Expert Answers about Chevrolet Tahoe


  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2003 Chevy Tahoe
  • I have a solution for you, but a front mount trailer hitch like the # 31302 can only be used for a winch or for pushing around a trailer to get it in the right position; you can not use it to tow your 2003 Chevy Tahoe. You would not be able to turn properly with a single attachment point at the center of a 4 wheeled vehicle, it's not really going to be an option for you. To safely flat tow a vehicle you will need a special attachment called base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting,...

  • Is There a 4-Pole Female Wiring Connector Like the 3-Pole Bulldog Winch
  • The Bulldog Winch plug you referenced, part # BDW20178A, is specifically for their winches and we don't have a 4 pole version of it. If you're looking for a 4-pole trailer female connector you can use part # PK11402 which doesn't have the wire leads on it but you can add as much of part # DW03240-1 as you need since it's sold by the foot.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2010 Chevy Tahoe with ReadyBrute Tow Bar
  • Since we do not offer ReadyBrute tow bars, we don't have the clevises you're referring to that normally come with the tow bars, but I can recommend base plates and the other parts you'll need to complete your flat towing setup. The good news is that from what I was able to find out, the ReadyBrute is compatible with all of the major manufacturer's base plates- so you won't need any additional adapters outside of the clevises that are available from ReadyBrute. For your base plates I recommend...

  • Recommended Custom Towing Mirrors For A 2023 Chevy Tahoe
  • When it comes to installing custom towing mirrors on your 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe I recommend The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS49NQ. I recommend these mirrors over the universal fit mirrors because the custom mirrors will have a snugger fit and will produce less vibration then the universal mirrors will. The mirror has an easy, tool-free installation and removal and it has a black plastic housing that will provide a clean look that will also resist rust and corrosion.

  • Can I Run Two Transmission Coolers on a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe?
  • If you're planning on keeping your OEM transmission cooler then you will want to measure the space you have left to ensure you have enough room to add an aftermarket cooler to your set up. You will also want to make sure you are not blocking too much of your radiator and causing your engine to overheat. The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient item # D13503 you referenced is 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. You would be able to connect...

  • Cargo Liner For The Area Behind My Second Row Seating In A 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • You are looking for a cargo liner that extends to the edge of your third row seating when it is flat. The WeatherTech Cargo Liner - Gray, part # WT89AV, will fit the area behind your second-row seating to your rear hatch in your 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. We also have floor mats for your 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71. My recommended front mats for your vehicle are the WeatherTech All-Weather Front Floor Mats - Gray, part # WT55NJ, and the WeatherTech HP 2nd Row Rear Auto Floor Mat - Gray, part...

  • Tips on How to Choose a Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • The biggest factor to consider when choosing a trailer hitch for your 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe is the towing capacity of the vehicle and of the hitch. You can determine your vehicle's towing capacity by checking the owners manual or with your local GM dealer. Once you verify the towing capacity of your Tahoe, you will want to choose a hitch that can handle either the maximum towing capacity of the vehicle or the maximum weight that you intend to tow if it is less that the capacity of the...

  • How to Use 6" Drop Ball Mount and Hitch Bike Rack on 2017 Chevy Tahoe
  • I have an alternative solution for you but it will look a little different than the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 as the 2" drop you're seeing is pretty standard. To tow your trailer and carry your Thule bike rack I recommend checking out the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-204 which gives you the upper receiver as well as a 5" drop for the lowest receiver. If you have a ball mount with a 1" drop then that's what you'll use for this application, otherwise...

I have included a couple of links to instructions and a video showing the wiring harness being installed.

  • Is Curt 17499 TruTrack Weight Distribution Rated Correctly for 4800 lb R-Pod Travel Trailer
  • The Curt # C17499 TruTrack is a great system, but it could rated a bit higher than what you actually need (depending on your actual as-towed trailer tongue weight). The system is designed for trailers with a fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight between 500-800 lbs. The best first step is to load your R-Pod up the way you normally would for a trip, then find its tongue weight. I'll link to an article that shows how to do this, but a scale like the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044...

  • Parts Needed To Install a Dexter Predator DX2 Trailer Brake Controller On a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • The Dexter Predator DX2 Trailer Brake Controller # 58-8 will connect to a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe with the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter # 3016-S as long as you have the factory tow package with 7-way. You will need to wire the adapter to the controller since Dexter does not put a connector on its controller. If your Tahoe does not have the factory tow package you will need the Custom Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors # 30955 to plug into the wiring on your Tahoe and the controller...

  • Replacement Weight Distribution Shank For A 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 Trailer Hitch
  • You are correct, you'll just need a WDS shank that is capable of working with your 2017 Ford F-250 with a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitch receiver. I recommend checking out the: -Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2" Hitch # BXW4028. This shank will work great with your Husky WDS and your truck's 2-1/2" trailer hitch receiver, and has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 20,000lbs, with a maximum tongue weight capacity of 2,000lbs.

  • Brake Controller Wiring Harness and Mounting Bezel for Redarc Brake Controller on 2019 Chevy Tahoe
  • We do indeed offer a vehicle specific wiring harness for Redarc brake controllers that's compatible with your 2019 Chevy Tahoe, part # 331-TPH-010. This being said, might I make a suggestion? Unless you're planning on taking your trailer off-road, you really won't need the user-controlled mode offered by the # RED44FR Tow-Pro Elite. The Tow-Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR would be a less expensive proportional controller that's remote-mounted just like the Tow-Pro Elite. You'd use the same...

  • Are Universal MightyMounts the Correct Fit for a Yakima ButtonDown 6 Ski Carrier
  • For your older Yakima ButtonDown Ski Carrier you will want to use the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590. Some of the more recent Yakima accessories have specific MightyMounts that they use but pretty much anything that hasn't been made in the past couple of years will use the universal parts. If you don't already have the SKS locks and you would like to add them to your setup then you also need part # Y07204.

  • Parts Needed to Convert Hydraulic Brakes on Boat Trailer to Electric Brakes
  • You will need to simply measure the diameter of your hubs to get the correct parts. If you have 10 inch hubs then you will want the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA. If you have 12 inch hubs then you instead will use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA. Then you will run your # 12-1-1 wire to the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit...

  • Parts Needed To Install a Brake Controller on a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • The adapter plug you need will be determined by the type of brake controller you have. If you do not have a controller, I recommend a proportional type brake controller, such as the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 brake controller, part # 90885. It is easy to install and use. To plug this controller into your 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, you could use the OEM harness that it sounds like you have, or go with an aftermarket adapter, part # 3025-P. If you are using the OEM harness, it would wire to the controller...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Chevy Tahoe
  • According to page 4-47 in the online version of the owner's manual for a 2008 Chevy Tahoe you do not have to install a transmission pump to flat tow the vehicle. I do recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. The base plate kit that I recommend going with is the Demco Classic # DM9518200...

  • Parts Needed to Install Redarc RED44FR Tow Pro Elite Brake Controller on 2013 Chevy Tahoe
  • Good choice, the Redarc # RED44FR Tow Pro Elite is a great brake controller option. Really, the only thing you'll need is the controller itself. The 2013 Tahoe doesn't have the connector under the dash, just a bundle of blunt ended wires for the tow package. The # RED44FR includes a wiring pigtail that would connect directly to this wiring as follows: • Red Wire from controller connects to light blue/white striped wire or orange wire in tow package harness • Black wire from controller...
