  • Compatibility of Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar with MX Base Plates
  • According to my Roadmaster representative, their older # 5250 Falcon tow bar is indeed compatible with MX base plates. To wire the tow vehicle and the CRV together, there are some different alternatives. A wiring kit like # RM-154 from Roadmaster would permanently tap into the vehicle's wiring. I've linked a video of the install for you. A bulb and socket kit like # RM-155 would permanently install an extra bulb into each taillight assembly. The installation is permanent, but allows the...

  • What is Speed Rating for Reese Tow Bar # 63180
  • Tow Ready states that the speed rating for the Tow Ready tow bar part # 63180 is 45 mph. If you go faster than that the inertia of the vehicle can compromise the tow bar in the event of an emergency stop or turn. Since most modern vehicles don't have a flat, metal front bumper like what this requires it's not an ideal solution for most applications. The Roadmaster Stowmaster part # RM-501 is somewhat similar and does not have the same speed rating. It will require you to install a Roadmaster...

  • How Do the Wires Connect to the Pollak 11609-EP / Junction Box and Is It Water Proof
  • The connections on this Trailer Wiring Junction Box, part # 38656, are made on the inside of this junction box with ring terminals. The wires will travel through the rubber grommets to enter and exit the box. This box is weather proof, but not water proof, and what that means is that it will keep rain out under normal circumstances, but if it were to be submerged the box would not be dry on the inside. My contact at Pollak said that you could probably apply a rubber sealant to the lid...

  • Can 2018 Ram 1500 Class IV Trailer Hitch Safety Chain Loops be Used for Recovery
  • Great question. You are correct that the tow hooks for a 10K Class IV hitch on your 2018 Ram 1500, like the Curt # 14374, are designed to hold the tongue of the trailer via the safety cables in a worst-case scenario. Since the trailer would be uncoupled in this kind of scenario the safety cables, and likewise the safety chain loops, need to be rated high enough to handle the weight of the trailer for an emergency stop. Manufacturers don't rate the chain loops for weight since they are...

  • 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...

  • Do I Need Resistors When Installing the Optronics LED Backup Light item # BUL52CB?
  • No, you shouldn't need a resistor like item # DI34ZR when installing the Optronics LED Backup Light for Trucks or Trailers item # BUL52CB. I say shouldn't because if you're installing these lights on a trailer your tow vehicle should supply plenty of power for them to function correctly. If you're installing these on a vehicle for additional lighting you will most likely need one on each light. To install the Optronics LED Backup Light item # BUL52CB you will want to use the PVC Grommet...

  • Will LED Light of the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Stay on and Drain Battery, 2006 Chevy Silverado
  • The light you are seeing on your Prodigy Brake Controller # 90185 will stay on for fifteen minutes after the controller sees its last activity. It only draws a few millivolts so you would not need to worry about your vehicle battery draining. If you let it sit for fifteen minutes you should see the light go away. The light should turn green once you connect your trailer connector from your vehicle to your trailer.
