Expert Answers about GMC Sierra New Body


  • Can the Factory Brake Controller be Bypassed on a 2007 GMC Sierra New Body Style
  • Yes, you can bypass the factory brake controller on your 2007 GMC Sierra new body style. You will need to add enough 10 gauge blue wire, # 10-1-1, to reach from the cab of the truck to the 7-Way at the rear of the truck. It is sold in 1 foot increments so a quantity of 1 would be 1 foot. I would recommend at least 20 feet. I have included a link to a help article that explains the process of bypassing the factory controller for you. For a brake controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because...

  • Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Short Bed
  • First thing you need to do is check the owners manual to determine what the towing capacities are for your 2007 GMC Sierra 1500. You will need to add up the weight of your trailer and horses and compare that figure to the capacity to determine if it would be adequate or not. For a gooseneck hitch the Draw Tite part # 9465-54 that you referenced would fit your vehicle and would work well. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 GMC Sierra New Body
  • There was a generation change between the 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2014 Silverado so a hitch from one vehicle wouldn't fit the other. For your 2007 Sierra you would want the # 13322 that you referenced. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and...

  • Recommended TruXedo Replacement Tarp For A 2007 Sierra New Body Style
  • Having the 271101 number from the bottom of your current tarp actually makes life significantly easier. This will mean you have the TruXedo TruXport # TX271101 Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover and the Replacement Tarp # TX271101-CVR will be the direct replacement. Before adding the part to your cart, make sure to enter the serial number. This is a verifier for TruXedo and it really does help when it's entered.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Forest River Highwall Pop Up Camper
  • To use a bike rack on your towable camper, you'll need to install a frame mounted trailer hitch receiver instead, like the Curt adjustable RV and camper hitch receiver # 13703, which fits trailers with frames between 22 and 72 inches. For a three bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Original # S64152-2 or for a 4 bike rack, I recommend the Yakima LongHaul # Y02476, both of which are approved to be used behind an RV or camper, like yours.

  • Which Nuts Needed to Complete Brake Controller Connections At Fuse Box on 2007 GMC Sierra New Body
  • There are two threaded studs on the front of the power distribution box (closest to the front bumper) that will need to have the 12-V feed to the trailer connector and the power feed to the brake controller connected if they aren't already. As you've likely found, GM decided to save the $ 0.25 it would have cost them to supply the nuts needed to secure the wires to the studs. Both studs are different sizes, you'll need a M6-1.0 nut which we carry as part # 185916 and an M8-1.25 nut which...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler on 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD for Towing Up Mountains
  • For your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD with the 6.0L engine I highly recommend the Derale Dyno-Cool Remote Cooler with Fan # D12743. Since traditional aftermarket coolers still rely on airflow for optimal performance, a unit like this one that features an integrated fan is the best solution for applications like yours since you likely aren't driving too fast up and down those hills. This unit will do a great job of supplementing the factory cooler to keep temperatures down and since it has the...

  • The Battery on the Hopkins Engager Breakaway Kit is not Charging When Used With a 2007 GMC Sierra
  • The Hopkins Engager Breakaway Kit, # 20099, takes about 20 minutes to recharge. Your 2007 GMC Sierra New Body must be running to charge the battery. The charging light on the breakaway kit will always stay on as long as the trailer is connected to the tow vehicle, but that does not mean the battery is charging. If you let your vehicle run and the battery will not charge, then you can take the battery to a local automotive store and have them test the battery. I have linked the installation...

  • Best 5th Wheel Towing Setup for a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  • Since you have a short bed (6-1/2') on your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD, you will need a rolling hitch or more commonly referred to as a sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 397 Heartland Edge Toy Hauler to make tight turns. The general rule of thumb is that if you're towing a 5th wheel trailer with a truck that has a bed shorter than 8' then you will need a sliding hitch to gain clearance between the trailer and the cab of your vehicle while turning to prevent them from contacting one another,...

  • Brophy Truck Bed Camper Tie Downs for 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 New Body 8-Foot Bed
  • If you prefer a stake-pocket-mounted tie down the Brophy kit # TDSF will fit most full-size, non-dually pickup trucks with straight fenders and single-wall construction. Drilling is required and this kit works with campers up to 8-feet in length. Other camper tie down fits on your truck depend on its exact configuration. The drop-down menu tool on the linked page will let you select your truck's configuration. As an example, for the 2007 Sierra 1500 long bed extended cab without step but...

  • Correct B&W Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2007 GMC Sierra New Body 1500
  • The only B&W trailer hitch receiver we have for your 2007 GMC Sierra New Body 1500 is the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver part # BWHDRH25217. As long as you have the standard rear bumper and not the deep 10" drop bumper then this hitch will work well for you. The B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver is a Class V hitch with a 2" receiver tube opening. It comes with all hardware and everything you will need for installation. I have attached an install video of this hitch on a similar...

  • Difference Between Tire Sizes 6.00-9 and 6.90/6.00-9
  • The 6.90/6.00-9 tire size is the same as your 6.00-9 tire size. Trailer tire sizing went through a change in the way the sizes are listed, and the 6.90/6.00-9 size lists both the newer and older sizes in order to indicate that the tire will work as a replacement for both tire size listings. The only 6.90/6.00-9 size tire we offer is the Kenda Loadstar K364 Trailer Tire # AM10040.

  • Will K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors KS808000 fit a 2007 New Body GMC Sierra
  • The K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors, part KS80800, are sold in pairs so the price you see is for a complete set for driver and passenger side. However, the KSource 80800 mirrors do not fit anything after the 2007 old body style manual mirrors. The good news is, we do have some other slip-over towing mirrors that will fit. We have a pair from Longview, part # CTM1600 that will fit. We also have CIPA left mirror, part # 10901 and right mirror part # 10902. I have added a link to these parts below.

  • Recommended Front Mount Hitch for 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab
  • I do have an option for you, however the Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver # 31322 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 2015 GMC Sierra. This particular hitch is designed for earlier models of the Sierra 1500 (2008-2013) and will not fit with the frame on your 2015 model. If you have the Sierra 1500, I instead recommend the Curt Front Mount Hitch # C31069. This hitch is confirmed to fit your truck and it features a simple, bolt-on installation. It has a line pull rating...

  • Will B&W Companion Work With Blue Ox Gooseneck on 2007 GMC Sierra 2500?
  • The B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3500 would not work with a Blue Ox gooseneck on your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500. In order to use the Companion you would need to install the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1067-5W. This install kit also serves as a gooseneck hitch and is a confirmed fit for your '07 Sierra New Body Style. I've added links to video reviews and installs of both parts for you to check out.

  • Making a Fifth Wheel Slider Hitch into a Non-Slider on an 8 foot Truck Bed
  • With an 8 foot bed, there really is no benefit to having a slider hitch, unless the hitch is improperly installed. You can either leave everything as is and not use the slider, or you can purchase the legs to switch it out. The Replacement Fifth Wheel Legs for Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Reese are part number 30727.

  • Is the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter w/ Power Switch # FR69SR Needed on a 2007 GMC 2500
  • You will not need the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter w/ Power Switch for Furrion RV Observation Camera # FR69SR to hook up your camera system. This adapter was only designed for trucks from 2019 - 2020 because of those trucks not delivering enough power on the running lamp circuit for the camera system to operate fully. I would suggest checking the fuses to make sure there are none that are blown. I would also re-check the wiring, especially the ground wires to make sure everything is connected...

  • Can a Supplemental Transmission Cooler be Installed on a 2007 GMC Sierra with Tow Package
  • Trucks like your 2007 GMC Sierra that have a factory tow package will normally have either an upgraded transmission cooler or one that is external from the radiator and is thus more efficient. If you do not have the type that is external then adding a supplemental cooler is still a good idea. Transmission fluid cannot be overcooled and keeping the fluid in the optimum operating range of 160 to 200 degrees F will help prolong the transmission life. The weight of the trailer is as much...
