribution system tongue weight (TW) capacity to your specific application. For instance, using spring bars with a higher TW capacity than a trailer calls for can lead to erratic weight distributing performance. To choose a system you will need to go by the total tongue weight. This is calculated by...

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Brake Calipers for a Boat Trailer
  • To replace the calipers on your boat trailer you will need to know the weight capacity for the axle that is on the boat trailer and the brand of the calipers. A very common brand is the Kodiak calipers, typically they will have 225 stamped on the caliper as well like the # KDBC225DAC. This system would work on axles that range from 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs. If you need a different caliper check out the link I attached that will take you to a page that has all of the calipers we offer. You...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Pontiac Montana
  • To install a cargo box on your 2004 Pontiac Montana you will first need a roof rack with crossbars installed on your vehicle.

If you have a naked roof you would want the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack which consists of parts # Y00408, # Y00124 and # Y00681.
