Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 1500

• Best Headache Rack for a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a Crossover Toolbox
• We do have headache racks that fit the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, but we don't have the Aries Classic model for this vehicle. Of the headache racks that fit your Silverado, the one closest in price to the # AA111000 that you referenced is the Buyers Products Kabgard Headache Rack - Black Powder Coated Steel, part # 33785104. It may not have the same look as the Aries Classic, but as you can see in the video review I've linked to below, it can accommodate toolboxes and does a good job...

• Yes, the Replacement Rear Stake Pocket Insert for Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A90165 and the Replacement Stake Pocket Insert for Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A70432 are different from each other. The main difference is that the Replacement Rear Stake Pocket Insert for Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A90165 is designed to work with 2014-2018 GMC/Chevy 1500s along with the 2015-2019 Chevy/GMC 2500 & 3500s, while # A70432 is going to work with 1999-2013 Chevy/GMC...

• Comparing Reese Steadi-Flex to Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
• When comparing weight distribution systems, you want to look at the total tongue weight range on each system. The total tongue weight consists of the trailer tongue weight when completely loaded and ready to go and then you also add any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Ideally you want your total tongue weight to be as close to the middle of that range as possible. The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66560 has a total tongue weight range...

• Comparing Blue Ox and etrailer Tow Bars for Flat Towing a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Duramax
• I'll pick the etrailer branded tow bars over the Blue Ox alternative any day because of some key features that set them above Blue Ox: - Triggers for easier disconnection of the arms - Integrated safety cables so you it's one less thing to remember to grab - Head adjustment to minimize the need for a high-low adapter (although you still may need one for a truck - see attached article) - Integrated rod to help keep coiled wiring off the ground - Stacked arms that provide a wider range...

• Comparing The Curt C45056 And C45154 Ball Mounts
• The difference between the # C45056 and the # C45154 is that the # C45154 is a fusion ball mount. Meaning the ball is permanent and can not be removed from the draw bar. The # C45056 has a removable ball. This allows it to be used in either the drop or rise position. Also, if you ever had a need to swap it out for a 1-7/8" or 2-5/16" ball you will be able to do so. Other than that they are virtually identical with a 7.5K capacity. If you will only ever be towing one horse trailer that uses...

• Difference Between Standard and Fusion 2" Curt Hitch Ball Mounts
• The Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45056 comes with a standard 2" hitch ball that can be removed and used in the drop or rise position with the ball mount while the Curt Fusion Ball Mount # C45154 has the 2" hitch ball welded to the platform so it can only be used in the drop position. The Fusion looks a little cleaner but it does lose that rise position so I recommend going with the standard # C45056 just in case you ever need to remove the hitch ball and reinstall it on the other side...

• Is RoadActive Suspension Standard 2mm Setting Equivalent to HD 1mm Setting for 2021 Silverado 1500
• Based on everything you have told me, you will be better off with the RoadActive Suspension HD # RAS54FR. You're already contemplating running the standard # RAS4611 at 2mm all the time. It also sounds like you're willing to adjust it for these trips where you're fully loaded, and you're definitely experiencing a lot of sag with all of that weight. Running the HD at 1mm will in fact be comparable to the 2mm setting on the standard. By choosing the HD you will have a lot of additional...

• Choosing Jounce Springs or Air Bags for 2017 Silverado 1500 LTZ Crew Cab Towing 9K Trailer
• If your weight distribution system is rated appropriately for your actual loaded tongue weight and installed correctly it should not make your ride particularly harsh, but you can soften some of the effect of that extra weight on your truck's suspension with a rear axle helper spring kit. Suspension enhancement kits are not a substitute for a properly rated weight distribution setup but they can help restore more of the usual ride quality you're accustomed to when not towing nearly 9K in...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System With Best Sway Control Properties
• With the loaded tongue weight of both your trailers being at or around 900 pounds, the Curt # C17500 is getting a little close to the max capacity. The weight capacity of the Equal-i-zer # EQ37120ET is better, but you are pretty close to the minimum capacity with the enclosed trailer. And I do agree this is quite the price difference. With that being said, I am actually going to recommend a completely different weight distribution system. The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System...

• Difference Between Timbren And SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer For 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD
• So the difference between the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S and SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA28 are the benefits they offer and what you are looking to get out of an enhancement system. The Timbrens # TGMRCK15S are jounce springs and how they work is simple but effective. When you have additional weight at the rear of your truck, like when towing, it will sag, causing the front of the truck to rise. This causes your front...

• Timbren Front Helper Springs for a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4
• The correct Timbren front helper springs for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 are # TGMFK15CB. The springs between it and kit # TGMFK15CA are the same but the brackets and hardware are different. The TGMFK15CA fit now only goes up to 2015 Silverados and is no longer going to appear as a fit for the 2016.

• Comparing Front Mount Trailer Hitch Options for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500
• There are multiple front mount trailer hitch options for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500, the Curt part # C31088 and Draw-Tite part # DT44HR. The Draw-Tite was designed to work on 2.7L Turbo or 3.0L Diesel engine models whereas the Curt is incompatible at this time. I recommend the Draw-Tite due to the wider fit range.

• Difference Between Access Roctection and Roxter Universal Mud Flaps
• The main difference between the Access Roctection Universal Mud Flaps # AC100001 and Access Roxter Universal Mud Flaps # AD100001 is the Roctection # AC100001 has an integrated stabilizer plate that prevents rocking back and forth. The Roxter uses a slightly different frame that slides together. Both of the mudflaps will be a great addition to your 2018 Chevy Silverado if you're pulling a boat, ATV, camper or any other trailer or gear you don't want hit with rocks, road debris, or grime....

• What Is the Difference Between the Hollywood Racks RV Rider and Sport Rider?
• The only real difference between the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR and the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR is that the RV rider can also be used on a 5th wheel, flat towed vehicle, and a motorhome while the Sport Rider can only be used with a motorhome. Since you're eventually getting a bumper pull trailer sometime down the line your best bet would be to use the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric...

• RoadActive Suspension Heavy Duty Versus Standard Duty
• The main difference between the RoadActive Suspension # RAS54FR and # RAS4611, will be the weight capacities. Both of these will install and function the exact same way, but the # RAS54FR will have a maximum capacity of 3,000 pounds and should be used with moderate to heavy loads. The # RAS4611 will have a maximum capacity of 2,000 pounds and should be used with lighter to moderate loads. I have an install video and review video included as well if you wanted to check them out.

• Do the Wire Colors on the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter Match the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite
• The colors on the wiring between the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR and the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3064-P will match in terms of function. It sounds like you are wanting to use the # 3064-P to install the # RED44FR. No plug is present under the dash, but the needed wires are already run. You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash. Since the # RED44FR comes with a...

• Recommended Ladder Rack for a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Short Bed
• I have a solution for you. First, though, the Thule Xsporter Pro Shift Overland, part # TH54RR, is in fact a fixed rack. I've had this updated. For an adjustable one, I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD, part # Y01151-59. It has a 500-lb capacity (the highest capacity of adjustable racks for your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500). I've linked to a video review of this below.

• Difference Between In-Command TPMS # NCTP1002 and # NCTP100
• For a smaller, single axle travel trailer, the # NCTP1002 iN-Command system would work perfectly. The kit provides 2 sensors and would use your smart phone as the control module. The # NCTP100 provide a repeater and 4 sensors, and would be a better choice for a longer tandem axle travel trailer. The only difference between the two is the # NCTP100 provide a signal repeater to amplify the bluetooth signal so it has an easier time reaching the phone and 2 additional sensors. I've linked...
