Expert Answers about GMC Safari


  • Recommended Gutter Mount Roof Rack System for 1992 GMC Safari Van
  • The Rhino-Rack # RL150S13-2 are a nice universal gutter mount roof rack system at a good price and I really like the durability of Rhino Rack products, which are backed by a lifetime limited warranty. This would be the system I recommend for your 1992 GMC Safari. If you've actually got raised side rails on this van, you may not be able to get these to mount depending on how close those rails are to the edge of the roof. If this is how your van is set up, you may want to consider looking...

  • Recommended Replacement Drivers Side Mirror for 2000 GMC Safari
  • I spoke with my contacts at K-Source, and they did not know of any customer complaints regarding vibration for the # KS62054G replacement mirrors. I recommend these Replacement Side Mirrors # KS62054G. I cannot guarantee that this mirror will not vibrate, but K-Source manufacturers many of the factory mirrors for vehicles today, and their replacement mirrors are good quality. This mirror will plug into your 2000 GMC Safari's existing wiring connectors and bolts to the existing mounting...

  • Recommended Derale Transmission Cooler for 1997 GMC Safari
  • Both the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13613 and # D13612 will work for your application but I recommend going with the slightly larger # D13613. The 8-7/8 inch height on this unit (compared to 6-3/8 inches on the # D13612) will provide more space for the fluid to travel and thus allow for more efficient cooling on your GMC Safari. The included radiator adapter will fit most vehicles with 5/16 inch transmission lines but it's possible that you may need to cut or...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a Rockwood Roo Trailer
  • If your Rockwood Roo has a frame width between 24 and 46 inches you would want the Draw-Tite Multi-Fit Hitch, part # 5350. This hitch has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity and a 5,000 lb total trailer weight capacity. Another hitch to consider is the Curt Hitch part # C13701 that will fit 18 to 51 inch frame widths and has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity and 6,000 lb total trailer weight capacity.

  • Charger Recommendation for Charging Battery of Dump Trailer
  • For a charger for your trailer's battery the best option we have is the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D which is designed for putting up to a 40 amp charge on a battery that is rated higher than 200 amp-hours. The fuse kit you'll need then is the # 331-FK60. I know it's not exactly inexpensive but charging a larger battery while towing requires a special charger setup. For a 7-way with junction box to make wiring up the lighting and braking of your trailer the #...

  • 2000 GMC Safari Van Brake Light Diodes
  • It sounds like you want to flat tow a 2000 GMC safari behind an RV, and you need a flat tow wiring kit to operate your tail lights on the Safari. I would recommend the Roadmaster # RM-152-98146-7 Universal wiring kit which includes everything you need to connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your towed car. Diodes prevent feedback and wire your car to operate as a combined system. Includes a 7-way to 6-way straight adapter cord. If you only want the tail light diodes,...

  • Front Floor Mat Recommendation for 1999 GMC Safari
  • I have attached a link to all of the floor mats that are available for the 1999 GMC Safari. My personal recommendation is for the WeatherTech All-Weather Front Floor Mats in Gray, # WTW51GR. WeatherTech offers a very durable product that is great at trapping debris and keeps it from getting on your vehicle's carpet. In my opinion, these are the best floor mats out there. So good that I have purchased the WeatherTech mats as gifts for family members.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2000 GMC Safari for Securing Ladders
  • For a roof rack for your 2000 GMC Safari we have the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - 58" Long # MPG216 that is designed to fit raised rails on the roof of your van. Then to secure the ladders to the roof rack you could use the Thule Load Strap Cinch Straps w/ Padded Cam Buckles # TH521.

  • Friction Bar Sway Control Recommendation for a 1998 GMC Safari Towing a Tent Trailer
  • Your concerns about sway are valid. Towing should be an easy, enjoyable experience, but will not be if your trailer is not in your control. The # 83660 Friction Sway control bar will give you the control you need. The installation is something the average person can do. It is mostly about drilling holes and inserting screws. Attached is a video of an installation with this product, and I have included a link below to the installation instructions. You'll also need a bracket, part # RP26003...

  • Brake Controller and Install Recommendation for a 2003 GMC Safari Van
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C55411. 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 installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. There isn't a plug and play option for your vehicle. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake...

  • Weight Distribution System for a 1998 GMC Safari Towing a Toy Hauler
  • You do not mention the tongue weight of your trailer, but assuming that it is around 10% of the trailer weight, or 550 pounds when loaded, I would recommend the Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution System, part # RP66540. If the tongue weight is approaching 600 pounds or 15%, the Reese High Performance System, part # RP66020 would be ideal.

  • Recommended 4-Pole Trailer Connector for 2000 GMC Safari Van
  • To install a 4-pole trailer connector on your 2000 GMC Safari, you'd use part # C55411. Installation would be pretty simple, as there is a wiring harness that ends in bare wires located in the jack storage compartment in the cargo area of your van. The harness is covered in wire loom, and the ends of the wires are likely wrapped in electrical tape. The wires would connect to the # C55411, color for color. For a more secure connection, I'd recommend using butt connectors like part # 05731-5...

  • What Class Hitch to Install on 1999 GMC Safari to Pull 4 x 7 Utility Trailer
  • Since there is a small cost difference between a 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III hitch, I suggest you go for the higher capacity Class III hitch from Curt, part # C13035. A 2-inch Class III hitch will give you higher capacity (for extra safety margin) plus it will offer broader compatibility with a range of hitch mount accessories. Note that you still need to observe the vehicle's tongue weight capacity, which may be lower than the hitch's. I have linked two helpful articles concerning...

  • Tent Recommendation for the Rear of a 2002 GMC Safari Van
  • The Rightline SUV Tent part # RL110907 that you referenced is universal enough in it's design that it would have no problem fitting a conversion van like your 2002 GMC Safari. The sleeve of the tent should have not problem fitting your doors.
