  • Upgrading from a 4-Way to a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2016 GMC Terrain
  • The easiest way is to use our # ETBC7 kit to convert your 4-way trailer connector to a 7-way. The it includes everything you need from the conenctor to all of the wiring and circuit breakers. If you're installing a 7-way to power a trailer's brakes you also need a brake controller. If you need one I recommend the Prodigy P3, part # 90195.

  • How to Add Bike and Rack Locks to the Thule Passage # TH911XT
  • Glad to hear that you are enjoying the Thule Passage # TH911XT! You are correct that nothing is completely "theft-proof" but adding something to discourage theft is a smart idea. I recommend using the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533, which has dual steel cables built-in, for the Passage and then a cable lock like part # e98891 for the bikes. If you want to make it more daunting just add an additional strap or cable.

  • Can a 2020 GMC Terrain SLT Be Flat Towed
  • From what I was able to find in the owner's manual, it doesn't look like the 2020 GMC Terrain can be flat towed; I do recommend confirming this in your copy of the manual to make sure.

If you've got an AWD/4wd GMC Terrain, it will need to be towed on a platform with all 4 wheels...
