  • Should the Steering Column be Locked on 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI Towed With Roadmaster Tow Dolly

  • Will the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock Work on a 2018 Honda Ridgeline with SmartKey
  • The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock part # PAL8600 which is a fit for your 2018 Honda Ridgeline will work in conjunction with the factory door locks. The way it operates will depend on which side of the vehicle (passenger/driver) that you splice into the unlock/lock wires on.

  • Does Steering Wheel of Vehicle Need to Lock to Tow On Tow Dolly
  • When towing a vehicle on a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced you need the steering wheel to be locked so that around corners the dolly fenders don't hit the door or fender of the vehicle. If your steering wheel doesn't lock when the key is off you can use your seat belt to lock it. Wrap the seat belt a couple times around the steering wheel and then buckle it in place. Now pull the seat belt all the way out so that as you let it retract it locks. Now your wheel will be locked.

  • Is an Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator Compatible With a Vehicles Anti-Lock Braking System
  • It sounds like you are asking if the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Drum Brakes # HBA-12 can be used for trailer brakes if you have an anti-lock braking system on your tow vehicle. The # HBA-12 is controlled by a brake controller like the # RED44FR which does not rely on the vehicle braking system. Assuming you are using a proportional brake controller it will brake in proportion to the vehicle's braking action.

  • Will Pop & Lock Tailgate Handle Work with Aftermarket Remote
  • The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Handle # PAL8540 is tied directly to your OEM power lock system so if your aftermarket remote controls the locks on your vehicle then yes, it will operate the Pop & Lock system as well. I noticed that you input a 2018 Toyota Tacoma in the vehicle list. If that is what you will be installing the lock on then you would need part # PAL8535 instead of part # PAL8540. This will work in the same fashion as the part mentioned above.

  • Will the etrailer.com Stainless Receiver Lock Fit in the Factory Hitch on Ford and Jeep Vehicles
  • The Stainless Receiver Lock, # e98882, should work just fine on your Ford and Jeep vehicles, but you should measure the Outside width of the hitch receiver at the hitch pin hole just to be sure.
