So not only do both dollies have the capacities and width needed for your Uplander, they are... view full answer...
The best way to make sure the vehicle can make that long of a trip is to have it checked by a mechanic. Since we are not there to actually check the vehicle over it is impossible to tell.
You may be able to add a transmission cooler such as Derale Series 8000 part # D13503 if you have the space to install. A lot of customers add a transmission cooler to older towing vehicles to prolong the life of their transmission.
Here are all of the correct components to tow the trailer with the... view full answer...
According to my research, the 3.9L engine in your Uplander has 13/16-16 oil filter threads, and the oil filter uses a 2-3/4 inch diameter gasket. To determine which oil cooler is appropriate for your vehicle, simply match up the filter thread and gasket size to that of the cooler kit.
The # D15502 kit you mentioned is compatible with a 13/16-16 engine filter thread size and a 2-3/4 inch diameter gasket, per the product description and therefore would be the correct cooler for your vehicle.... view full answer...
Yes it can! You'll need an additional crossbar piece, but the Nighthawk tow bar can fit crossbar-style base plates, you'll just need to add a quick disconnect in order to attach to the crossbar-style.
The correct parts to make this work are the following:
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676
- Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00
This will give you the best possible option for a tow bar, for a few different reasons. It... view full answer...
If your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander has the 121-inch wheel base then the easiest hitch install will come with the Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # 13336 since this option is a no-drill install. This hitch and the 1-1/4-inch Curt # C12336 are the only such no-drill hitches offered. If your Uplander does not have this 121-inch wheel base then the option I suggest is the Draw-Tite # 75278 which does require drilling but costs less than others.
Written instructions for all referenced hitches are... view full answer...
The Saris Solo trunk mount bike rack # SA102 is indeed a fit for the Chevy Uplander. I checked with Saris and it fits the 2005 through 2008 models up the Uplander. I have linked a video review of this bike rack for you. view full answer...
For the Thule Apex XT 5 Bike Carrier, # TH9026XT, Thule actually thought ahead about the difficulties that you could encounter when carrying a womans or alternative frame bicycle such as the one you describe. The rack is also a great fit for mountain and road bikes as well.
So, they created the Thule Womens and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter Bar for Hitch Bike Racks, # TH982XT. One end connects at the base of the handle bars, the other just below the seat. This creates a means to fit in... view full answer...
According to Thule, the OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, will fit your 2008 Chevy Uplander. Make sure that when installing this or any trunk mount bike rack that the base of the carrier and the vehicle are clean to help protect the vehicle finish. view full answer...

For a 4-pole wiring harness to power trailer lights (or a lighted hitch cover like # RP86530) you can use plug-and-play harness kit # 118396. For a towing kit with ball mount and hitch balls use part... view full answer...
From my research your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander does not have the wiring for a 7-way trailer connector or a brake controller already installed. So the # 3015-P will not work for you.
In order to install a brake controller, like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 you'll need to hardwire it under your dash using our # ETBC7 kit. I've linked a video showing you this process on a 2006 Uplander. It's a different brake controller but the process will be the same.
You'll also need a 4-way trailer connector... view full answer...
The Thule Passage 3 Trunk Bike Rack # TH911XT, that you mentioned, will work with your 2005 Chevy Uplander. We have several trunk mount bike racks that are compatible for your vehicle. I have included a link through our fit guide to these compatible bike racks.
If you plan on carrying an alternative frame, womens, or childrens bike, that does not have a horizontal cross bar, Thule recommends an adapter bar be used, like the # TH982XT. This bar mounts the bike in horizontal position,... view full answer...
I have a possible solution for you.
First, though, the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085, will not work with your ElliptiGO 8C. The reason is because your bike doesn't have any tubes to latch onto, and the wheels are not large enough for a wheel-mount.
Instead, you will need to use a fork-mount on your roof. For a single one of these, we have the SeaSucker Talon Roof Bike Rack, part # 298-BT1004. This uses suction to attach to your roof,... view full answer...
I checked with Surco and the Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket, # SPS5060-1101, is listed as a fit to the factory roof rack (side rails that run front to back) on a 2006 Chevy Uplander
This carrier also has quite a few add-ons that you could get separately including an axe and shovel carrier, # SPAX100, light mounting brackets, # SPLT100, and a spare tire carrier, # SPST100. view full answer...
This SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box # SR7018 that you referenced is designed to fit factory cross bars as long as they are less than 4 inches in diameter and the cross bar spread of 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8" on center. If the roof rack on your 2008 Chevy Uplander fits these dimensions this cargo box will work well for you. view full answer...
