• Least Expensive Way to Carry Two 75 Lb Electric Bikes on 2016 Ram 1500
  I have a suggestion for you, but unfortunately, we're not going to have a hitch mounted bike rack for electric bikes that's going to fit into your budget. Most of our e-bike racks max out at 60 lbs per bike, so your least expensive options are going to be either the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR, with a capacity of 70 lbs per bike, or the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR, with a capacity of 80 lbs per bike -- both over budget. If you're able to utilize your truck bed to carry your e-bikes,...

• Will Optronics LED Magnetic Tow Lights Protect Against Scratching 2018 Ford Fiesta SE Paint?
  The Optronics Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit - Weatherproof - Red Lens - 20' Wiring Harness - Qty 2 # TLL21RK has a protective label pad on the bottom to keep from scratching paint. You can see this at the 2 minute mark of the attached review video. I do recommend wiping down the vehicle with a microfiber cloth before putting the lights on simply to remove any dust or debris that could be abrasive between the scratch free label and the paint for added security.

• Magnetic Versus Wired Magnetic Towing Lights For Long Road Trips
  If you were to go with the either the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light 4-Way # LIW-LDTL or 7-Way # LIW-LDTL-7B I recommend getting 2 of these. That will allow you to have one in the cab charging while using the other one. As they have an expected battery life of 6-8hours per charge this will allow you to switch them out as you stop for gas or food. Otherwise the Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit # TLL21RK will provide you with 20' of wiring to use hard wired lights. These lights uses LED's...

• Best Bracket and Light To Add To Hollywood Bike Rack
  I recommend to use the 6-1/2" oval bracket part # BK70BB with the lights of the LED light kit part # 98174LED because the 6" oval will be a tight fit. They will fit perfectly into the 6-1/2" oval bracket with the grommets on the light. I have attached a photo for your reference. The brackets will require self tapping screws or zip ties to hold them on. Another option is to use the Magnetic LED lights part # TLL21RK on the vehicle itself instead of trying to attach them to the bike rack....

• Solution for Blocked Tail Lights When Using Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
  I do have a solution for you, but Thule doesn't offer a light kit specifically designed for your EasyFold XT bike rack, # TH903202. One option is to use the LED Light Kit # 98174LED along with two mounting brackets # BK70BB . This would most likely require permanent modifications to your EasyFold though, since you'd need to drill holes to mount the lights on the rack itself. You could try to use zip ties to attach the mounting brackets to your bike rack, but it wouldn't be the most secure. A...

• Will Blue Ox Portable Braking System work on 2005 Toyota Corolla
  Thank you for your recent order. Yes, the Blue Ox Portable Braking System, # BLU37TR, will work on your 2005 Toyota Corolla. This system activates the brakes in your towed vehicle at the same time and with the same intensity as the brakes in your RV.

  I certainly understand your desire to keep the cost to flat tow your 2004 Honda CRV as low as possible. Unfortunately, flat towing any vehicle requires a lot of parts which makes flat towing fairly expensive. What I am recommending is not the most inexpensive way to flat tow but it is the most effective at a reasonable price. To flat tow your 2004 Honda CRV, you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, a braking system, and maybe a high-low hitch adapter. For base...

• How To Add Taillights to the Thule EasyFold Bike Rack
  There a few options to add tail lights to the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack part # TH903202.

• Flat Towing 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Behind Class A Motorhome with 5000-lb-Rated Hitch
  If your Class A motorhome's hitch is rated for 5000-lbs, then this limit applies whether you are using a tow dolly or a tow bar for flat towing. As long as your TrailBlazer's gross weight is within the hitch (and motorhome) towing capacity then you can tow the vehicle. There is an important difference between dolly towing and tow bar towing. A tow bar puts almost no tongue weight load on your hitch (its pretty much just some of the weight of the tow bar) while a tow dolly will still put...

• Tail Lights for Motorcycle Carrier that Blocks Tow Vehicles Lights
  If a motorcycle on a hitch mounted carrier is blocking your vehicle's tail lights and turn signals then it will be illegal to use in day or night. If you have a 4-way trailer connector you can use a cargo carrier light kit, like # e98943-44LED. These are designed to be installed on a cargo carrier but they'll work for your application. You'll need to find a way to mount them though. Another option is a magnetic light kit. The Magnetic LED Tow Lights # TLL21RK plug into the vehicle's...

Surge brakes operate by using a mechanical braking...
