  • How to Get Furrion Vision S Camera System to Work w/ Trailer Connector on 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Furrion tells us that they're currently working on an adapter that works with 2021 vehicles, but they can't tell us when that might be available. The solution we've been recommending is to use a hardwired trailer connector like # 119250KIT, and using it to bypass the lighting circuits feeding your factory 7-way. This will provide enough power on the running light circuit so that the # FOS05TASF Furrion Vision S camera system works correctly.

  • Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack Compatibility With Truxedo Tonneau Covers
  • It depends on which Truxedo tonneau cover you have for your Chevrolet Silverado. Some Truxedo tonneau covers will leave your stake pockets uncovered because the tonneau cover sits below the rails of your truck bed. If that is the case, you will still have a very tight fit between the tonneau cover and the ladder rack. We may have a Thule TracRac SR that is compatible with your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado. The ladder rack that is compatible with your vehicle depends on the length of your...

  • Replacement Ball-Plate For Reese Pro Series Friction Sway Control
  • The friction sway control kit that is used with the Pro Series weight distribution is the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660. The ball itself is welded onto the plate that is on the trailer frame so just the ball isn't available as a stand-alone part, but I verified with the manufacturer that there is a replacement plate with the hitch ball for this kit, which is the following: - Replacement Ball-Plate Assembly for Reese Friction Sway-Control System # RP58062

  • As long as your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has 4WD and A two-speed transfer case that has a neutral and four-wheel drive low setting it can be flat towed.

  • 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 Bed Ladder Rack Recommendation to Fit with Tonneau Cover
  • We do have some ladder rack options to fit with the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48121 on your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2' bed. I personally like the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System # TX46NV because it uses standardized crossbars that have T-Slots so it's easier to install a wider variety of accessories. This installs using clamps like your current tonneau cover so you'll need to adjust your rails when you install this. If you're just needing a standard ladder rack that's...

  • How To Determine Gooseneck Towing Capacity And Hitch Needed For A 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • To determine the truck's towing capacity you can contact a GM dealership with your VIN and they can look it up.
