  • Recommended Tire To For 900lb Trailer With 4.80-8 Tires
  • Absolutely! To replace the 4.80-8 tires on your trailer I recommend going with the Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range C # AM10004 which have a load rating of 745lbs per tire at 90 PSI so you will have no issues with your trailer that weighs in at 900lbs, and is perfect for use on the freeway. I included a video of the # AM10004 for you to take a look at.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for 2018 Cadillac Escalade
  • The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80920 are custom-fit items intended for certain specific vehicles. The 2018 Cadillac Escalade is not among the compatible vehicles but we can still help you with a set of universal-fit towing mirrors. The K-Source universal towing mirror kit # KS3990 is a set of two mirrors that install without tools on any mirror that has a gap between the housing and the actual glass mirror surface. The mirrors attach using clips that fit into that gap...

  • Troubleshooting Brake Controller of 2010 Chevy Tahoe that Only Works with Manual Override
  • Check the third brake light fuse of your 2010 Chevy Tahoe. The GM third brake light fuse is very easy to blow we've found and when it goes it takes out the ability for brake controllers to work with the brake pedal. Easy way to check is to have someone watch and see if the third brake light comes on when you hit the brakes.

  • How to Carry An Ascend DC156 Canoe on a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • In order to carry your Ascend DC156 Canoe on a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe I recommend using the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # TH819. The Thule Portage simply wraps around the crossbars and then holds the canoe in place by applying pressure to both sides. It also comes with bow/stern tie-down straps to further secure the canoe to your vehicle. I recommend that you spread the crossbars out as much as possible to dissipate the load evenly. In order to help with getting the canoe...

  • Selecting Transmission Cooler for 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L V8 Towing 4000-lb Trailer
  • Most transmission and oil coolers are not vehicle-specific (apart from the few pan types that are vehicle-specific) and so you can install as large a cooler as you have space for it. You cannot over cool transmission fluid so the largest most-efficient one that will fit is the way to go. The two linked articles will give you plenty of background on the types offered and installation guidance as well. I suggest the efficient Class IV Derale # D13504 that you referenced. Along with this...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Chevy Tahoe
  • Yes, we offer several trunk mounted bike racks confirmed to fit your 2003 Chevy Tahoe. Check out the link I attached to see them all. The Hollywood Rack part # HRE3 that you referenced is not on that list, but for a similar rack you would want the Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack part # TH910XT. This rack has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. Check out the review video I attached for more info. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you...

  • Upgrading Factory Crossbars On 2019 Chevy Tahoe To Accommodate The Thule Hullavator TH898
  • Since your 2019 Chevy Tahoe has factory side rails that the crossbars are connected to, you are able to install longer crossbars to gain the necessary 4" overhang on each side so that the Thule Hullavator # TH898 can be installed. I think your best option is to go with Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Silver - 59" # RRVA150S-2 (or black # RRVA150B-2) along with the necessary Legs # RRRCH4 and Fit Kit # RRRCP43-BK. This will be long enough to accommodate the Hullavator and other accessories....

  • 2-Bike Rack for Pedeco Interceptor Electric Bike And Beach Cruiser for 2007 Chevy Tahoe
  • Due to the heavy weight of the E bike and the fact that a beach cruiser is not particularly lightweight, most of the 2 bike racks we offer will not have sufficient weight capacity. Due to the weight involved, I would recommend a platform-type rack. These racks hold the bike by the wheels with a ratcheting hook that secures the top frame tube. These racks are usually easier to load, which is an important feature with heavier bikes. My recommendation would be the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider...

  • Weight Distribution System for a 2010 Chevy Tahoe With 7100lb Travel Trailer.
  • To make sure you get the correct weight distribution system for your needs you will need to make sure that you know your tongue weight, This includes the loaded trailer tongue weight and any added cargo weight behind the rear axle of your 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe. The Curt MV Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control # C17062 is a great option as long as your total tongue weight is at least 800lbs, but I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1000...

  • Installing Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning to Roof Rack with Rola Vortex Basket
  • I may have a solution for you, however you won't be able to use the Mounting Kit # RR31103 to attach your Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning like # RR33100 to the Thule Canyon Roof Rack # TH859XT on your vehicle. The rail design on the side of this basket simply isn't compatible with the hardware used in this kit. Your best option is going to be to slide the Thule basket to one end of your roof and attach the Batwing directly to the crossbars at the other end. As long as your roof rack bars feature...

  • Blue OX Kargard Rock Guard for Towed Vehicles
  • The Blue Ox # BX8870 Kargard is designed to protect all vehicles from most road debris that can be kicked up behind a towing vehicle. I have attached a video that I think you will find very helpful. The guard measures 72" wide x 24-1/4" tall and works with most tow bar systems. When not in use it folds up for easy storage.

  • Choosing a Ball Mount with the Right Drop to Tow a Trailer Level with a 2004 Chevy Tahoe
  • Since you had them measure to the top of the coupler and not the bottom, the trailer will actually be a little lower than the vehicle by however tall the coupler is from the point they measured it. Those rental trailers are usually fairly low too. But since nothing is certain the best option is an adjustable ball mount such as # MT70068 rated for 5,000 pounds. This ball mount has a maximum rise of 6-1/4 inches, minimum of 1-3/4 inches, and maximum drop of 7-1/2 inches, minimum of 3 inches....

  • How to Determine the Best Weight Distribution With Sway Control for Trailer
  • Since you are having difficulty with sway I strongly recommend a weight distribution system with sway control. In order to choose the best weight distribution system for your trailer with three quads on it, you will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's GVWR but you'll...

  • Sway Control Recommendation for Enclosed Tandem Trailer that Does Not Require Welding
  • The Reese Sway Control Kit part # 83660 can be bolted to the frame of your enclosed trailer. And if you use the ball mount bracket part # RP26003 you wouldn't have to have a tab welded to your ball mount either.

  • Tire Chain Recommendations for a 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • For your 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe with 265/65R18 tires, we have two great options for chains. The first is the Pewag All Square Mud Service Snow Chains, part # PWE2439S. The chains are for on-road and off-road use to get you through a variety of terrains including mud, snow, and ice.

  • Timbren Recommendation for Front and Rear Suspension of 2004 Chevy Tahoe
  • If you installed Timbrens all around on your 2004 Chevy Tahoe you would get somewhat improved performance in the areas you mentioned. The front Timbrens are part # TUF100 and the rear would be part # TUR100. Normally front end dive in corners is seen when aggressively hitting corners. If you have new shocks and are still seeing this you might make sure your springs are also in good shape.

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Chevy Tahoe and 2016 Coachman Apex 269RBSS
  • For an air bag kit that fits your 2019 Chevy Tahoe the Firestone Coil Rite kit part # F4147 is your best option as it has the highest quality bag available and would give you ability to add exactly as much suspension support as you'd need by adjusting the air pressure in the bags. The bags of this kit basically just slip between the coils of the spring for installation. The jounce spring solutions are great too like with the Timbren part # TGMRYS4 but the support they provide isn't adjustable...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for Flat Towing 2011 Chevy Tahoe
  • Since you have a Blue Ox tow bar already the base plate kit you'd want is the Blue Ox part # BX1676 which fits your 2011 Chevy Tahoe. Most likely you are missing the breakaway kit of your Break Buddy so for that you'd want the part # HM39340. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This...
