The Loading Ramp for Swagman Skaha and Escapee Bike Racks # S59SR is only going to work with the Swagman Skaha and Escapee bike racks and will not work with your E-Spec bike rack.
Instead, you're going to want to check out the Swagman Ramp and Bridge for Swagman Current, E-Spec, and G10 Bike Racks # S32YR which is going to work with your E-Spec. view full answer...
First you need the base plate kit which you have already picked out part # RM-523162-4 which is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Cadillac SRX without cruise control.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C82WR for your 2023 Cadillac XT6. .

The Mounting Bracket # C67UR will allow you to secure the 7-way to the welded tab on the receiver. Then you will be able to use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 to control the electric trailer brakes on your travel trailer. view full answer...
From what I've been able to determine from my research, all of the 2017 Cadillac XT5 have the plug that is used to connect a trailer wiring harness, so the Tekonsha # 118720 should work for you. If for some reason the plug has been removed, you would need to hard-wire in a harness like the Curt # C58044, but this is extremely unlikely. view full answer...

The factory plug on your 2014 Cadillax SRX will only work with a 4-way harness since it only has the functionality for the trailer lights. You will need to install the 4-way and then add a 7-way to it.
The most reliable option for a 4-way is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118259. Once installed, you can use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This kit comes with the adapter, wiring, breakers, and everything else you need to upgrade to a 7-way. view full answer...
I recommend installing the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523179-5 on your 2020 Cadillac Escalade. This will require cutting 3 holes in the lower fascia of your front bumper for the mechanical and electrical connections. The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 is their best selling tow bar. The aluminum and stainless steel construction provides for superior corrosion resistance over several years of use. You may need a High-Low adapter like the... view full answer...
Congrats on your vehicle purchase!
A complete towing package includes a trailer hitch receiver, wiring, a ball mount, pin and clip and a ball.
For your 2015 Cadillac SRX AWD I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75682. This provides you with a 2-inch receiver which not only accepts a larger variety of accessories over the 1-1/4 option, but it also has a higher towing capacity at 4,000 lbs and 400 tongue weight which is plenty enough for the 2,800 lb trailer... view full answer...
Your owners manual recommends to only flat tow four-wheel-drive vehicles with a two-speed transfer case that have an N (Neutral) and a Four-Wheel Drive Low (4n) setting. Please check your owners manual and see what other procedures need to be followed for flat towing your Cadillac Escalade ESV.
If you determine you can flat tow your 2015 Cadillac Escalade you will need the following items: base plate kit, tow bar, a set of safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.

The 2004 Cadillac Escalade AWD can be flat towed by using a transmission lube pump from Remco Towing. You will also need base plates, a tow bar, safety chains, lighting, and supplemental braking.
For base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster XL base plates, # 199-5. These base plates are compatible with numerous Roadmaster tow bars and the draw bars can be removed when not towing the vehicle. For a compatible tow bar, I recommend the RoadMaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-422.... view full answer...
It sounds like you are wanting to flat tow your 2013 Cadillac SRX behind your RV.
For a supplemental braking system, I really like the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. This proportional system will activate as soon as your RV's brake lights go on and apply the brakes in your Cadillac with the same intensity that you are braking with inside the RV. It is a one-time setup, meaning you will not need to remove or activate anything each time you tow. The actual operating unit and actuating cylinder... view full answer...
I'm not completely understanding why you're needing an adapter, and why it'd need to reach around the bumper. Which hitch are you using? I'd recommend using the Curt Class II receiver hitch, part # C12054.
I'd recommend simply using a cargo carrier that's designed for a 1-1/4 inch receiver like the 20x48 Curt cargo carrier, part # C18110. Using an adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force that can be safely applied to hitch) by half. You'll avoid this... view full answer...
I recommend installing the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS49NQ onto your 2023 Cadillac Escalade. These towing mirrors will snap over the backs of your factory side-view mirrors and will extend your line of sight. These mirrors have a custom design that will match the contour of your existing mirrors, which will prevent vibration and wind noise and will provide a secure fit for your vehicle. The mirrors have a tool-free installation and removal with no hardware needed. The... view full answer...
Yes, there is an exterior connector for the trailer wiring harness. Tekonsha has a Wiring Harness for your 2017 Cadillac XT5, part # 118720, that will provide a 4-way trailer connector for you.
If you already have a trailer hitch installed, like part # e62AR, the connection that you will be looking for is just up and to the driver's side of your 2017 Cadillac XT5. Just connect the wiring harness that I mentioned earlier and you are good to go!

In order to determine if your vehicles can be flat towed and if there are any special requirements (such as a specific transmission or engine) you will want to consult your vehicle owner's manuals.

Along with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1716 and the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380 there are a couple more parts you need in order to safely flat tow your 2016 Cadillac Escalade.
Since the Alpha comes with safety chains we can check that off the list but you will also need a wiring kit in order to activate your Escalade's brake lights and turn signals. For that the best option is the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267, or you can simply add magnetic... view full answer...
