Expert Answers about GMC Truck Grilles
- Recommended Grille Guard for a 2023 T350 Ford Transit Van
- The Westin HDX Grille Guard item # W88XV you were looking at will block sensors that it covers on your 2023 Ford Transit.

Bumper sensors will be be ok unless they're around the center where the grille guard attaches.
I have linked the instructions below so you can get an idea of what if any sensors will be blinded. Westin has some great...

- The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" item # 65078 mounts below the tow hooks on your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500. All of the grille guards like the Aries Pro Series Grille Guard with Mesh LED Cover Plate - Textured Black Powder Coated Steel item # AAP4085 mount inside the frame where the tow hooks are mounted. The problem is they occupy the same space on the front end of your truck. The receiver would be blocked by the bar at the bottom of the grille guard. You will...

- I spoke to my contact at Westin about the Sportsman Grille Guard, # 45-2290. He stated that typically, when measuring from the front of the bumper, the guards can extend out another 6 to 9 inches. He did not have an exact measurement so I would err on the side of caution and use the longer measurement. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.

- The interior dimensions of the Buyers Products All-Purpose Truck Tool Box # BP42FR are 47" wide x 21" front to back x 24" tall. There are ribs in the container looking from the front to back but they are offset so it's still 24" front to back no matter where you measure.

- I don't have the exact measurement you are looking for, BUT I can tell you how to locate exactly where the hitch opening will be on the front of your vehicle when it is installed.

- The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR has a 6-1/2" shank rise which means your bikes wheels will be resting 6-1/2" above the hitch receiver on your Ram 5500. Since I don't know where your hitch receiver sits in relation to the height of the front of your truck or the height of your bikes you'll just need to take this information and hold your bikes 6-1/2" above your front hitch receiver to see where they will be sitting once everything is installed.

- According to the 2015 Trailering Guide produced by GMC, a 2015 Chevy Sierra 1500 Double Cab 4x4 with the 5.3L engine and 3.42 gears can tow 9200 lbs, or 11000 lbs if its equipped with the Max Trailering Package. I'm assuming you have the 1500 series because the 5.3L engine is only offered in the 1/2 ton truck.
If you're unsure whether your truck is equipped with that package, call your local GMC or Chevy dealer with the VIN, and they should be able to confirm how the truck was equipped.

- To add a base plate to your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1740. This base plate kit is custom fit and has removable tabs. When you are not flat towing your truck you will be able to remove your arms and have a clean looking front grill.
For a compatible tow bar with the capacity to pull such a large truck you will need the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420. This tow bar has a 10,000 lbs capacity. It fits a 2" receiver and weighs...
view full answer... - How to Select Correct Weight Distribution Spring Bars to Match Trailer Tongue Weight
- Weight distribution system bars like the Blue Ox Sway Pro # BXW4006 all work well over a range of loaded trailer tongue weight (TW). These particular bars are suited for a trailer with a loaded TW of 550 to 750-lbs. All Blue Ox bars are shown on the linked page.
If you trailer's dry hitch weight is 456-lbs, then by the time you load your gear and supplies and fill your water and/or propane tanks it is quite likely you'll be in the range of 650 to 700-lbs TW. In this case these bars would...
