Best 2017 GMC Acadia Tow Bars

Overall very happy with this product. It fits snug in my receiver without alot of play. It did come with a cross bar, which surprised me since none of the pictures showed it. Initially i was concerned this wouldn't work with work with direct connect base plate, the directions weren't real clear. After a bunch of research it will indeed work with the direct connect base plate. I've yet to tow since I am still installing the base plate. Will update at a later date

This tow bar is a beast! I'm replacing my existing one (same model) after over 20,000 miles of pulling a Jeep Cherokee behind a class A motorhome. It has taken a beating on a trip to Alaska and back to Texas, including an incident where the wind blew me off the road and put the Jeep on 2 wheels. A frost heave that bent the RV Tow receiver but not the tow bar. As well as a car driving into the back of the Jeep while I was towing at 65 mph. Can't say enough about the quality and durability of this product!

Arrived quickly and well packaged. Took less than an hour to install on the RV with the included safety cables and wiring.I haven't pulled our Bronco with it yet but the tow bar appears to be well built and a quality product.

First, received the package and upon opening, found that the linch pins were missing. One phone call and issue was resolved and replacement items were being expedited to me. Appears the box came open on one end during shipment and parts came out before carrier retaped the tear. Good on E-Trailer for outstanding and prompt customer service! Now, the Sterling All Terrain towbar - very impressive unit as I had bought this on reputation only as no dealers had any in stock (they say it is too costly to carry in store). Very well made, excellent finish and welds. Instructions are quite clear and easy to follow. I like that when you purchase this unit, it is a “total package”. There is nothing I could see that is cheaply made - all quality. This was my first purchase from E-trailer, and based on how this order went start to finish, and having to deal with missing parts on an order - I am very pleased and will deal with them in the future.

So easy a caveman can do it. Great material quality, etrailer was fast on shipping, and hd support ready if needed. I consider myself an intermediate mechanic sk I had no problems doing this by myself. Instructions were good, I modified to make some install details easier and emergency link better.

It was a bit hard to get help with the installation, but after I got it in it's been great. Took a trip from Wisconsin to Washington DC and back and it all went smoothly.

The product works great. I love all the light features on it. Easy install and easy of use. Using the product with my RV and Jeep Gladiator.

The Nighthawk tow bar is very nice and easy to hook up. However, the electrial connection from "Towed" to Coach exits the left side of the tow bar and crosses under the receiver to connect to the Coach socket which is on the right side of the receiver. This causes the electrical cable to get tangled with the safety cables. It seems as though there should be separate parts for coaches with right or left connectors. I moved my Coach connector to the left side of the receiver to eliminate the tangle of the electrical cable with the safety cables. The tow bar is easy to connect and disconnect and store. Mine connects to the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier receiver which works well. I did have one incident where the electrical cord was somehow severed which meant that I had no operating supplemental brakes and no "Towed" lights. I did not know when it happened or how it happened. There should be some alarm when a disconnect occurs. I found the problem only because I stopped for a break and inspected everything. Since my "Towed" is very light and I did no hard braking, I did not notice the loss of supplemental brakes.

Always great doing business with etrailer. You get exactly what you ordered and shipped to you fast. The blue ox tow bar was exactly as described. Works like a champ pulling my Acadia.

Looks like a quality tow bar. However, I'm pretty disappointed because the ratings on it were very favorable. I just used it for the first time and it's EXTREMELY tight and difficult to get into or out of the storage position. I'm going to contact etrailer to see if there's something I can do or if it will loosen up over time. I don't want to start loosening bolts. If it stays this tight, my rating would go down to a 1.

We've been towing our Jeep Grand Cherokee for about 8 months now with this tow bar and it's worked flawlessly! We've been places where the coach and Jeep are not perfectly aligned putting the attaching pins in a bind, but with a simple release of the handle it would release the arm and unbind the pin. Super easy to use. I highly recommend the Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding tow bar. OH! The LED lights along the arm make it look great too!!

Very nice tow bar. I like the way it stores on the back of my motor home.

This is one of the best, two items I purchased of about 6 or 7 items acquired to rig my 2001 GMC YukonXL for flat towing. The 10,000 lb capacity is valued. the tow bar slides work well. the 3/4inch pins are strong and I have had no problems. The tow bar pulls a YukonXL with some extra stuff, fuel and tools and weighs probably 6,500 lbs (my est--haven't put it on a CAT scale). When I rig my 2020 Chev Silverado Trail Boss to flat tow, I expect to be able to use this.

The Blackhawk 2 All-Terrain tow my 2017 F250 Powerstroke with RZR loaded on the truck and performed well. We have traveled across the US towing a 2020 Escape Hybrid and again the bar excelled.

Towed a 4 door Rubicon with Dodge 2500 truck. The tow bar did great on the 2000+ mile trip. The bar is very easy to couple and uncouple.

The Blue Ox is perfect for my needs. I use it to tow my 2004 Tacoma, with after market Warn locking hubs, behind my truck camper. The tow bar is easy to hook up and remove and tows like a dream. I would recommend for this purpose highly.

The product quality is excellent and very easy to use. We've had no issues with the installation or towing our F150 behind our motorhome. Easy to remove or attach with just one person.

If you are thinking of towing a car this is the company to see. Just installed a base plate and tow bar to my Toyota. Took just 2 hours. With the video and instructions, no problems, very easy. Customer support excellent, very helpful. If you don’t think that you can do this install yourself, think again. I would recommend this tow bar, with the telescoping arms connecting to the car is very simple and secure. This is a 5 star product. Thank You

Really well built. Great service from etrailer.

On the road in our RV when I discovered our 3yr 7mo Blue Ox Tow Bar had a failure that I was not going to be able to use again. I call Willian S at etrailer about getting a new Blue Ox Tow Bar and having it shipped to a nearby UPS store. William checked to ensure it would be delivered before our scheduled departure. Not only did he assure me it would meet the timeline but he checked it after shipping to make sure it got here. Also he checked about a “like new” tow bar which saved me ~$500. Thanks for keeping me on the road without delay!

I decided to use an antique Blue Ox tow bar to pull my Mini Cooper behind our RV on a trip to Panama City beach last year. Big Mistake! If it looks questionable, don't use it. When we arrived I was extremely thankful that the Mini was still with us. The old Blue Ox bar was coming apart. I looked locally for a replacement and found one at Camping World and was shocked at the price. eTrailer had the exact same unit for hundreds and hundreds less. And they shipped it quickly right to the camp ground. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar is very easy to us and mated right up to the Blue Ox kit on the Mini. Thanks eTrailer! We will definitely buy from you again!

Fits perfectly. Speedy and easy ordering!

I ordered this tow bar and D ring adapters specifically for my Bronco and it’s way to sloppy and I can’t use this to tow my Bronco

Make towing easier for a person like me to tow I would recommend it very good product

etrailer has been just what I need it as a first time tower of a Rv tow car there experience and courtesy of helping someone with no experience has been a huge relief with something so important there help was invaluable all the way through Thank you so much

Very easy to use and handled as well as I expected.

Fantastic customer service and delivery of my tow package in time for Christmas to me !!!

I have purchased other items from etrailer and as usual the delivery is easy to follow and produce as advertised.

Was on the road when my 25 year old tow bar finally gave out. One call to Sheila at etrailer and I had my replacement on the way to fit my same base plates. And I got it the very next day in Ouray, Colorado where regular mail is always late. Etrailer has been consistently spot on every time I have needed anything for RVing and customer service is superb!

This tow bar is incredibly easy to use and our Grand Cherokee tracks very well even up to 70+ MPH. We are towing with our new Dynamax and are looking forward to our first long drive to Texas in December. Would highly recommend to anyone!!

Nice, solid product. Easy to install and remove. Sliding action is very smooth, easy to extend and fold. My hitch coupler is slightly different design than shown but seems very heavy duty.

Absolutely fabulous

Product shipped without one of the locking pins which caused me to question the overall quality of the product. I contacted etrailer regarding the missing locking pin and explained that the product was worthless without it and was assured that it would be sent immediately. It was sent out the same day with USPS with a one-week expected delivery! Keep in mind the original order (which was very heavy) was here in a couple of days. Given the major inconvenience, etrailer couldn't spring for some expedited shipping! Sad!

We have used this tow hitch / bar for over 12 months now. We have travelled from the west coast to the east coast, to Canada and Mexico, 10's of thousands of Miles. So much that the connectors to the base plate are starting to wear with all of the turns. The tow bar is still in very good condition. We only have 1 issue which is it can get a bit tight if the car is on an angle, either up or down, left to right. But this was a known issue prior to purchase and its very minor. I would buy again! Great product for the cost.

Demco has made MANY improvements over the original Excalibar I purchased 18 years ago. Some of the changes have been with the safety cables being better organized; the main 'towing' bolt being perpendicular to the towing pull tension; being able to adjust the assembly to accommodate a more level alignment between the powered and towed vehicles by 'flipping' or turning over the yoke. Also, it is much easier to store the assembly with the newer pin and plate arrangement, instead of the previous pin system which required getting on the ground and attempting to pin the shaft to secure the tow arms. In addition, the tow arms now have the ability to hold themselves up while you are in the process of disconnecting the tow bar from the powered vehicle. I have not towed my truck behind my motorhome as of yet, so I can't say how it will disengage and be non-binding on the arms for storage. One of the issues I had with the old Excalibar was being somewhat difficult to release and disengage after a trip. Hopefully, that issue has been resolved.

The Demco Excali-bar 3 is proving to be a great purchase. Having owned a previous model Demco, I am very pleased with the current model Excali-bar's new improvements!

Our Geo Tracker towed perfectly, even through very rough road construction in the Los Angeles area. I hardly noticed the car behind my van. At highway speeds and passing semis the car never swayed or had any problems. I would recommend this towing your car. We have over 3 thousand miles on it so far.

I purchased both the parts of the tow system. I just purchase a Jeep Grand Cherokee (99) to pull behind our motorhome for week end trips. We just returned from the first week-end with access to a vehicle to move around the area, and short trips to town. It adds a wonderful dimension to the experience. This system allowed us to pull this vehicle with our motorhome, and I can say it pulled as if there was nothing behind me. It was quick to hook up, and easy to un-hook. My labor time to install was about 2 1/2 Hours, and went smoothly. This is a wonderful product, and works as desired. I have attached photos of the After installation, and the camp-site we stayed at, (proving we made it)

The wiring kit for the tow base kit was very well engineered and works very well. The videos for installing the base plate we're awesome step by step process and was very easily accomplished by someone with just a wrench and a drill and a few tools.

Would have gave it a full 5 stars if it would have actually fit into the receiver. Tried both my extension receiver and the OEM 2 inch receiver. Would not budge. Had to grind off the powder coating and then some. Now I need to then repaint to prevent rusting. I would have returned this if I didn’t need it now. Better quality control is needed on the e trailer brand. Guess I know it won’t rattle, lol. Buy a mainstream brand.
