Expert Answers about GMC Acadia


  • Where to Find Brake Controller Install Port on 2018 GMC Acadia
  • Your 2018 GMC Acadia actually has blunt cut wires for you to splice in a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. The last Acadia to use the Adapter # 3026-P that you referenced was the 2017 Limited which was the same as the 2016 model year. The 2017 New Body and newer have the blunt cut wires up under the dash. I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Acadia and on page 278 it says that the blunt cut wires can be found above the parking brake...

  • Recommended Towing Components for 2014 GMC Acadia
  • For your 2014 GMC Acadia, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75528 is a confirmed fit. This is a no drill installation that requires the fascia door panel to be removed for access. This panel will not be able to be reinstalled over the hitch so the hitch receiver will be visible and yet look similar to a factory hitch. I've attached an installation video for you. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2015 GMC Acadia with Old Crossbars
  • Thank you for the pictures! Looking at the crossbars, they don't match any of the crossbars we carry. Notice how both the top and bottom tracks are the same? Usually the bottom is designed according to the brand's "special" foot mount design for maximum sturdiness or aerodynamicness, etc while the top track is more universal to fit all types of t-track accessories. If you would rather get a whole new roof rack system, we have some options for your 2015 GMC Acadia with raised rails. A...

  • What Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Do You Recommend for Transporting 2 Kayaks and a Paddle Board?
  • I have a great solution for you. As far as the length of the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack, both the 50-inch version # MPG215 and the 58-inch version # MPG216 are recommended fits for you vehicle. With that being said, I recommend the 58-inch # MPG216 because you will ultimately have more room to mount accessories on your 2014 GMC Acadia. Unfortunately, if you plan on transporting 2 kayaks and a paddle board at the same time, we do not currently have any accessories that will allow you to...

  • Recommended Largest Roof Top Cargo Box and Crossbars for 2017 GMC Acadia For Rear Cargo Access
  • I reached out to the manufacturer and the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black AeroSkin # TH6358B is a confirmed fit for your vehicle with the Thule roof rack. This is the largest box they recommend that will allow that rear cargo access. For your crossbars I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 47" Long # TH711220 and the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. Then I recommend using the locks # TH450400 designed for this system to secure your rack....

  • Inexpensive Way To Carry Two Kayaks on a 2014 GMC Acadia
  • It sounds like you have raised side rails on your 2014 GMC Acadia and need a set of crossbars as well as a compatible kayak carrier. If that is the case then for a set of crossbars, there are few better options than the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 with price in mind. This system has tracks for use with channel mounted accessories as well as aero shaped bars for the least wind resistance. It also comes with locks. For a kayak carrier to haul two kayaks, you will want to use...

  • Recommended Tow Bar For The BX1675 Base Plate On A 2011 GMC Acadia
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Blue Ox Acclaim # BX4330 will not fit the # BX1675 base plate on a 2011 GMC Acadia. The Acclaim Tow Bar will only fit base plates with arms that are spaced 23" to 30" apart. The arms on the # BX1675 base plate are only 18" apart. So they will not be compatible. Instead, I recommend going with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This is a very solid non-binding tow bar which installs directly into a 2" hitch receiver....

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2014 GMC Acadia

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2017 GMC Acadia
  • I think I have forgotten more about hitches than Amazon will ever know! Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 76023 and Curt trailer hitch # C13293 will both fit your 2017 GMC Acadia. I have linked a video showing an example installation of the Draw-Tite hitch on a 2017 Acadia for you. The trailer wiring harnesses that are available all fit models that came with the factory tow package. If you take a look at the video, I have linked on # 118720 you will see where it plugs in on the vehicle. That vehicle...

  • Is There a Brake Controller Plug/Port On a 2019 GMC Acadia
  • I do have brake controller options for a 2019 GMC Acadia but there is not a plug under the dash like what you might be used to seeing. Therefore, a wireless brake controller for which I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 is the best option as it's the only one that would not require cutting and splicing.

  • Recommended 2 Bike Trunk Rack for 2009 GMC Acadia
  • It sounds like you're likely looking for a trunk mounted bike rack, so I recommend using the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH88VR which is a confirmed fit on your 2009 GMC Acadia. The Gateway uses anti-sway cradles that securely hold bikes at 3 points, so this rack does a great job at minimizing sway during travel. I also really like that this rack comes with a cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack and a locking cable to secure the rack to the vehicle,...

  • Brake Controller and 7-way Trailer Connector Recommendation for 2016 GMC Acadia
  • For a 2016 GMC Acadia that doesn't have the tow package, we do indeed offer an option that's pretty simple to install. I'd recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller, part # C51180. The brake controller would use your smart phone as the user interface, meaning nothing would need to bolted under the dash in the truck cab. To install the Echo, you'll need to install a functioning 7-way trailer wiring harness, part # 118271 which includes the fuses and relays necessary for activating...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller on a 2011 GMC Acadia without a Tow Package
  • You can hardwire the brake controller to your 2011 GMC Acadia. If you do not have one already you will need a 4-way at the rear of your vehicle. For a 4-way I would recommend you get a Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118451. I attached installation instructions and an installation video for this product for you to check out also. Now to convert your 4-way to a 7-way you will need a Brake Controller Installation Kit # ETBC7. This comes with everything to hardwire your brake...

  • I have two hitch receivers that are compatible with your 2022 GMC Acadia. The first hitch receiver is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # C13293. This is a Class III hitch receiver, meaning that it is a 2" hitch receiver. It has a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs.

  • Eaz-Lift Compatible Shank from Equal-i-Zer
  • If the 3/4 inch diameter holes space 1-1/4 inches apart on center from shank # EQ90-02-4900 match what your EAZ Lift weight distribution system requires then it is a great option Most major brands of weight distribution systems use the same hole spacing and diameter to mount the heads with few exceptions.

  • Inexpensive Way to Carry Two Kayaks on 2019 GMC Acadia
  • For this type of application with your 2019 GMC Acadia I highly recommend using a couple of the Malone Kayak Carrier # MPG154. These foam blocks can be placed right on top of your Acadia's bare roof to support both of your kayaks and all the needed tie-down straps are included. You can even use those factory raised side rails as anchor points for the straps. This gives you a completely safe setup to transport those kayaks on your trip but it doesn't require you to install expensive, permanent...

The Tekonsha harness listed above is a direct plug and play option that comes with all of the fuses and relays that you will need if your Acadia does not have them or did not come with the factory tow package.

  • Brake Controller and Install Wiring Recommendation for 2010 GMC Acadia with Tow Package
  • To easily install a brake controller in your 2010 GMC Acadia with factory brake controller wiring will only require you to use the proper install harness. For either controller you mentioned all you would need is the pat # 3026-P. Between the Primus IQ # TK90160 and the Voyager # 39510 the Primus would be the better controller as it has a more advanced accelerometer for detecting the amount of braking power needed.
