  • Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado Short Bed w/ Factory Tow Prep Pkg
  • Demco offers a reasonably priced sliding fifth wheel hitch that would work well for your 2020 Silverado 3/4 ton. For a 16K capacity sliding hitch, use the Demco Hijacker Premium Series Ultra Slide # DM6076P-UL-16K or for a 21K capacity hitch use # DM6076P-UL-21K. Either hitch would instal using the # DM6333 adapter. If the dealer didn't supply the safety chain hooks and the gooseneck ball, we can help you there. You'd need the Curt # C60692. The ball and hooks have a 30K capacity.

  • Recommended Auto Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • The hitch you need will depend on whether your truck is equipped with the factory tow/prep package with the pucks sunk into the truck bed and the weight capacity you're looking for. For a truck equipped with the tow prep package, for a 18K rated hitch go with The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 and the # DM6194 install adapter. For a 21K capacity, use the # DM8550035 hitch along with the same # DM6194 adapter. If your truck doesn't have the pucks in the truck bed, use the # DM8550022...

  • Recommendation for Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F350 RWD Long Bed
  • The exact hitch needed will depend on whether your 2019 Ford F350 has the factory tow prep package with the pucks in the bed or not. When it comes to trouble-free performance, durability and ease of use, you can't go wrong with B&W 5th wheel hitches. When somebody asks for the best, that's where we point them. The B&W Companion offers massive 1 inch thick jaws that contact the king pin all the way around for a smooth rattle free ride. Not having full contact causes the jerking and banging...

  • Hitch Recommendation For 2019 BMW X5
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76288 is a solid choice for all X5 models excluding M Model X5s. With solid steel construction and attractive gloss-black finish, this hitch will more than do the job for carrying your two bikes. With regard to bike racks, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR as a fantastic choice should you be looking at either acquiring or upgrading. This rack is very popular because it's platform-style rack that has lower,...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Mazda CX-5
  • Curt and Tekonsha both offer wiring harnesses for your CX-5. The Tekonsha model is # 118746 and the Curt is # C56377. Both install in the same manner, by plugging inline between the vehicle's taillight assemblies and the wiring harness that feeds them. No cutting or splicing required. Because the Tekonsha # 118746 has a higher amperage rating 5 amps/each stop/turn circuit and 7 amps/each taillight circuit as opposed to 3 amp/6 amps for the Curt model, I'd recommend the Tekonsha. Aside...

  • Can Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller Be Used with Electric-Over-Hydraulic Brakes
  • I do have a great option for you, however the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 is only compatible with electric brakes and will not work with electric-over-hydraulic systems. For a similarly-priced proportional controller that is compatible with both electric and electric-over-hydraulic brakes, I highly recommend the Curt TriFlex # C24VV. This is also a proportional controller so it will apply the brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as the brake pedal...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover for 5th Wheel Towing with 2020 Ford F-350
  • For your 2020 Ford F-350 (congrats on the new truck, by the way) I highly recommend the BAK Revolver X4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK79331. The reason I specifically recommend this cover for your particular setup (beyond the fact that it's just a great cover) is its unique design that features the durability of hard cover with its 1/4" thick rustproof aluminum slats combined with the convenience of a soft roll-up cover. Because of this rolling design you are still going to have a clear view...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 Buick Enclave
  • We sure do! For your 2020 Buick Enclave the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118761 will work perfectly. This custom harness is going to plug right into a factory port that's located beneath the vehicle on the driver's side. This is a completely plug-and-play install and it will provide you with a 4-Way connector to power your trailer's signal lights. I have attached an installation video that you can also follow along with.

  • Will EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Affect Rear Backup Sensors on 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • That is a great question, but I can assure you that the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7601 will have no affect whatsoever on the rear backup sensors on your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon, both during installation and when the hitch is mounted. The sensors are on each end of the outside of the rear bumper, which is well above where the 2" receiver will actually sit with the EcoHitch in place. I have attached an installation video that you can also use for reference.

  • Union Tee for Equalizing Air Bag Pressure with Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430

This is designed to work with 1/4" air lines, which is what the Ride-Rite system mentioned above uses. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.

  • Can Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates Install on 2020 Jeep Cherokee Limited with Tow Package
  • The correct Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee Limited is the part # RM-521452-5. The Direct-Connect # RM-521451-5 that you mentioned will only fit Trailhawk, Trailhawk Elite, and Overland models of the Cherokee and won't work on your Limited. I verified this with Roadmaster. The Base Plate Kit # RM-521452-5 will install without issue on your Jeep that's equipped with the factory tow package, which includes that extra radiator cooler. Factory tow hooks...

  • Will Wheel Masters Eagle Vision Tow Mirrors WM6600-2 Fit My 2016 Toyota Highlander?
  • The Wheel Masters Eagle Vision Universal Towing Mirrors # WM6600-2 are a universal fit so you will be able to install them on your 2016 Toyota Highlander, and they will be a lot more stable that the basic clamp on towing mirrors you tried. Since there are no Custom fit mirrors available for your vehicle I recommend going with the # WM6600-2 as they are the most secure option available. It is true that adding a wireless rear view camera to your trailer may have issues due to the aluminum...

  • Recommended Back Up Camera System For 2019 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 23MK
  • Congratulations on getting your new trailer! Your 2019 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 23MK is prewired for a Furrion camera. I recommend going with the Furrion Vision S # FOS05TASF which includes a 5" monitor and one camera to be mounted on the back of your trailer. This system is compatible with up to 3 more cameras which can be the side view cameras # FCE48TASL, or Shark Fin Cameras # FCN48TASF which can be mounted where ever you want. The # FOS43TASF you were looking at would also...

  • Can 2019 Toyota Corolla SE With Automatic Transmission Be Dolly Towed?
  • Your 2019 Toyota Corolla SE with the Automatic Transmission can indeed be dolly towed using a tow dolly such as the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1 you were looking at. You will want to load the front wheels onto the dolly, place the vehicle in park, release the parking brake, and lock the steering wheel. If the steering wheel does not have a built in lock you can wrap the seat belt around the steering wheel a few times then extend it out all of the way causing it...

  • Retractable Tonneau Cover for 2020 Ram 3500 Long Bed with 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The Pace Edwards Switchblade part # 311-SWD7936 would be a great option and what I would recommend for your 2020 Ram 3500 long bed. This is a retractable cover will easily cover your fifth wheel hitch when not in use and give you complete access to it by simply retracting it. In the picture I attached to this page you can see someone who had the same idea.

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty that Improves Ride Quality
  • If you thought the air bag kit made the ride quality too stiff and harsh then a Timbren kit would not be for you as it would make it much harsher. The best suspension enhancement kit we have for your truck for your needs is the RAS kit part # RAS3611-SLHD which gives you the support you want and based on our experiences improves the ride quality.

  • Recommended Lamp Kit for MaxxTow MT70107 Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  • Although we don't offer a kit specifically designed for the MT70107 cargo carrier, we do have a kit that would work, part # 98174LED which provides brighter, longer lasting and more energy efficient LED lamps or # 20174 for incandescent lamps. You'll also need two # BK70BB brackets which will allow the lamps to mount to the underside of the top rail of the carrier. The brackets are compatible with either lamp kit mentioned above.

  • Correct Replacement for an Atwood Water Heater GC6AA-9E
  • The correct replacement for an Atwood Water Heater GC6AA-9E is the Dometic RV Water Heater part # DMC74FR. This is a 6 gallon water heater that works with both gas and electric just like the one you have so it will be an exact match.

  • Assisted Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2020 Subaru Ascent with Thule Roof Rack
  • The best assisted kayak carrier that would fit the Thule crossbars on your 2020 Subaru Ascent would be the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 which allows you to load the kayaks at about waist level and then push it up onto the roof using the assisted gas shocks of it. It also has a 75 lb capacity so your 72 lb boats would easily work well. The other options you mentioned aren't terrible but since you asked for the best option the Hullavator is what you'd want.

  • How To Increase Turning Clearance While Using Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch is a great, lightweight fifth wheel hitch option. The kicker however is that it does not really provide much additional turning clearance which you'll need when towing with a short bed truck. I know this isn't what you want to hear but there isn't anything you can do with this setup to increase turning clearance, you can't make any more adjustments to the hitch and there won't be a longer pin box to use. The only option you have is to go with a sliding...
