  • Can The etrailer Hitch Pin Alignment Collar Be Used With Anti-Rattle Locking Devices
  • No, The etrailer Hitch Pin Alignment Collar # e98942 will does not work as an anti-rattle device. The Let's Go Aero # 63232 will work with The etrailer Hitch Pin Alignment Collar # e98942 (only for alligning the carrier) as long as your hitch mounted cargo tray has a hollow shank. The Aero anti rattle device pulls the shank against the inside wall of the hitch receiver using a spring block and tightened down bolt. This will not interfere at all with the etrailer collar.

  • Duncan EazAligner 2000 Compatible Base Plate To Flat Tow 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • Roadmaster does have a base plate that will work, part # RM-521453-4. You'll also need the # RM-038 Duncan tow bar to Roadmaster Base Plate adapter. The reason we don't list the coupler style tow bars as being compatible is that the EZ4 type base plate drawbars need to be twisted 90° to remove, which isn't easy when the adapter is bolted on. In other words, according to Roadmaster, it WILL work, it just won't be super-easy to remove the base plate draw bars as you'll need to unbolt the...

  • Recommended Solution to Lift Tandem Axle 5th Wheel That Is Nose High
  • I can't really say that it's "better" to go with one over the other when it comes to using the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit - Single Axle # LC87120 over a Dexter Over/Under Conversion # K71-384-00 as they both will do the same basic job in different manners. However, Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit - Single Axle # LC87120 is what I recommend because it also works to keep your axles aligned properly to help ensure even tire wear and proper tracking behind the...

  • Recommended Hitch and Bike Rack for 2003 Subaru Forester
  • For your 2003 Subaru Forester I recommend using the Curt # C12038, which is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver; this Curt hitch will have a bit more durable powder coating than the others, so it's going to stand up to wear and tear a little better. There are only hitches with 1-1/4" receiver available for your Forester, so you will need a bike rack that has a 1-1/4" shank. For the bike rack I recommend using the Thule Doubletrack Pro Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches...

  • Will The Curt Hitch Require Air Dam Removal On A 2013 Toyota Corolla S
  • When installing The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4 inch # C11265 you will not have to remove the rear air dam it only has three installation steps. If present, remove existing bolts from tow loops. Then you would raise the hitch into position and align the holes in the side plates, secure the hitch with the hardware provided. Finally you torque down all hardware. I will attach an installation video below.

  • All Parts Needed to Tow With 2005 Toyota Camry
  • Sure, you can put a trailer hitch and tow with a 2005 Toyota Camry.

  • Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2001 Chevy Tracker Manual Transmission 2WD
  • According to my research, the 2001 Chevy Tracker RWD w/ manual transmission is capable of being flat towed without modification, however it's not recommended to tow the vehicle above 55 mph. Your motorhome would need a hitch and a trailer connector at the rear. For the vehicle, you'll need a tow bar, base plates, wiring so the vehicle taillights work along with those on the motorhome and a supplemental braking system. The Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar, part # BX7380 is an excellent choice for...

  • Equipment Necessary to Flat Tow 2008 Toyota Yaris Hatchback 5 Speed
  • According to the owner's manual, a manual transmission equipped 2008 Toyota Yaris can indeed be flat towed behind a motorhome. To flat tow the vehicle, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low hitch adapter. For base plates, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # 521181-1 and # RM-643 for safety cables. For a tow bar, we really like the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, part # RM-522. This particular tow bar features...

  • Which Camera Can Be Used with a Furrion Observation System to Align Gooseneck Trailer
  • The only cameras compatible with the Furrion # FOS05TASF would be the Furrion # FCN48TASF, which would need to be tapped into the reverse light circuit during installation to work in the manner you're seeking. We haven't tested this being installed on a passenger vehicle, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work since all it requires is a power source.
