Expert Answers about GMC Sierra 1500


  • Aries Nerf Bars for 2020 GMC Sierra 1500
  • The Aries # AAS2891 Oval Nerf Bars do not include the mounting bracket/hardware, nor do we carry an Aries a 6 inch oval Nerf bar/bracket kit exactly like the # AAS2891 that would fit a 2020 Sierra 1500. I'd recommend the # AA97FR for the extended cab model (what GM refers to as the Double Cab) or # AAAL234053 for the Crew Cab model.

  • How to Measure the Bed of 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and How Do I Know If I Have a Cargo Management System
  • To determine the size of your truck bed, you will want to measure the inside of the truck bed from front to back. Most accessory companies round off their measurements to the nearest half-foot so your measurement may not exactly match the options that we have listed. The GM Cargo Management System is a rail system which runs the length of the bed sides and behind the cab. The BedRug Custom Full Truck Bed Liner, # BRC07CCK, that we offer is made to fit a 5-1/2 foot bed without the Cargo...

  • Options For Mounting WDH Frame Brackets In An Alternative Location
  • One option is to relocate the propane tank tray. A lot of times the trays are attached to the A-frame with self tapping screws. You could remove the screws and move the tray front/back as needed. There is not any kind of adapter that is made for this purpose and you will have to connect the frame brackets 20-25 inches back from the center of the ball if you want to use a Blue Ox WD hitch like the # BLU75FR. Another option is to go with an Equalizer brand WD hitch like the # EQ37140ET....

  • Mileage Increase with Edge CTS3 EP39YR Programmer on 2015 GMC Sierra 1500.
  • A programmer, such as the Edge CTS3 # EP39YR will give you a slight increase in your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500's mpg. Typically, the mileage improvement is marginal, usually around 1-2 mpg. The actual increase you see will depend on several factors, such as the overall condition of the vehicle's drivetrain, driving style and the environmental conditions in which the vehicle is being operated. There really isn't a product on the market designed to drastically increase a vehicle's mpg. This product...

  • Correct Vehicle-End 7-Way Pin Functions
  • The photo you are referring to, which I have added, is actually correct. The left side of the diagram is simply the face of a vehicle-end 7-way. The right side of the diagram is what you would see if you pulled the connector out, turned it around and looked inside. That is why the functions (Brake Controller Output, Ground) are on the opposite sides. I have added a link to a help article on trailer wiring which I recommend checking out as it has a bunch of really good info.

  • Can Trailer Tow a Trailer With Golf Car
  • From my research it looks like the GVWR of the 2018 Forest River Work and Play you were referring to is 11,300 lbs so the GVWR of the trailer and golf cart you wanted to haul would need to be less than 1,200 lbs (due to the 12,500 lb towing capacity of your truck). That seems unlikely, and you would also need to stay within the tongue weight rating of no more than 1,500 lbs, which is something you would only be able to find out once the trailer(s) are fully loaded either by using a scale...

  • Does the Curt Front Hitch # C31069 Have a Class Rating?
  • I confirmed with Curt that the Curt Front Mount Hitch - 2" # C31069 does not have a specific class rating. However, based on its 500 pound tongue weight capacity and a 5,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity, it would fall between the class II and class III weight ratings of a rear hitch. I have attached a chart to make this determination clearer. When considering the class, the most important factor is the size of the receiver opening (which is 2 inches) and the weight capacities. Another...

  • How to Determine Which Ball Mount to Choose
  • The ball mount you need will depend on several factors, including the height of the trailer hitch, the height of the trailer coupler when the trailer is level and how heavy the trailer is. As a first step, you'll need to determine the rise or drop you'l need. Simply measure from the inside top of the receiver tube to the ground. Then with the trailer level, measure from the bottom edge of the coupler to the ground. The height difference is the rise or drop. If the hitch is taller, you'll...
