• Hitch, Wiring and Ball Mount Kit for 2007 Chevrolet Uplander Towing Multiple Trailers
  If your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander has the 121-inch wheel base then the easiest hitch install will come with the Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # 13336 since this option is a no-drill install. This hitch and the 1-1/4-inch Curt # C12336 are the only such no-drill hitches offered. If your Uplander does not have this 121-inch wheel base then the option I suggest is the Draw-Tite # 75278 which does require drilling but costs less than others. Written instructions for all referenced hitches are...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver to Fit a 2017 Nissan Quest
  The Draw-Tite hitch you were looking at, part # 75278, fits GM vans of the late 1990's and early 2000's.

• Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2008 Chevy Uplander
  Congratulations on the addition to the family! I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2008 Chevy Uplander and it lists a maximum trailer weight of 3,500 pounds. With this in mind your van is more than up to the task of pulling your loaded boat trailer with a healthy safety margin intact. Since you will be staying well under the vehicle's limits towing the trailer shouldn't put too much stress on the transmission or engine. I do just recommend verifying this...

• Setting Up a 2004 Chevrolet Venture to Tow a 2,500 Pound Camper with Trailer Brakes
  Suspension supplements like the Timbren kits we carry may or may not be needed. At 2,500 pounds dry you should be within the tow capacity of the Venture. If your total trailer weight is close to the limit of the van, then I would suggest a suspension supplement. Since you will be towing a camper that will have pretty much the same load each time, I would suggest the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System as it will not need to be adjusted for varying loads. You would use part # TGMRREN if...

• Will Trailer Hitch Fit with Full Size Spare Tire on 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  When trailer hitch manufacturers determine a hitch fit for a vehicle, the fit is determined using the stock size spare tire. We do not have any trailer hitches for your 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette that are confirmed to fit with a full size spare tire. The hitch may still fit with the full size spare, but neither we nor the manufacturer have tested this to know if it is a fit.

• Recommendation for Complete Towing Setup on a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander 3.9 Liter
  I did some research on your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander and found that the maximum recommended towing capacity for this vehicle is 3,500 pounds. If your trailer is 2,600 pounds empty, you would be limited to 900 pounds or less of cargo. If 900 pounds of cargo sounds about right, you will need to check your hitch capacities and make sure it is capable of towing 3,500 pounds. You may find that a weight distribution system is needed to safely tow the maximum capacity with your vehicle. You...
