- How to Keep Battery of 2018 GMC Yukon Charged When Flat Towing
- I'd recommend using the 12-v charge line from the motorhome to provide a maintenance charge to the battery of the Yukon. You can easily do this by installing a Roadmaster Charge Line Kit, part # RM-156-25. I've linked to a demonstration video for the kit.
Keep in mind that you'll still need to stop every 4 hours or so and run the vehicle for a few minutes, as the charge line kit won't have the ability to fully charge the battery.

- Unfortunately your pictures are not working, but you provided me with enough information that I can make a recommendation for you. There are a few different parts you will need to add brakes to your trailer that has a 3500 lb. Dexter Axle.
Brake mounting flange (which your axle already has), Spindle which we know because you told me you had a 3,500 lb. Dexter axle, Brake assembly (listed below), Hub and Drum (listed below), Trailer wiring (listed below), Breakaway Kit (listed below) and...

- The P2, Prodigy 2, Tekonsha P2 or Prodigy 2 are all the same brake controller, # 90885. We usually just call it the P2. For your 2002 GMC Yukon Denali and the P2 brake controller you would need harness # 3025-P.
It is possible that you have a 6-Way connector on your Yukon. A 6-Way will have round pins, like # PK12720. But you might actually have a 7-Way blade style, such as # PK11893 which has 6 outside pins and one center pin.
Either set up does have a brake output circuit so the controller...

- Flat towing a vehicle requires base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting/wiring kit and in most states a supplemental braking system to operate the dingy's brakes. Each of these items is detailed in the linked article.
According to my contact at Blue Ox the correct base plate kit for your 2015 GMC Yukon XL with adaptive cruise is # BX1718. A tow bar that will work well with these plates is the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380which includes safety cables. You can use a magnetic type...

- A trailer that is equipped with an electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator such as the Titan BrakeRite EHB # T4813102 shown in your photos requires that the tow vehicle have a brake controller installed. The brake controller sends braking signals from the tow vehicle to the actuator on the trailer through the 7-way trailer connector. For reference the instructions for the BrakeRite are included. You need to choose a controller that is compatible with an EOH actuator.

- If you are using a decorative hitch cover in the 2-inch OEM receiver on your 2012 GMC Yukon you can use a standard pin-type hitch lock such as # C23519 or the extra-long 6-7/8-inch # e98881 from DeadBolt if the width of your hitch requires a lock with a longer center span. Both locks use a 5/8-inch diameter pin and include 2 keys. All such locks for 2-inch hitches are shown on the link provided.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 30 Foot Trailer Being Towed with GMC Yukon
- Since your trailer weighs 5,450 pounds dry and has a tongue weight of 680 pounds then it will likely have a tongue weight of around 875 pounds if it's loaded to its 7,000 pound maximum. The best way to find your loaded trailer's tongue weight is to weight it using a tongue weight scale, # e99044, when it's packed up and ready to tow. Then to determine the correct weight distribution system you will need to add in the amount of cargo weight you have stored behind the rear axle of your...

- I have some options for you that may work, but unfortunately part # RM-077-4, or any other hitch adapter isn't a viable solution. Specifically, the # RM-077-4 Roadmaster dual receiver is not designed to tow a trailer. I can only be used for flat towing a vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground. When flat towing there is virtually no tongue weight from the towed vehicle. Also, a hitch adapter that extends the hitch reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch and therefore effects...

- You will first need to determine why The Curt Triflex Controller # C24VV is not working. You will need to check the correct fuse that corresponds to the brake control and its power supply.
In the under hood fuse block (located near battery) fuse 36 is what you need to check.
After checking if the trailer brake fuse is intact, you should then acquire a hook probe circuit tester # PTW2993. When the vehicle is on you will want to test the power wire (black) running into the controller....

- I have a solution for you, but the Electric Winch # 2953AT is designed to work off of DC power, so it's not something you could plug into a wall outlet to work and it would require a 12v DC power source. Instead, you can use the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch, AC Powered - 2,700 lbs # DL24872 which comes equipped with a plug that will allow you to plug it into an AC power source.

- Yes, you can use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1718 to flat tow your 2017 GMC Yukon SLT 4WD as long as it has the Adaptive Cruise Control. If you don't have the Adaptive Cruise Control then you'll use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1716 instead.

I recommend using the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380 because it...

- Both the # 3015-P and the part # 3015-S will work just fine with your vehicle. The difference is that the # 3015-P will plug directly into the back of the P-3 controller, while the 3015-S would need to be spliced into the bare leads that exit the rear of the controller. The adapter would plug into the junction box under the dash, like you saw in the video. The controller must be mounted within driver reach, and according to the manufacturer recommendations.

The Yukon does not have an under-dash brake controller port like the Ford does so what you will do on the Yukon is wire in part # 20127 to the wires that are already present under the dash. If...

- Yes, you can flat tow your 2002 GMC Yukon XL. There are a number of parts you need in order to do this, and they are all available separately instead of in a single kit.
Starting with compatible base plates, for your 2002 GMC Yukon XL you need Blue Ox Base Plates # BX1682. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates as well as its long arms, which make it easier to maneuver when towing; it also comes with...
