Expert Answers about Wheel and Tire Cleaner


  • Will Yakima SpareTime/Thule Spare Me Trunk Mount Bike Racks Allow Spare Tire Cover To Remain Off
  • As you can see in the provided photos, the tongue for the adapter plate for both racks extends past the face of the wheel which would unfortunately prevent the spare tire cover from being replaced. As for which to choose, I personally prefer the cleaner lines of the Yakima # Y02599 SpareRide 2, and the fact that it's a bit less expensive than the Spare Me # TH963PRO doesn't hurt either. Both racks also feature locking attachment knobs to secure the rack to the spare tire mount and a cable...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13394 for your 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE. This receiver is custom fit for your Highlander and is capable of towing a trailer up to 5,000lbs and supports a tongue weight up to 500lbs. I prefer this receiver as it has a hidden cross tube that gives it a much cleaner look. If you need a receiver capable of more weight than the Curt, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98844. While this receiver does have a visible cross tube...

  • Will The Curt 7-Way Opening Cover Plate Fit a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500HD?
  • Yes, the Curt 7-Way Opening Cover Plate # C29CR will fit your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. This will allow you to install the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56070 into the factory cutout. We also have the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM54FR which uses the factory style connector. This will provide a cleaner look in my opinion.

  • 5th Wheel Compatibility With A 2022 Ford F-350 with Factory Pucks
  • Yes, the B&W Companion # BWRVK3370 you reference will fit your 2022 Ford F-350 with factory pucks. This is a sliding 5th wheel hitch that will simply drop, and lock into your factory pucks for an easy, quick, installation. I also recommend getting a 7 way relocation kit # C57008, to give you the ability to plug in your 5th wheel much quicker and easier. What this kit will do is tee off your original factory 7 way, and allow you to add a 7 way to the bed of your truck while still retaining...

  • Can 5th Wheel Hitch Be Installed Over WeatherTech TechLiner Drop-In Bed Liner WT38209
  • 5th wheel hitch base rails require direct metal-to-metal contact with your truck's bed. It is possible to install a 5th wheel hitch on a truck that has a drop-in bed liner like the WeatherTech # WT38209 but it is necessary to cut out openings in the liner to allow the rails to directly contact the bed's corrugated surface. A utility knife and a straight edge will make the trimming easier and cleaner. Just position the base rail in it's correct location according to the maker's instructions...

  • How Often to Re-Apply RoadMaster Voom Gold RV Polish & Protectant RM-9940
  • Thank you for the photo of your new (and very clean!) Coachman Freedom Express travel trailer. I notice you are (wisely) using protective tire covers. The benefit of regular repeat applications of RoadMaster Voom Gold Auto and Marine Polish # RM-9940 is that your RV's exterior (including plastic, vinyl, fiberglass and rubber surfaces) is not allowed to take a beating from UV radiation or road nasties like salt. In the same way that a product like Armor All works best when re-applied on...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch And Wiring Compatibility With A 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 With OEM Pucks
  • Yes, the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16070 will fit into the factory pucks on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. This hitch has a maximum towing capacity of 30,000-lbs, a vertical load limit of 7,500-lbs, and also features a 4" height adjustment. I also recommend you check your owner's manual for your vehicle's maximum capacity, and compare that to the hitch and use the lowest rating. That way you do not overload your vehicle by pulling more than you're allotted. Additionally,...

  • B&W OEM Companion 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty With Factory In Bed Prep/Puck
  • For your 2022 Ford F-450 long bed with the factory in bed hitch prep/puck system there are 2 choices for a B&W hitch. There is a 20,000lb B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3300 or a 25,000lb B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305. Both 5th wheel hitches will drop into the factory prep/puck mounting points on your F-450. We do offer a B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device # BWRVXA3130 if you plan to use a lifting hoist to remove the hitch from your bed when it is not needed. Be...

  • B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch With 2013 Chevrolet Silverado Long Bed Turnover Ball
  • The B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 is designed to work in the B&W Turnover gooseneck ball # BWGNRK1012 that you mentioned was already installed in your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Long Bed. You will pull the pin to remove the turnover ball and drop the Companion in and latch in place. I recommend using a Lube Plate # RP83001 to extend the life of your hitch as well as quiet the ride. This will also make things a lot cleaner by not attracting dirt with regular grease.

  • 5TH Wheel Bed Rails and In Bed Wiring For a 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  • If you are looking for the industry standard rails the Curt # C16411-204 includes the above bed rails and below bed mounting brackets. If you prefer a system closer to the factory install for a cleaner bed the Reese # RP30158-68 provides you with the 4 outer puck holes for using a 5th wheel hitch as well as the center gooseneck hole. The 4 outer holes are the same dimensions as that used on the Ford Puck system so you can use either the Fixed # BWRVK3300 or Slider # BWRVK3370 5th wheel...

  • Can Thule Hitching Post Pro Fit on 2011 Toyota Camry
  • Yes, the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR is compatible with your 2011 Toyota Camry. I recommend using the Draw-Tite # 36416 because it features a hidden crosstube for a cleaner look (see attached). Since this is a Class II trailer hitch you can actually utilize the 4 bike positions of the bike rack. I have attached an installation video of the trailer hitch on an '11 Camry as well as a video of this bike rack on an '11 Camry for you to reference. You may also be interested in the Softride...

  • What Is The Difference Between an Under-Bed and Above-Bed 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit 2019 Ford F-350
  • The difference between the above bed rail kits and the under-bed rail kits for the 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty is the way they attach to the bed. The above bed rail kits for the Ford F-350 like B&W rails part # BWRVK2402 will give you industry standard fifth wheel rails in the bed of the truck which will stay in the bed once the fifth wheel hitch is removed. The under-bed rail kits will install under the bed and have either a gooseneck ball style fifth wheel hitch attachment point like...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Tailgate And Backup Camera Options For A 2019 Ford F-350
  • We do offer the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks # VG-15-4000 which is confirmed to fit with your 2019 Ford F-350 but it doesn't have a spot for a camera. A lot of people will just rig together a bracket to hold the OEM camera and mount it to the tailgate. If you'd like a cleaner look then you could switch to a 3rd brake light camera, which would also help with coupling up to the trailer. If you have the factory 8" screen then you can...

  • 03 Chevy S10 with LSA 6.2 engine
  • I reached out to my contact at MagnaFlow to get their take on this. The muffler is the tricky part because it's going to come down to space. A good place to start is the MagnaFlow # MF12279 which measures 5 x 8 x 30 inches. Another option is # MF12579 which is 5 x 11 x 28 inches. Both will fit your 3 inch pipes. For a 4 inch resonator # MF14419, which is technically a muffler but for your truck will be acting as the resonator. Another option if you want to go to a 5 inch is # MF12867....

  • What Is The Difference Between an Under-Bed and Above-Bed 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit 2019 Ford F-350
  • The difference between the under-bed and above-bed rail kits for the 2019 Ford F-350 is where they install. The above-bed kits like B&W installation rails part # BWRVK2402 will give you 5th wheel rails in the bed of your Ford. If you want the bed of the Ford to be empty when you remove the hitch, you want an under-bed kit so the rails will install under the bed instead of in the bed. I recommend the under-bed kit because it's a cleaner install and you won't have rails in the bed if you...

  • How to Trailer and Vehicle Wheels and Tires Differ and Can They Be Mixed
  • Trailer wheels and passenger car wheels are different and so are trailer tires and passenger car tires. Trailers wheels are tires are designed with different characteristics from vehicles wheels and tires since their functions are not exactly the same. Trailer wheels/tires are optimized to handle vertical loads while passenger vehicle wheels and tires are designed for cornering and stability. Another key difference is wheel offset. Wheel offset refers to the location of a wheel's rim in...

  • Parts Needed To Add 2nd Magnetic Connector To 5TH Wheel Trailer To Work With EZ Connector Wiring
  • You can use the EZ Connector Magnetic 7-Way Trailer Connectors # 319-R7-01 with the EZ Connector Magnetic 7-Way Trailer Connector # 319-S7-10 you already ordered. This will allow you to remove the cable completely and provide a much cleaner appearance for your 5th wheel. To splice the 2 male ends together you will match the wiring color for color. On the trailer end connector you will need to verify the functions of each of your connectors when splicing them together. The EZ Connector...

  • Using the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-2 to Carry a Car Spare Wheel and Tire Combination
  • The reason the Folding, Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier, item # TR-2, is not recommended for carrying powered vehicle tires and wheels is the construction of the wheels themselves. A Powered vehicle wheel and tire combination has a wide variety of different configurations, such as inset or outset, that can render the carrier unusable for the application, or create additional torque on the carrier that will compromise the weight carrying capacity of the carrier. Trailer wheels and tires are...
