  • Can Tongue Weight Capacity Be Added to Vehicle by Using Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs
  • Thank you for your purchase of etrailer 2-Inch Class III hitch # e98865 which is the highest-rated hitch offered for your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. Although this hitch has a tongue weight (downward force) rating of 350-lbs some combinations of power chairs and carriers could exceed the hitch rating, or exceed the vehicle's own tongue weight (TW) rating. Vehicles like the Equinox that are primarily designed for passenger transport, rather than trailer towing, can have fairly low TW ratings....

  • Ground Clearance with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 36408 Installed on a 2014 Chevy Equinox
  • When we installed Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36408 on a 2013 Chevy Equinox (it also fits 2014 models) it measured 14-1/4 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. But to the bottom of the hitch it would be approximately 12-3/4 inches (subtracting 1-1/2 inches for the thickness of the metal and the receiver opening). This will likely be much better than on a VW Golf. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # 36051. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Chevy Equinox
  • The best hitch for your 2023 Chevy Equinox is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e59ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Chevy with included hardware.

  • Recommended 4-Way Mounting Bracket and Hitch for a 2020 Chevy Equinox
  • You will need to purchase a separate bracket. I looked at our inventory and checked with our vendors. It looks like all the hitches for a 2020 Chevy Equinox don't have that built in tab. You'll want to use the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the Tekonsha item # 118285 connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road. The best hitch for your Equinox is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C77FR....

  • Length of Integrated Cable Lock on the Thule Archway Trunk Mount Bike Rack
  • The cable lock on the Archway, # TH9009XT, is indeed only long enough to reach around the nearest bike to it (the outside bike). My Thule contact stated that if carrying just one bike on the rack and you wanted to lock it, using the furthest out position is permissible and deemed perfectly safe. However, if you wanted to you could use a separate cable lock, like # e98891, and leave the bike in the position closest to the vehicle. I have included a link to a video review of the Archway...

  • Is Additional Transmission Fluid Needed When Installing Transmission Cooler on a 2005 Chevy Equinox
  • The amount of additional fluid needed, if any, when installing a supplemental transmission cooler is going to vary from vehicle to vehicle and because not all installations are the same. Once installed all you have to do is start the engine, put the vehicle in gear for a few seconds, return to park then check for leaks. If you do not see leaks, check the fluid with the engine still running and add fluid as needed. The volume of a transmission coolers does not necessarily equal the amount...

  • 2016 Chevy Equinox Towing Weight Limit for Trailers Without Brakes
  • The online edition of the owner's manual for your 2016 Chevrolet Equinox does indicate on page 193 that the maximum trailer weight that can be towed is 1000-lbs if the trailer itself does not have brakes. The vehicle certainly can tow more weight than this, up to 3500-lbs for the V6 version towing a trailer WITH brakes, but the issue here is stopping power and control rather than the sheer muscle to pull the trailer. The vehicle itself has a curb weight of about 3700- to 4000-lbs and a...

  • Yes, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B will work on your 2018 Chevy Equinox to carry your FeelFree Moken 12.5 kayak.
