- Panel Trimming Required For The Curt Receiver # C13394 Installation on a 2017 Toyota Highlander
- For the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver to be mounted to your 2017 Toyota Highlander Limited there are 2 panels that will need to be trimmed. The underbody panel on the non-exhaust side needs to be trimmed to accept the receiver so that it can bolt to the frame. The rear fascia needs trimmed in multiple places as the receiver cross tube will fit behind it and be hidden from view. I have included a picture of the panels that will be trimmed from the installation instruction for this receiver....

- What I think you are asking is if your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic with RS trim is able to be flat towed. We always suggest that you refer to your vehicle specific owners manual for most accurate information as the OEM should be final authority on vehicle specs. However, from the information available to me, it does not appear that the RS trim package equipped models can be safely flat towed.
If your vehicle specific owners manual does state that your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic can be flat towed,...

- It sounds like you are definitely on the right track. On a 2014 GMC Acadia The plug for the wiring harness # C56245 should be behind a trim panel behind the passenger side wheel. Sometimes locating these plugs can be tricky, and vehicle manufacturers do not make it easy. It is recommended to remove the rear passenger side tire to free up some space to work. You will need to remove a few screws from the wheel well trim panel to access the connector. Even if your vehicle does not have any...

- Great question.
This happens sometimes depending on what factory the vehicle was made in.
You are not far off from the plug. You need to go one panel closer to the front of the tracker.
You will need a screwdriver and a trim removal tool. You will find the connection point either zip-tied to another harness or just taped to the inner wall.
You can then plug in the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55372 and route it going back to the jack...

- The plug on the Kat's Heaters Vehicle Interior Heater # KH37100 is molded to the wiring so you wouldn't likely be able to get the plug back together once you were done. Instead you could cut the wires further back from the plug and trim back the casing and heat shrink butt connector # DW05744-10 the wires back together once you're through the fire wall. You will want to ensure that the wires are oriented in the same way when you reconnect them so I would mark one wire on both ends to ensure...

I sent you a separate link that will help you find a local installer.

- I have added a photo for you from the instructions showing the location where the base plate arms protrude on your 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman after installing the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1307.

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2009 Lexus RX 350
- It sounds like your 2009 Lexus RX 350 does not have the factory tow package. It may have the fuse in the fuse holder but the package was never installed.
If that is the case then I recommend a wire harness like part # 118478. This harness has a power module that combines the brake and signal functions. This harness plugs into the connections points behind the driver and passenger side trim panels. You then need to run the hot lead wire to the positive battery post.

view full answer... - Should SumoSprings Have Preload With Vehicle Unloaded
- According to the folks at SuperSprings, there should be a 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches of preload on an unloaded vehicle, so its likely that the suspension on your truck has worn to a small degree over the years.
SuperSprings tells me that if the unloaded ride is more firm than you'd like, it's perfectly acceptable to trim a half inch or so from the springs. Doing so will not cause any harm to the springs and you'll get a less firm ride when the vehicle is unloaded. This won't affect the loaded...
