- Availability Of Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2011 Chevrolet Express Van 3500
- I do have a possible option for you, but at this time there is not a custom fit front mount trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2011 Chevrolet Express Van 3500.
Instead the only option would be to have a local fabrication shop install a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite # 41990-07 with 7" mounting brackets or the # 41990-16 with 16" mounting brackets to the frame of your van. Both of these options fit vehicles with frames up to 44" wide so you will need to verify your frame does...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2017 Chevy Express with Tow Button
- The towing button you have on your 2017 Chevy Express Van is for changing shift points but does not really affect the choice in trailer wiring or hitch. For a hitch the Draw Tite part # DT45507 is a Class IV that would work really well.
If you are without trailer wiring the Tekonsha part # 118392 is a really great and easy to install option as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack Option for Carrying Surfboards with 2011 Chevy Express
- Although the Thule system you referenced would work well, in my opinion the clamp system used by the Rhino Rack Roof Rack is a bit more substantial, and would get a better grip on the rain rain gutter.
You can install a Rhino Rack Roof Rack by using the following parts:
Heavy Duty Crossbars, part # RB1650B-2 for Black or # RB1650 for Silver
Gutter Mount Legs, part # RRRL150GMC
Rhino Rack also offers a padded board carrier, part # RRRWP03.

- Transmission coolers make a huge difference in the longevity of a vehicle transmission. Basically the biggest one you can fit will give you the best performance. For your 2019 Chevy Express Van I recommend the Derale cooler part # D13504 which measures 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep and is a very efficient style of cooler. This is a plate-fin style which does a much better job than a tube fin style.
I attached an install video that shows this cooler installed on a similar GM SUV as well...

- The correct Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System for a Grand Design Imagine XLS 22MLE is part # EQ37100ET. This system is rated for 600-1,000 lbs. It might be on the high end of your setup but that's totally fine and what the mfg recommend. It allows you to add more weight if needed as well.

This is a great plate-fin cooler that will prolong the life of your transmission and improve its overall performance.

- While there aren't any front mount hitches for a 2010 Chevrolet Express Van, there are plenty of options for attaching a hitch to the rear of your Van.
I recommend the etrailer Class IV, part # e98861. It has a 2" receiver with 1000 pounds of tongue weight and 10,000 pounds of towing weight capacity. I've linked to a video installation of this hitch.
As for your spare tire carrier, I recommend the Curt Hitch Mounted Carrier, part # c31006. It fits a 2" receiver, so it will work with the...
view full answer... - Brake Controller and Trailer Connector Recommendation for 2009 Chevy Express
- Since your 2009 Express (which was built across the street from our facility) doesn't have a factory 7-way, there isn't a plug and play trailer connector option. That's not the end of the world though, because the installation is pretty simple, and we can help you through it.
First, you'll need a 4 pole trailer connector to get the lighting circuits. I'd recommend part # 118392. You'd then choose a brake controller. I'd highly recommend a proportional controller like the Tekonsha Primus,...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring and Hitch for 2019 Chevy Express Van without Tow Package
- If your 2019 Chevy Express Van does not have any trailer wiring or a hitch there's a strong chance you don't have it but you can verify this by checking the VIN with a Chevy dealer.
So for trailer wiring you'd want to start with the 4-way part # 118392 which is custom fit for your vehicle.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached...
view full answer... - Recommended Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2006 Chevrolet Express Cutaway
- For a heavy duty hitch for your 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 Cutaway I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41991-07. The problem with using a hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861 is that it is designed for the cargo and passenger van, not the cutaway, so it has a small hitch drop in order to clear the factory bumper.
The # 41991-07 has a weld on installation and will fit vehicles with frames up to 62" with...

- For your 2012 Chevrolet Express 3500 you've picked the perfect parts the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 and the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 are exactly what I would pick. This will take care of the brake signal and the 12 volt power to the trailer.
For your mirrors I also think that the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors part # KS3990 is a solid choice. While generally I would opt for a custom fit set with the...
view full answer... - Will the Hopkins Backup Alert # HM20100VA work in a 1141 Bulb Socket
- Yes, the Hopkins Backup Alert # HM20100VA that you referenced will work in a 1141 bulb socket.
1141 and 1156 bulbs are very similar with the only difference being that the 1156 operates at a lower resistance so it will burn brighter and hotter than a 1141.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install Hitch, Brake Controller, 7 Way and 4 Way on a 2002 Chevrolet Express Van
- First we will start off with the hitch. I recommend going with the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch, # 13040, for your 2002 Chevrolet Express Van. This hitch receiver bolts directly to the frame of the van with no welding or drilling required.
For a t-connector we have the T-One Wiring Harness, # 118377, that plugs directly into your existing taillight wiring without any cutting or splicing.
In order to obtain a 7 way at the back of the van, you will need to install a Universal Installation...
view full answer... - Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Connector Recommendation/Installation on 2006 Chevy Express Van
- An adapter like the # 37185 would provide both a 4-pole and a 7-way trailer connector, and would be perfect for your needs. The adapter would plug into your existing 4-pole, and would have 4 additional bare wire to contend with. The white wire is grounded to the vehicle frame or chassis, the purple wire carries the reverse lamp circuit (which isn't usually necessary, so it's usually just bundled up out of the way) and the other two wires are for 12-volt accessory power (black wire) and...
view full answer... - Snow Chain Recommendations for a 2008 Roadtrek Motorhome Built on a 3500 Chevy Express Van Chassis
- You could use either cable style chains like the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW1046, that you referenced or you could use standard link style chains on your 2008 Roadtrek Motorhome that is built on a 3500 Chevy Express Van chassis.
Both of these chain styles will give you increased traction in adverse winter weather. However, standard chain style will give you more traction than the cable style, especially in icy conditions.
If you wanted to go with the standard style chains...

- The hitch you would want for your 2014 Chevy Express 3500 Van is the Draw Tite part # 41946 which is a confirmed fit and has a 10,000 lb total trailer weight capacity. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that the hitch opening is flush with the rear bumper which is about as far out as you would want it to be. Your shins will thank you for not trying to use a longer one.
