Expert Answers about Cadillac Escalade


  • Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation for a 7K Enclosed Cargo Trailer with Aluminum Frame
  • Hey David, thanks for all of the info - I'd be more than happy to help you choose a WDH! For your application I recommend using the Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW0750 which has a tongue weight range of 550 lbs - 750 lbs and uses chains for sway control so they won't be as aggressive as the straight torsion bars. I know this initially sounds like overkill for the weights that you referenced, but you'll actually need to adjust some thing around inside your trailer prior to installing the SwayPro....

  • Weight Distribution Hitch on Vehicle with Self Leveling Suspension
  • For vehicles with auto-leveling suspension the proper setup procedure for weight distribution is to put the full tongue weight on the trailer hitch to activate the vehicle's auto-level function and then from there go through the setup procedure for the weight distribution system.

  • Can Anything be Done About 2019 Cadillac Escalade Hatch Not Opening w Lippert Smart Jack Installed
  • Hey Eric, it's great to hear from you again! If you're having trouble opening the rear hatch on your 2019 Cadillac Escalade with the Lippert Smart Jack # LC643589 installed on your trailer then you can try to unbolt the jack and turn it to see if that helps with clearance, but I'm not too confident that will give you the clearance you're needing. Aside from swapping out the jack to something with a smaller profile, I'm afraid the only solution for you would be to avoid getting into the...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 GMC Yukon Denali
  • The transmission cooler part # D13504 would be exactly what you need. This is a large cooler that would work well for your 2007 GMC Yukon Denali. I attached an install video that shows it being installed in a very similar 2009 Yukon as yours. Your engine temperature doesn't really seem that bad at all. But the transmission cooler will help slightly with that since it will allow the factory transmission cooler to run cooler as well which is connected to the radiator. Also the transmission...

  • Troubleshooting Redarc Liberty Solid Red Light When Installed on a 2020 Cadillac Escalade
  • Hey Matthew, thanks for reaching out! The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR should only be showing solid red when you press and hold the control knob to show that you're using the manual override operation. Since it sounds like this isn't working correctly, I recommend verifying that all of your wiring is connected to the correct functions, and that the manual override will activate your trailer brakes. I see that you used the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # 331-TPH-010...

  • 2X4 Stake Pocket That Does Not Require A Tapered Stake
  • I do have an option for you but the Rack'em Heavy Duty Stake Pocket for Flatbed Truck or Trailer part # PK-BSP does require the stake to be tapered at the bottom. I recommend CE Smith Stake Pocket for Flatbed Truck or Trailer - Galvanized Steel part # CE45004G which will accommodate a standard 2 x 4 which commonly measures 1-1/2" x 3-1/2". I have attached a diagram for your reference.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2015 Shasta Reissue Airflyte 19
  • The weight distribution system I recommend for your trailer and Cadillac Escalade is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # RP66082. The vintage style of your trailer is more prone to crosswinds and passing vehicles so this system is the best for actively working to prevent sway. You will also need the hitch ball # A-6 for a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball or # A-90 for a 2 inch hitch ball. The Husky # HT32217 is too big a system...

  • What is the Maximum Air Pressure for Air Lift 1,000 Pound Capacity Air Helper Springs
  • According to the instructions which I have linked for you for Air Lift suspension enhancement # AL60769, the maximum air pressure is 35 psi and the minimum is 5 psi. Over-inflation and under-inflation can damage the air bags so you will always want to stay within the 5 to 35 psi range.

  • Towing Capacity of 2014 Cadillac Escalade Premium
  • I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2014 Cadillac Escalade and found that it features a towing capacity of either 8,300 pounds for the 2WD model or 8,100 pounds for the AWD model. I do still recommend verifying this by checking your copy of the manual but based on this information your Escalade can absolutely pull your Lund Pro Boat that weighs up to 4,362 pounds (as long as the weight of the trailer itself doesn't push the combined weight over the vehicle's...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for RV with 4 x 4 Square Bumper
  • We currently have five bumper mounted 2" trailer hitch receivers that will work with the 4" x 4" bumper on your trailer. I have attached these options for you but I recommend using the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100. This trailer hitch uses steel plates to surround the bumper as opposed to the u-bolts in the other options. The steel plates will provide more support and also look much better than the u-bolt options. If you also need a cargo basket for your generator...

These chains have a self tensioning mechanism to maintain the correct level of tightness, nylon bumpers to protect the vehicle's wheels, and a class s rating for the best clearance. They will need to be installed on the front tires only. Please note, the owner's manual may have other stipulations for using tire chains you'll want to review before use.

  • Availability of Custom Wiring Harness for Voyager iD Installation on 2017 Cadillac Escalade
  • Hey Josh! The Tekonsha Voyager iD Brake Controller # TK26BR comes with a universal wiring harness. Since you have the factory tow port you can use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3016 for a plug and play installation. I see you also looked at the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED26CR. If you're trying to decide between the two I would get the Liberty for sure. This is hands down my favorite brake controller and the design the iD is based on. The Liberty has been around a lot longer and...

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2023 Cadillac Escalade ESV
  • Hi Michael; I'm sorry to say none of the major manufacturers make a custom hitch for the 2023 Escalade or Escalade ESV. The best way to add a hitch would be to get a universal weld-on like # 41990-07 or have a custom hitch fabricated locally using the # E-9. What do you need the hitch for?

  • Will K-Source Tow Mirrors KS49NQ Fit 2024 Cadillac Escalade 600D
  • Hey Bill, as long as the mirrors of your 2024 Cadillac Escalade 600D aren't telescoping then yes the K Source mirrors part # KS49NQ will fit and work great. I don't believe your mirrors are telescoping but from the research I did I wasn't able to confirm for sure but they do not look telescoping.
