Expert Answers about Cadillac SRX


  • Recommended Side Mount Jack With the Lowest Retracted Height
  • Though we do have the Pro Series Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack - Bolt On - Topwind - 10" Lift - 2,000 lbs # PS1400300303 that will have a 11 inch retracted height, it will be quite the different jack and does not include a wheel. We do also have the Fulton F2 Swing-Up, Wide-Track Trailer Jack, 8" Single Wheel, Sidewind, Bolt-On - 1,600 lbs Item # F1413040134, but it will fit a trailer frame up to 3 x 4. It will retract to 12-1/4 inches, but if you have a 3 x 5 frame, the Pro Series Snap-Ring...

  • Where is the Tail Light Wiring on a 2006 Cadillac SRX to Install a Trailer Wiring Harness
  • Probably the easiest way to get to the wires to install the trailer wiring harness # C59496 is to pretend as if you were going to have to change out a tail light bulb (or LED panels or bulbs). There is a process to follow to access them. If you do this, it will inevitably show you where the wiring is for the tail light functions. Then use the circuit tester to probe the wires to make the connections. On some vehicles, you actually have to remove the tail light assemblies on the vehicle...

  • Dimensions of Optronics Replacement Side Marker Lens A36RB
  • I pulled one of the # A36RB lenses from the warehouse and it measures 2-13/16 inches wide by 2-1/16 inches long. The mounting holes are 2-3/8 inches apart. This lens fits the Optronics side marker light # MC36RB which measures 2-3/4 inches long by 2-1/8 inches wide by 1 inch deep. I am including a picture that shows the dimensions.

  • Can Roller Bunks Be Used On Pontoon Boat Trailer?
  • You can definetly use roller bunks to replace the standard wooden bunks on the trailer for your 16' pontoon boat, but you would not want to use 6" rollers mounted on 3 different brackets, as they will not be adequate for supporting the weight of your boat. With that said the easiest way to install roller bunks like the Boat Trailer Standard Roller Bunk - 4' Long- 10 Sets of 2 Rollers - by Dutton-Lainson # DL21754 you were looking at would be to keep the wooden bunks and mount the roller...

  • Can Dual Hitch Adapter be Used with Motorcycle Carrier and Tow Bar without Turning Interference
  • If you used the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 with your tow bar setup and motorcycle carrier it would take a really sharp turn to potentially cause interference since tow bars are pretty long. I don't think you'd have an issue at all but the first few tight turns you make you might have a spotter make sure the clearance is okay.

  • Can SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System be Used on 2015 Cadillac SRX
  • We had the chance to install the SMI Air Force One supplemental braking system part # SM99243 on a 2016 Cadillac SRX and we had filmed the install. I attached a link to this page that shows the install for you to check out. This is designed to be used on motorhomes with air brakes and can also be used on air-over-hydraulic brakes with an additional 1/4" DOT air line (not included).

  • Swing Away Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2013 Cadillac SRX For Lift Gate Access
  • If you have a Class III hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75682 on your 2013 Cadillac SRX I think your best option would be to get a Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier # 59109, I can guarantee this carrier would give you enough clearance to open the lift gate of your vehicle. Check out the review video I attached for this product also. We have not had the chance to install a Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier # TH665C on an SRX like...

  • Installation Process for Wiring Harness C59496 on 2006 Cadillac SRX
  • We have not had the opportunity to produce an installation video for this particular wiring kit on your specific vehicle, the 2006 Cadillac SRX. But I did link a video showing a typical install on a GM vehicle that will give you a good idea of what the installation involves.. Although the install on your vehicle and what's shown in the video will be a little different (wire colors, for instance), the overall process will be the same and each of the various steps outlined in this video will...

  • Recommended TPMS for 2014 Cadillac SRX Towed Behind Newmar King Aire
  • The TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-FT-4 would certainly do a good job monitoring the tires on your 2014 Cadillax SRX. This system comes with a grayscale monitor, updates every 12 seconds, and has a 3-year warranty. However, I prefer the TireMinder A1AS TPMS for RVs and Trailers w Signal Booster # TM76FR. This system has a faster refresh rate updating every 6 seconds, an LCD color monitor, and a 3-year warranty like the TST. It also gives you the option to monitor on your smartphone via Bluetooth.

  • Hidden Trailer Hitch for 2015 Cadillac SRX
  • There is a trailer hitch receiver that has a concealed crosstube for your 2015 Cadillac SRX, which is from Draw-Tite: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75682 As you can see by the accompanying photo, the crosstube of the hitch is almost entirely hidden, so only the receiver is showing. The center fascia panel will be removed so just a portion of the hitch is showing, with the rest of it hidden behind the remaining fascia. I have added a link below to a video review for...

  • Weather Proof Cargo Bag Recommendation for 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier M2205-2201
  • The recommended cargo bag for the Carpod Carrier part # M2205-2201 that you referenced is the Carpod Bag part # M2202. This bag is specifically designed to fit the inner dimensions of the # M2205-2201 so it would be the best choice. This bag is weather resistant so it would do an excellent job in the snow and ice you will be traveling in. For added security from the weather you can also put your cargo in a plastic bag before installing in the cargo bag. But realistically your cargo wouldn't...

  • Why Does Curt Hitch for 2016 Cadillac SRX Have Higher Capacity than Vehicle
  • A lot of times our hitch manufacturers rate their hitches for higher towing capacities than what the vehicles they fit have. This is just a way to make sure the hitch never fails. You always have to go by the lowest rated component in a setup for the overall capacity as you are only as strong as your weakest link. The American made Curt hitch part # C13002 that you referenced would be a great choice though. I attached an install video for more info for you to check out as well. Since...

  • How to Pick Out Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount for Cadillac SRX When Towing
  • That depends on the coupler height of your trailer when sitting level. You'd need to measure from the bottom lip of your coupler down to the ground when the trailer is level. Whatever the difference is between that number and the height from the ground to the top of hitch opening on your vehicle is the amount of rise/drop that you need. I attached a help article that covers this as well down below.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2015 Cadillac SRX
  • When towing a relatively high amount for the capacity of a vehicle it's a great idea to have an aftermarket transmission cooler. For a 3,500 lb trailer towed by your 2015 Cadillac SRX with a hitch like the part # C13002 I would recommend going with a cooler like the part # D13502 which will fit and work well. This measures 11" Wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep which would easily fit in front of your radiator.

  • Will Covercraft SeatSavers # SS2428PCTN Fit 2010 Cadillac SRX Seats With Seat Back DVD Player
  • You are correct the pictures are a typical photo and do not show the actual SeatSaver that will fit your 2010 Cadillac SRX with the seat back DVD player. It will just show the style of SeatSaver that is used for your vehicle. I checked with Covercraft and their application guide list the Covercraft SeatSavers, part # SS2428PCTN, that you have referenced as the SeatSaver for your 2010 Cadillac SRX with the seat back DVD player. It also specifies that this cover fits your bucket seats with...

  • Does Spare Tire of 2008 Cadillac SRX Need to Be Removed During Hitch Installation
  • In the installation process of the Curt Class III # C13050 hitch, the spare tire is temporarily removed because the heat shield and exhaust brackets need to be modified as shown in the installation instructions and the install video I've linked for you. When the installation is complete, the spare tire is returned to its original position. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need the following: Trailer wiring harness, part # C59236 Ball mount, part # C45030 1-7/8...

  • Is One Time Fuse Blowing of SMI DUO Braking System Something to Worry About
  • A one time fuse blowing of your SMI DUO part # SM99251 is most likely an anomaly that would be nearly impossible to track down. If you don't see the fuse blow again I'd just chalk it up to a bit of bad luck in that moment and not worry too much about it. I don't think your heat shield idea is terrible, if it would give you some peace of mind you may as well try it.

  • Will Engine Braking on Steep Hills in an RV Cause the Invisi-Brake to Burn Up Toad Brakes
  • The Invisi-Brake # RM-8700 only applies the toads brakes when the RV brake lights are illuminated. So if you are engine braking then presumably you aren't using the brake pedal and if you aren't using the brake pedal then the RV brake lights would not light up. Also if the brake lights were lit up the system automatically will reduce pressure after 15 seconds of continuous braking.

  • Recommended Trunk Bike Rack For A 2012 Cadillac SRX
  • I do have a bike rack that may work for your 2012 Cadillac SRX, the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # Y02637. The three bike option, part # Y02638, will also fit your vehicle, but your toddler bike will not fit on the rack. The bike frame is too small and there is not a frame adapter to fit a bike of that size. The HangOut 2 comes with the same QuickTrigger hub system, which will allow you to set your trunk bike rack to fit the shape of your trunk or hatch....

  • How To Install Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit On 2015 Cadillac SRX
  • There should be 4 diodes included with the # RM-154 wiring kit you received. I have attached a couple drawings that show how the diodes should be installed for a towed vehicle with separate wiring(turn signal and brake signal use different wires). You would put a diode on both wires on your SRX. If you have separate wiring on the motorhome as well as your towed vehicle then you will need 2 additional diodes like part # RM-792. If you check out the attached drawings you will see that...
