  • Will the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag # TH869 Work with Raised Rails on a 2009 GMC Acadia
  • Cross bars are recommended when installing Thule Interstate Expandable Roof Rack Cargo Bag, item # TH869. The cross bars keep the bag from sliding forward and back on the vehicle roof during acceleration and braking and protect the vehicle roof from damage by keeping the bag stationary when installed. Make sure to clean the roof before installing the bag to keep dirt, between the bag and roof, to a minimum so the roof does not get scratched. Cross bars for your 2009 GMC Acadia consist...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2020 GMC Acadia

  • Parts Needed to Provide Power Inside Vehicle During Flat Towing 2017 GMC Acadia
  • It sounds like you're looking for a way to power something in your dinghy vehicle, like a supplemental braking system. A system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR requires that you install the Roadmaster 12V Outlet Kit # RM-9332, which connects directly to your battery to supply 12v power inside the vehicle when it is turned off- not with the key in the ACC position. There are some additional parts you would need to avoid draining your 2017 GMC Acadia's battery while it's being flat towed-...

  • Is Brake-Lite Relay for 2017 GMC Acadia Needed To Flat Tow?
  • Since your brake lights illuminate when the vehicle is off, as long as that doesn't stop after a specific amount of time, you will not need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751483. This kit is designed to make sure there is a constant power to the brake light switch so you get an accurate read in your motorhome of when the brakes of your towed vehicle are being applied. Since you have stated that you have brake lights when the vehicle is off, you already have a stop light...

  • Wiring Harness To Install Hopkins Trailer Brake Controller on a 2012 GMC Acadia
  • For a 2012 GMC Acadia that came with a factory 7-Way trailer connector, you will need harness # HM47875 to install the Hopkins Agility brake controller # HM47294. I have linked a video showing an installation on a different vehicle that uses the same harness. The factory connection point is located under the dashboard to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency-brake pedal.

  • Which Wiring Harness Do I Need To Install Brake Controller on 2009 GMC Acadia
  • If your 2009 GMC Acadia has a factory 7-way connector at the rear of the vehicle, you will need to use the Tekonsha Wire Replacement, part # 3026-P. This connector works with Tekonsha brake controllers, like the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. If your 2009 Acadia does not have a factory 7-way, you would not use the # 3026-P Teknonsha Wire. Instead, you would need to use the Brake Controller 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 GMC Acadia
  • A complete flat towing system consists of base plates, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking system and often times a high/low adapter to allow you to keep the tow bar level during towing. Starting with the base plate, I recommend using the Roadmaster # RM-523189-4 which has removable arms that can be removed when you're not towing; a compatible tow bar with these base plates is the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 which will install directly into the 2"...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2013 GMC Acadia
  • To add a trailer hitch to your 2013 GMC Acadia I recommend using the etrailer # e98863 which will give you a nice 2" hitch that's perfect for towing. You could use the Draw-Tite # 75528, but we've found that our powder coating is a bit thicker than the Draw-Tite, which helps protect the hitch from rust and chips in the paint; this means a longer lasting hitch over time. For the wiring you can go two directions depending on whether or not you will be towing a trailer with brakes. If you're...

The installation of the 5-Way will be similar so the video will be beneficial...

  • Parts Needed to Adapt Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack to 2014 GMC Acadia with Raised Side Rails
  • The Yakima round bar roof rack confirmed to fit the raised roof side rails of your 2014 GMC Acadia is made of parts # Y00408, # Y03536 and # Y00147. The Acadia requires the Timberline Towers, part # Y33TR, since there is no way to adapt the RailGrab setup to this vehicle. Since you already have round Yakima crossbars you can simply order the other two parts above, items # Y03536 and # Y33TR, to let you continue to use those 48-inch or longer round Yakima crossbars.

  • Thanks for all of the information! Based on your weight requirements you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37100ET for your set up depending on how you load your trailer.

  • Correct Relay For Trailer Backup Circuit On 2016 Acadia
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118271 comes with 2 relays which are typically the only relays required for trailer lights. But in your case, you will need that 3rd relay for the trailer back up circuit. You can use Relay - 4 Terminal 12 Volt # TR38665 for your trailer back up circuit. I attached a video for reference, however, you will want to look at your fuse box diagram to verify the correct slot for this relay.

  • Everything Needed to Flat Tow A 2014 GMC Acadia Behind RV
  • I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2014 GMC Acadia. It states if the vehicle is either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, it can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. I just recommend verifying this information in your copy of the owner's manual, as it's possible that you have a slightly different model Acadia. The owner's manual will also detail the correct procedures and steps to take before heading out on your trip. In order to flat tow your 2014 GMC Acadia...
