  • Can Roller Bunks Be Used On Pontoon Boat Trailer?
  • You can definetly use roller bunks to replace the standard wooden bunks on the trailer for your 16' pontoon boat, but you would not want to use 6" rollers mounted on 3 different brackets, as they will not be adequate for supporting the weight of your boat. With that said the easiest way to install roller bunks like the Boat Trailer Standard Roller Bunk - 4' Long- 10 Sets of 2 Rollers - by Dutton-Lainson # DL21754 you were looking at would be to keep the wooden bunks and mount the roller...

  • Would Hitch from 2010 Cadillac SRX Fit on 2018 Cadillac XT5
  • The two vehicles are different enough that a hitch that fits one of them would not fit the other. So for the 2018 Cadillac XT5 you'd need the etrailer part # e62AR that you referenced. I attached and install video for this hitch on a very similar 2017 XT5 as yours for you to check out as well. If you are in need of trailer wiring, you'd want the # 118720 as well. Install video attached for this too.

  • Can Dual Hitch Adapter be Used with Motorcycle Carrier and Tow Bar without Turning Interference
  • If you used the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 with your tow bar setup and motorcycle carrier it would take a really sharp turn to potentially cause interference since tow bars are pretty long. I don't think you'd have an issue at all but the first few tight turns you make you might have a spotter make sure the clearance is okay.

  • Swing Away Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2013 Cadillac SRX For Lift Gate Access
  • If you have a Class III hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75682 on your 2013 Cadillac SRX I think your best option would be to get a Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier # 59109, I can guarantee this carrier would give you enough clearance to open the lift gate of your vehicle. Check out the review video I attached for this product also. We have not had the chance to install a Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier # TH665C on an SRX like...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2023 Cadillac XT5
  • For your 2023 Cadillac XT5 we have the etrailer hitch part # e62AR as a confirmed fit that would work great to carry your bike rack like our very easy to use Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z. It's a 2-inch hitch (the most popular size) that has great weight capacities and is mostly hidden since it sits behind the rear bumper fascia panel. It also has an attractive matte black finish on the portion that does shoe. It also installs very easy as well.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 7,800 Pound Tritoon Boat Trailer
  • It sounds like you have things pretty well figured out. The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems # RP58393 is the perfect solution for adding weight distribution to a pole-tongue trailer like yours. It won't matter if you mount it on top or below the trailer tongue, it can handle your 7,800 lb trailer.

  • Recommended TPMS for 2014 Cadillac SRX Towed Behind Newmar King Aire
  • The TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-FT-4 would certainly do a good job monitoring the tires on your 2014 Cadillax SRX. This system comes with a grayscale monitor, updates every 12 seconds, and has a 3-year warranty. However, I prefer the TireMinder A1AS TPMS for RVs and Trailers w Signal Booster # TM76FR. This system has a faster refresh rate updating every 6 seconds, an LCD color monitor, and a 3-year warranty like the TST. It also gives you the option to monitor on your smartphone via Bluetooth.

  • Weather Proof Cargo Bag Recommendation for 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier M2205-2201
  • The recommended cargo bag for the Carpod Carrier part # M2205-2201 that you referenced is the Carpod Bag part # M2202. This bag is specifically designed to fit the inner dimensions of the # M2205-2201 so it would be the best choice. This bag is weather resistant so it would do an excellent job in the snow and ice you will be traveling in. For added security from the weather you can also put your cargo in a plastic bag before installing in the cargo bag. But realistically your cargo wouldn't...

  • Why Does Curt Hitch for 2016 Cadillac SRX Have Higher Capacity than Vehicle
  • A lot of times our hitch manufacturers rate their hitches for higher towing capacities than what the vehicles they fit have. This is just a way to make sure the hitch never fails. You always have to go by the lowest rated component in a setup for the overall capacity as you are only as strong as your weakest link. The American made Curt hitch part # C13002 that you referenced would be a great choice though. I attached an install video for more info for you to check out as well. Since...

  • Hitch and E-Bike Rack Solution for 2017 Cadillac XT5
  • For your 2017 Cadillac XT5 you'd need a hitch installed first like the Curt # C13285 so that you could carry an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the weight capacity needed but what I also really like about this rack is that it has a ramp that pulls out to make loading the heavier e-bikes a bit easier.

  • How to Pick Out Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount for Cadillac SRX When Towing
  • That depends on the coupler height of your trailer when sitting level. You'd need to measure from the bottom lip of your coupler down to the ground when the trailer is level. Whatever the difference is between that number and the height from the ground to the top of hitch opening on your vehicle is the amount of rise/drop that you need. I attached a help article that covers this as well down below.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2015 Cadillac SRX
  • When towing a relatively high amount for the capacity of a vehicle it's a great idea to have an aftermarket transmission cooler. For a 3,500 lb trailer towed by your 2015 Cadillac SRX with a hitch like the part # C13002 I would recommend going with a cooler like the part # D13502 which will fit and work well. This measures 11" Wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep which would easily fit in front of your radiator.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2018 Cadillac XT5 To Use Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier
  • In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist part # TH898 on a 2018 Cadillac XT5 I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA118B-2, part # RRRCL4, part # RR32SV. This is an aero bar system that will provide you with the required overhang you need for the Hullavator. I also like Rhino-Rack a lot as they are much more affordable than some of the other top tier options but you don't miss any features, they in fact come with locks whereas these...

  • K-Source Towing Mirrors for a 2018 Cadillac Escalade
  • We do have a universal fit towing mirror from K-Source. It's part # KS3891. I've seen some feedback that these have worked for the 2018 Cadillac Escalade and they fit perfectly. They're designed to work with factory side mirrors that are between 4-1/2"-11-1/2" tall and have a lip alongside the mirror face. I've linked to a video review of this mirror for you to look at.

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2010 Cadillac CTS
  • The trunk-mount racks I can recommend for your husband's 2010 Cadillac CTS will depend on which vehicle version we're considering. If it is the 2-door coupe, then our only choice is the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount. This is a Vacuum Cup mounted carrier that works amazingly but is quite pricey. Part # 298-BK1910-AB. This one is blue, but it comes in 3 other colors. If the CTS is a 4-door sedan then the Thule OutWay # TH45JV that you referenced is the best choice....
