  • Availability of Adapter to Connect Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Base Plates
  • Blue Ox Base Plates, such as the Base Plate Kit # BX1709 that is confirmed to fit your 2007 Chevy TrailBlazer, are designed for use with motor home mounted tow bars only. Since the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-583 that you referenced is a coupler/vehicle mounted tow bar, there is not an adapter available that will allow it to fit the Blue Ox Base Plates on your vehicle. Since you already have Blue Ox base plates installed on your vehicle, your best option will be to go with a Blue...

  • When Using Curt Cargo Carrier in 1-1/4 inch Hitch is Same Hitch Pin Used
  • When using the Curt hitch carrier part # C18110 in a 1-1/4 inch hitch you'd need to take off the 2 inch hitch adapter on the end of the shank. This will allow it to fit the smaller hitch size. The same threaded hitch pin gets used whether you use the 2 inch adapter or not as the shank has threads in it that the bolt threads too which allows the bolt to lock it against the hitch tube.

  • Replacement Brake Controller Recommendation for Tekonsha Voyager that Won't Level
  • If the leveling of your brake controller isn't working properly that wouldn't indicate a problem with the vehicle. Instead that would indicate the controller is either not level side to side or has an internal problem. This is actually the second Voyager I've seen in the past couple days with this exact problem. The other guy ended up determining it was an internal problem and had to replace his. For a brake controller replacement I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 412 lb Hitch Weight and Upgrade to Larger Trailer Soon
  • For your weight distribution system, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37060ET. This system is rated for total tongue weights between 200 and 600 lbs. That weight rating includes the loaded trailer weight as well as any weight behind the rear axle of your towing vehicle. The bolt on trailer mounts are recommended to be positioned between 27 and 32 inches back from the center of your coupler and the bars are the 36 inches you stated. This...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer SS with 6.0 Liter
  • The best way to pick out a transmission cooler for a vehicle is to go with the largest one that will fit the available space in front of the radiator of your vehicle. The Derale Cooler part # D13504 is a large cooler that would do an excellent job. It measures 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep. You should have room for this cooler but you still might measure just to be sure. You will also want the fitting part # D13035 to make installing the cooler easier. This fitting will allow you to...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer
  • First you will need to start with a base plate kit, for that you would want the Roadmaster XL Kit part # 3109-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not...

  • What Ski and Snowboard Rack is Recommended for a Chevy Trailblazer
  • If you have a factory roof rack on your Trailblazer, I would suggest using Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard carrier, part # TH7326. The rack uses Thules Speed Link fastening system to clamp right on your factory roof rack cross bars and it will hold up to 6 skis or 4 snowboards without any tools needed. To see a product video featuring the Thule SnowPack, click on the provided link. If your Trailblazer does not have the factory roof rack, please respond with the model year of your vehicle...

  • Do Transmission Coolers Affect Cooling Capacity of Radiator
  • Putting a transmission cooler in front of the radiator will very slightly reduce the cooling capacity of the radiator that is on the vehicle. However, most radiators are more than adequate for the vehicle they are installed on so when you reduce their efficiency it goes unnoticed since the radiator was overkill for the vehicle.

  • Does a Hitch Mount Motorcycle Carrier Reduce Tongue Weight Capacity Like a Hitch Extender
  • We are talking about 2 different animals. A motorcycle carrier does not reduce the tongue weight capacity of a trailer hitch like a hitch extender does. So if the tongue weight capacity of the hitch AND vehicle is greater than the combined weight of the bike and motorcycle carrier then you are within the capacity and will be good to go. You might consider a lighter carrier such as # e98873 which weighs about 58 pounds so it would reduce the stress on the hitch.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Trailblazer Towing a 28 Foot 5,000-Lb Trailer
  • Most likely what would cause the sway control plate to bend is from backing up your trailer in a tight situation. The sharp turning when backing up would cause the friction sway control to be completely compressed and then put the strain on the sway control plate and cause it to bend. With the trailer being 28 feet long that would probably put you in more situations where you might encounter sharp turning when backing up. Weight distributing systems should be used any time the trailer...

  • Recommended Rubber Floor Mats for a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer EXT 2nd, 3rd and Cargo Area
  • I recommend the WeatherTech floor mats # WTW50 for the 2nd and 3rd row of your 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. I called our representative at WeatherTech to confirm the fit. They are manufactured from thermoplastic rubber. These mats are specially designed not to curl, crack or harden, even in sub-zero temperatures. They also come in gray # WTW50GR and tan # WTW50TN. For your cargo area, we currently offer a few thermoplastic cargo floor mats. I included a link to all of them. They are custom...

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2005 Chevy TrailBlazer
  • The best solution for squatting caused by a trailer is weight distribution. And the best solution for squat caused by a load in the vehicle is suspension enhancement. And the two can sometime work against each other. Suspension enhancement can help with a trailer, too, but it is more for a loaded vehicle. Timbren springs # TGMRETB would be my choice for suspension enhancement. The unloaded ride will stay about the same while the loaded ride will be better supported and that sag will be...

  • Drop Weight Distribution Shank for Curt Weight Distribution to Tow Level
  • Sounds like you need a larger drop shank to allow your trailer to tow level. Since you need approximately 6 inches of drop you'd want the Curt shank # C17124. This can do a drop of up to 9 inches which would work well.

  • Availability of Trailer Coupler to Fit 2-1/2 inch Channel for 2 inch Coupler Ball
  • We have the Fulton Coupler part # F222500301 which fits a 2-1/2 inch channel and a 2 inch hitch ball like you said you need. It doesn't have the same bolt pattern as what your current coupler has though so you may have to redrill a hole or have it welded.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2008 Chevy Trailblazer
  • For your 2008 Chevy Trailblazer you are going to need to use a universal style towing mirror like the K Source Universal Towing part # 11953 (sold individually) or the Clip-On Mirror we offer from K-Source, part # KS3891 that I like better, as I believe its ratcheting straps make for a more secure connection. You can see a product demonstration video of both these mirrors by clicking the provided link. The Original Custom Towing Mirror Slide-On Mirrors # CTM1600 that you referenced are...

  • Spare Trailer Tire Carrier Recommendations for a 1995 Coleman Utah Pop-up Camper
  • A lot depends on the wheel bolt pattern of your spare tire and the frame size of the trailer. I have included a link to an FAQ article on measuring for bolt pattern for you. If you have a frame that is up to 3 inches wide by 4 inches high, AND you have a 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern with 10 inch or larger wheels, go with the Fulton carrier, # FSTC1000301. For 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels (except 5 on 5 bolt pattern) and wheels up to 16-1/2 inches in diameter with a trailer frame up to 3...

  • Weight Distribution for a Trailer with 600 Pounds Tongue Weight Towed by a 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer
  • When calculating the tongue weight for weight distribution you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of your 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer. If that figure still falls below the 750 pound limit of Pro Series system # PS49582 then it will work for you. For a 2 inch ball that will work with this system use # A-90. The weight distribution system comes with one sway control bar but you will probably...
