Expert Answers about Cadillac XT5


  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13285 Fit A 2020 Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13285 you were looking at is confirmed to fit all models of the 2020 Cadillac XT5 and will fit perfectly on your XT5 Premium Luxury model. The # C13285 has a tongue weight rating of 750lbs, and a trailer weight rating of 5000lbs making it a great option for a bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack # TH934XTR, a cargo carrier, or even a ball mount for towing a trailer. If you can tell me...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility With a 2018 Cadillac XT5
  • We do have a receiver that is custom fit for your 2018 Cadillac XT5 but the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98865 will not. It is only confirmed to fit the 2005 - 2017 Chevrolet Equinox, 2010 - 2017 GMC Terrain, 2006 - 2009 Pontiac Torrent, and 2002 - 2007 Saturn Vue. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR for your Cadillac XT5. This will work on all trims with the exception of the Platinum Trim. It is rated for a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs and a maximum trailer...

  • What Valve Stem Will Fit The 8" Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20016 And Is Safe To Use Up To 100psi?
  • The Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20016 has a 0.453" diameter opening for a valve stem. Since you need up to 100psi I recommend using the Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906. This stem being metal is less likely to become damaged like rubber valve stems. The 5.70-8 Tires # AM10010(B), # AM10012(C) and # AM10013(D) we carry do require a 8" x 3-3/4" Wheel # AM20006. Other tire manufacturers may allow this same size tire to fit the wider wheel but I do not have a way to verify with every tire...

  • Roof Rack for 2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum
  • In regards to vehicles that have a trailer hitch - which would be put on at the factory - some of them can be removed, but some are welded on, and there is unfortunately no way for us to know which vehicles have welded hitches. Additionally, there is not a fit for a trailer hitch fit for a 2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum which would allow you to replace it. The roof rack is another story and that can be removed on a '19 XT5 Platinum. The roof rack on this vehicle (which I checked out and you...

  • Dimensions of Inno Phantom Rooftop Cargo Box
  • You asked abou the "maximum height above the cross bar of the Inno # INBRM466BK Phantom." This cargo box sits right on the crossbar so there is no height above the cross bar. If you are asking about the height from the vehicle roof to the bottom of the cross bar - that would depend on the roof rails and cross rails used. The interior measurements are not provided but the exterior dimensions are 78-3/4" long, 37-3/8" wide, and 17-3/4" tall. The case material is 2-ply and 3-ply ABS so...

  • No Drill Installation Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2018 Cadillac XT5
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13285 does not require any drilling into the frame of your 2018 Cadillac XT5. If you have a Platinum trim this receiver will not fit on your XT5. You will also not need to modify any of your panels for the receiver to fit. The receiver will attach to your frame with carriage bolts and square hole spacers inside the frame that will pass through factory holes. I have linked an installation video below of an installation that was done in our shop for you...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit for 2018 Cadillac XT5
  • A trailer hitch from a 2013 Cadillac SRX will not fit your 2018 Cadillac XT5, which means you will need a new hitch. The hitch I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac XT5 is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR. I like this hitch above the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13285 because the Draw-Tite has slightly better ground clearance than the Curt, which is important to keep things like accessories from hitting the ground. I have added a photo showing with this hitch looks like on a 2018 XT5...

  • Will the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror # CM11980 Fit a 2017 Cadillac XT5
  • Although we haven't had the opportunity to test fit the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror # CM11980 yet (as of January 2018) on a 2017 Cadillac XT5, it may fit. For our universal towing mirrors we only add them as a "fit" once we have been able to actually test fit the mirror ourselves. If you check out the attached photo you can see that as long as there is a little space between your mirror and the housing on your 2017 Cadillac XT5 it it will fit and work well. I went out to the warehouse...

  • Can Rear Bumper Door be Put Back on a 2017 Cadillac XT5 with etrailer Trailer Hitch Installed
  • Yes, you can reinstall the rear fascia door on your 2017 Cadillac XT5 when not using the etrailer trailer hitch # e62AR. This is shown at the beginning of the video showing installation that I have linked for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage...

  • Yes, the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH83JV will work for your E-bike and your husband's bike as well. The rack provides up to a 60lbs per bike capacity to accommodate heavier ebikes and its ability to mount via the ratcheting hooks and rear wheel cradle means that there is no frame contact required. That's a key consideration for carbon fiber and unique frames like the bike photo you provided (Thank you by the way!) It also accommodates tires up to...

  • Are Taillights of Vehicle Visible when etrailer Folding Cargo Carrier E98874 is Folded Up
  • For your 2018 Cadillac XT5 the etrailer folding cargo carrier part # E98874 would be a great option to allow you to carry extra cargo on your trip. Since the floor of the carrier is mesh too that means your taillights would easily still be visible when folded up like you can see in the attached picture. Also keep in mind you have a third brake light up high above the rear windshield as well. If you needed a trailer hitch on your 2018 XT5 the Draw Tite part # 76022 would be a great choice too.

  • How To Fit A Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring To a 2017 Cadillac XT5 Platinum Trim
  • I have a way you can install a receiver on your 2017 Cadillac XT5 as currently the only custom fit trailer hitch receivers available will not fit the Platinum trim. To use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR on your XT5 you will need to swap out the Platinum lower trim panel for one of the removable trim panels found on the other models of the XT5. You will need to contact a dealer for these parts new or check with local salvage yards for the parts you need. The T-One Vehicle...
