Expert Answers about GMC Terrain


  • Can Trailer Hitch Safely be Installed on 2020 GMC Terrain with Panoramic Roof
  • It is definitely safe to install a trailer hitch on your 2020 GMC Terrain with a panoramic roof. The only thing on your vehicle that will affect whether a hitch fits or not is if you have the model that runs on Diesel. For your application I recommend installing the Curt Class III Hitch Receiver # C77FR because it has a thicker powder coat than the Draw-Tite alternative so it will hold up better over time. Attached is an installation video of this being installed on a 2020 Terrain as well...

  • Will Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 56094 Fit with 2015 GMC Terrain
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 56094 is custom fit for your 2015 GMC Terrain and will work great. This will provide a 4-way flat trailer connector to power your trailer's signal lights once installed in the vehicle. I have provided instruction details and an installation video that you can watch to give you a better idea of the process for your vehicle. For towing purposes you will also need a trailer hitch ball and ball mount. I recommend a ball mount kit # 989900 because...

  • Is There a Hitch For 2020 GMC Terrain That Installs Above Bumper
  • There isn't a hitch for your 2020 GMC Terrain that installs where the fascia is, I'm sorry to say. It certainly would be nice to have a hidden option, but that isn't something made for the '20 Terrain, as they only make one that sits below the bumper. If that's okay, you can go with either a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver: - 1-1/4" Receiver: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C98CR - 2" Receiver: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77FR

  • Fit of Thule TH92BJ DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack for 2020 Terrain
  • The Thule # TH92BJ Double Track Pro you'd looked at would be an excellent choice for you. The rack can carry two bikes weighing up to 35 lbs each with tires up to 2-1/2 wide and wheelbases up to 46-1/2 inches. The rack only weighs about 32 lbs, so it's easy to handle. The USA made rack includes a locking hitch pin as well as locking ratcheting hooks to secure the bikes to the rack. The only thing I'd recommend checking is how far your hitch is recessed under the vehicle by measuring the...

  • Fuse Bypass and Charge Line For 2017 GMC Terrain For Flat Towing
  • You would not want to just disconnect the battery for the 2017 GMC Terrain while flat towing because the electric power steering needs to remain active during flat towing otherwise you will experience a harsh unpleasant wobble while towing. According to GM's service bulletin the 2017 GMC Terrain 4 cylinder was experiencing wobble while being flat towed because the original owner's manual required fuse 32 to be removed. They have now changed that to fuse 16 and not 32. It will also require...

  • Can A Weight Distribution System be Used With 2012 GMC Terrain with Factory Package
  • I was able to confirm in the owner's manual for the 2012 GMC Terrain with factory tow package that it is acceptable to use a weight distribution system on the trailer that you are towing. It is a great idea to use a weight distribution system if the trailer you plan on towing weighs more than half of the weight of the tow vehicle to avoid sway and reduce rear sag on the vehicle which actually puts less stress on the vehicle suspension. If the GMC Terrain does not have a trailer hitch,...

  • Can CURT 20x60 Cargo Carrier # C18151 Work on 1-1/4 Inch Hitch With 1-1/4 To 2 Inch Hitch Adapter
  • You can use the CURT 20x60 Folding Cargo Carrier, part # C18151, with a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter on your 2011 GMC Terrain, but you will need to remember that when using the hitch adapter on your hitch it will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. If you have a Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch on your GMC Terrain the tongue weight capacity is 300 lbs. Using the hitch adapter will reduce that to 150 lbs. So, after adding 70 lbs for the weight of the cargo carrier...

  • Finding Hole for Air Line for Roadmaster BrakeMaster on GMC Terrain
  • To install the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9160 through the hole in your dash you'd need to find a hole in the dash by getting up under it and looking. I wish I could be more specific but we haven't had the chance to install this on a Terrain so I can't. Another option might be to drill hole in the firewall.

  • How to Determine if Tires are Rated Properly for Trailer
  • In order to determine if the tires on your motorcycle trailer will work you will need to know the GVWR of your trailer. Trailer tires have a load rating, and 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 tires are the same size as 215/60-8 tires such as the Kenda # AM1HP28. Those tires have a load range of D with a maximum capacity of 1,165 lbs at 70 psi. You will need to ask whoever made your trailer what the load range of your tires are and if they can handle the weight of the trailer and motorcycle. Also, be sure...

  • What Hitch Receiver Will Fit My 2020 GMC Terrain SLT 2.0
  • I do offer a hitch receiver that will fit your 2020 GMC Terrain SLT 2.0. Unfortunately, the etrailer hitch receiver you attached to your question does not fit your vehicle. However, I do have a hitch receiver to recommend. If you have the non diesel GMC Terrain, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # 76419. It is a Class III hitch receiver with a maximum tongue weight of 675 lbs and a maximum gross towing weight of 4,500 lbs. My...

  • Will Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar Work With EZ Base Plate Kit 523163-1 for a 2010 GMC Terrain
  • The Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 would work very well with the # 523163-1 base plates for your 2010 GMC Terrain. If you do not still have the quick disconnect feature for the tow bar or are missing some hardware, you can replace this with tow bar base assembly # 910021-00. I have included a link to installation instructions for the tow bar in case you need a closer look at how the base assembly would attach.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2016 GMC Terrain
  • The Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern part # TH01594245 will fit the 235/55-18 tires on your 2016 GMC Terrain. When we installed them on a 2017 GMC Terrain we did not have any problems with them damaging the vehicle (see video). However, I cannot advise you use them as your owners manual says not to. If you are looking for a traction device that is compliant with your owner manual, I recommend using the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains part # PW1046. Should you choose...

  • Best Hatch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2022 GMC Terrain
  • I would be happy to help you. The Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack item # SAR83FR you were looking at is a confirmed fit for your 2022 GMC Terrain but it is not the best option. I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack item # Y02634. The Yakima has cushioned anti-sway cradles, a wide mounting pad to protect the finish of the paint and has adjustable arms too. I have attached an install video for this rack on a 2018 Terrain along with a picture of the rack installed for you to check out.

  • Will etrailer Hitch for 2022 GMC Terrain Work with Hands Free Liftgate Feature
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e59ZR which is a fit for a 2022 GMC Terrain will still allow for operation of the hands free liftgate feature if equipped. However, it will be slightly harder to use before as you must now place your foot on either side of the receiver and it can sometimes take a bit longer for the sensor to pickup the potion but it will still work nonetheless.. I have attached an install video of this hitch I did below if you'd like to watch.

This harness will deliver stop, turn and tail light signals to a trailer or other 4-pole-equipped device, such as a lighted hitch cover like # CR-007G. Installation consists of plugging in the connectors at the vehicle tail lights, attaching a ground wire and running one single wire up to the engine compartment...

  • How To Prevent Bottoming Out With Cargo Carrier on 2020 GMC Terrain
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76419 which is a fit for a 2020 GMC Terrain does sit pretty low to the ground therefore will reduce your ground clearance. There's not much that can be done for this but we can offer you the Ultra-Fab Steel Roller part # UF48-979020 which will help from tearing the hitch up. In regards to using a cargo carrier, you'd want one with a built-in rise like the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier part # e98874 with a 2" rise shank or the Reese...

  • Transmission Cooler for a 2016 GMC Terrain Denali with 3.6 Liter V8
  • Yes you can use the Derale transmission cooler # D13611 on your 2016 GMC Terrain.

  • Fitment of Rightline Car Hooks for Rightline Rooftop Cargo Bag on a 2015 GMC Terrain w/o a Roof Rack
  • The Rightline Car Hooks # RL100600 for the Rightline Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S20 are not vehicle specific so they will fit most vehicles. The neat thing about this cargo bag is that the clamps aren't your only mounting option, it also has a strap that can be wrapped around the interior of the vehicle. Rightline also has a protective pad # RL100650, this will protect the roof and help keep the bag in place. You may also be interested in using a tire step like # ALL647596 to reach into...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 GMC Terrain that Will Allow the Lift Gate Feature to Work
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e59ZR is the only hitch available for the 2022 GMC Terrain Denali that will allow you to use the hands free liftgate feature. However, it will be slightly harder to use than before. You will need to place your foot on either side of the 2" receiver and it can sometimes take a bit longer for the sensor to pickup the motion. The etrailer hitch item # e59ZR is custom fit and bolts to your Terrain with included hardware. I like this hitch because...
