We have lift kits for trailer that easily add 2 inches to the height of the trailer. For that you'd want the part # RR23QX and you'd be set. I attached a picture that shows how it installs to give you an idea. This would be the easiest solution to your situation. view full answer...
For your 2019 Cadillac XT5 the Rhino Rack RVP roof rack part # RR67QJ that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would be a great option for carrying a cargo box. This is a sleek and quiet roof rack that's well made and easy to install without the higher price tags of other options. It would be a great option to carry a larger cargo box like the Thule Motion XT part # TH629907 that can carry up to 22 cubic feet of storage space. view full answer...
Yes, the Curt Class III Hitch Receiver # C13285 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Cadillac XT5 base model. It will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation and features a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. I have attached an installation video that you can also use for reference.
For a trailer wiring harness I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One # 118720 if you need a 4-Way connector or the Tekonsha # 118276 if you need a 7-Way. These are both custom harnesses... view full answer...
I did some checking and the front wheel drive versions of the 2019 Cadillac XT5 can be towed on a tow dolly like the Roadmaster dolly part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced but the all wheel drive versions need to be towed on a tow dolly.
I'd recommend going with a front wheel drive XT5 then and you'd be able to tow it with a dolly then. Front wheel drive vehicles tend to get better gas mileage than all wheel drive ones as well. view full answer...
We currently do not have a brake controller installation video available for your 2017 Cadillac XT5. Rather than using a hard wire brake controller like the Tekonsha # 90885, I recommend a wireless option.
The Curt Echo # C51180 is a wireless brake controller that will plug into your 7-way on your XT5. It works with your smart phone through the Echo App. This is a proportional controller so once you set it for your combination it will not require any adjustments. And best of all you can... view full answer...
In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist part # TH898 on a 2018 Cadillac XT5 I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA118B-2, part # RRRCL4, part # RR32SV. This is an aero bar system that will provide you with the required overhang you need for the Hullavator. I also like Rhino-Rack a lot as they are much more affordable than some of the other top tier options but you don't miss any features, they in fact come with locks whereas these... view full answer...
If you use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e62AR with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118276 on a 2021 Cadillac XT5 you will need the Mounting Bracket and Installation Hardware part # PK12711U for mounting. The trailer hitch has a half bracket welded-on and the above is the other half which secures the connector. view full answer...
The lowest profile roof rack that fits your 2021 Cadillac XT5 is the Rhino Rack RVP roof rack part number # RR67QJ as it's a flush bar setup which means the crossbars do not extend past the feet and instead install to the inside of them which allows them to sit lower. view full answer...
The two vehicles are different enough that a hitch that fits one of them would not fit the other. So for the 2018 Cadillac XT5 you'd need the etrailer part # e62AR that you referenced. I attached and install video for this hitch on a very similar 2017 XT5 as yours for you to check out as well.
If you are in need of trailer wiring, you'd want the # 118720 as well. Install video attached for this too. view full answer...
I did some looking around, but I was unable to find anything we carry to accomplish a quick release of this panel. That being said, this does not mean there is nothing available.
We do have an alternate option, however. A hitch cover like the Au-Tomotive Gold Hitch Covers Plain Black Cover # AUT-BNK2-RB, or the Curt Chrome Cover # F-10P would be good options to fill in the gap. view full answer...
For your 2017 Cadillac XT5 the Tekonsha 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness part # 118720 is a confirmed fit and will give you a 4-way for your trailer to connect to.
If you were in need of a hitch as well we have the etrailer trailer hitch # e62AR that is a confirmed fit as well.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also... view full answer...
We have all of the components you need to tow a trailer with your 2017 Cadillac XT5 but we don't have the Cadillac brand towing package. The etrailer hitch part # e62AR that you referenced would be the best hitch we offer. It has plenty of towing capacity, a great price, and has great towing capacities. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring then you'd need the part # 118720 which would give you a 4-way connector.
Since you wanted to... view full answer...
We can help you with selecting a 2-inch Class III hitch for your 2017 Cadillac XT5.
We offer options from Curt and etrailer that you can see on the linked page. Both hitches offer similar capacities so based on lower cost I recommend the etrailer option # e62AR that you referenced. I linked a complete installation video that shows you the entire process.
Towing requires a few additional components. I suggest the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which includes multiple hitch balls... view full answer...
I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR for your 2003 Cadillac XT5. This receiver is custom fit to conceal itself behind the factory removable panel.
You have the option of the 4-Way Harness # 118720 or 7-Way Harness # 118276. Both will connect to the factory connectors on your XT5. You will need the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # 18144 to secure the 4-way to the receiver. Or the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # PK12711U for the 7-way harness. view full answer...
The 2017 Cadillac XT5's should all come with a tow package port regardless of options so the trailer wiring harness installs are all plug-in play, there is no physical battery connection. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118720 for 4-way or part # 118276 for 7-way. These will both plug into a port under the rear bumper. view full answer...
For your 2017 Cadillac XT5 you'd need a hitch installed first like the Curt # C13285 so that you could carry an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the weight capacity needed but what I also really like about this rack is that it has a ramp that pulls out to make loading the heavier e-bikes a bit easier. view full answer...
I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR as the best option for your 2024 Cadillac XT5. Our receiver will fit behind the removable factory cutout in your rear fascia.
For the wiring we have a 4-Way # C56325 or 7-Way # C56326 connector. If in doubt it is best to go with the 7-way as you will be able to use an Adapter # PK12716 to go down to a 4-way connection. You will need a Mounting Bracket # C67UR to secure the end of the 7-way. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13285 will be a perfect solution for you to be able to haul your Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Platform Rack part # TH92BJ.
While the installation of the hitch is extremely easy I can't offer an estimate of what a local shop would charge you to install it. I have liked a video of the installation for you to check out to see if you want to attempt it or show your shop. I would imagine it will be no more than an hour labor to complete the job with... view full answer...
You sure can!
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13285 you have for your 2017 Cadillac XT5 uses Curt Fish Wire Bolt Leader - 7/16" # C58410.
If you are missing more than just the fish wire then you will need Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK which comes with the fish wire and all new hardware. All you will need to do is select Curt from the drop down menu and then enter 13285 in the hitch item number field.
