  • What Is the Minimum Height of the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack
  • I checked with Thule but they do not provide any sort of lowest height setting for the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT. The reason for this is because there are not any stops so the crossbars will go as low as the bed depth will allow. This would also depend on where exactly the uprights were positioned. I do however have the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-59 which is a very similar option and this does have...

  • Where to Find Rating of a Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • A hitch will always have an ID sticker on it listing its capacities for standard towing and towing when used with weight distribution, even an OEM hitch should have this information on it somewhere, perhaps on the back of the hitch crossbar. The aftermarket hitches we offer for the 2020 Silverado 1500 are Class III and IV. The class III hitches like # DT42RR have a towing capacity of around 6000 lbs or 10000 lbs if used with weight distribution. The class IV hitches such as # C13393 have...

  • Maximum Towing Capacity 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab With 3.08 Rear End Standard Bed
  • A hitch will not change the towing capacity listed in the owner's manual, which will always take precedence. For example, even if you had a Class V hitch installed that had a 16,000 lb capacity, you'd be limited by the actual towing capacity of the truck. If your truck is a 1500 that has the 3.08 rear end, is a crew cab and has the 5.3L engine, the towing capacity is 6700 lbs, which is what the current online copy of the owner's manual states.

  • Recommended Parts to Flat Tow a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Your list looks good so far with the exception of the wiring. The Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX4370 and the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1710 will work great with your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500. The item # 50-97-410 wiring does fit your truck but it adds a 7-Way connector to your Silverado's bed. It's useless for flat towing. Here are the other parts you will need to flat tow your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500: Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil...

  • How Do You Measure A Hitch Ball Mount
  • Hitch ball mounts are typically measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. With this measurement you can compare that to your trailer hitch and know where the hitch ball will be located. For example, the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs, part # BH20, measures 13-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball mount.

  • Benefits of Switching to Trailer Tires with Higher Load Range and Speed Ratings
  • Excellent question. There is no disadvantage to using a special trailer tire with a higher weight Load Range Rating than is required by your trailer's weight. Doing so simply means that those higher-rated tires will tend to run cooler, since they will be operated below maximum capacity, and this is always a good thing with any tire. Heat is the worst enemy of a tire and the two conditions that typically lead to excess heat build-up are overloading beyond rated weight capacity and operating...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Location in a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 5 ft 8 inch bed
  • The distance from the rear edge of the 5 foot 8 inch bed in your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 will be 25-1/8 inches. The rails are 22 inches apart measured on center, so to determine where the rear edge of the bed rail would sit you would first need to measure 25-1/8 inches from the rear of the truck bed and then measure forward an additional 22 inches.

  • Wiring Harness for the Curt Echo Under-Dash Brake Controller on a 2018 Chevy Silverado
  • The Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller item # C27JR needs the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers item # C51451 to work with your 2018 Chevy Silverado Z71. That is why it is a confirmed fit on the wiring adapter product page and not the brake controller page. This brake controller will work great and have no issues on forest roads and you will have an easy plug and play installation.

  • What Winch do You Recommend for Pulling a 3,500 Pound Car on a Trailer?
  • I have a great winch solution for you. Unfortunately, the Bulldog Utility Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead # BD54FR is only rated to pull up to 2,500 pounds. With that being said, I recommend the Superwinch Winch 2 Go Portable Winch - Synthetic Rope - Hawse Fairlead # SW1140232. Not only does the Winch 2 Go provide you with 4,000 pounds of line pull strength, it also comes with straps, blocks, shackles to make your pulling headache-free.
