The towing capacity of the 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 with 5.3L V8 and 4.10 rear axle is 8100-lbs. For a 7600-lb GVWR travel trailer the resulting 500-lb safety margin is adequate/low-ish. With a trailer that weighs substantially more than the tow…
Yes, Rob - that’s one of the big advantages here with the PingMaster trailer tracker systems. The 3000 with WiFi backup #PM84FR, 5000 #PM64FR, and 5000 with WiFi backup #PM74FR are completely self-contained. They mount using the built-in magnet or…
Hey David, I would test fit everything and see which orientation works best. With the spacer or without. Ideally when the kit is installed there will be 1 inch of space between the Timbren and the frame so whichever orientation gets closest to that…
Hey Rob, congrats on the new SUV. To add a hitch to your 2026 Honda Pilot, I recommend the etrailer item #e27KR. This hitch is custom fit for your Pilot and comes with all hardware necessary for installation. The etrailer item #e27KR is a class III…
Hi Dan; the owner's manual and listed roof rack capacities are almost always the dynamic capacity. Is that the listed capacity for the roof itself or for the factory roof rack? A tent like the Thule Tepui #TH37HJ requires a minimum load capacity…
The RAS systems like #RAS4611 are widely considered to be the best suspension enhancement you can install on a truck towing a trailer. They provide the most stability, provide the most comfortable ride quality, and are adjustable in how much support…
Hi Nick! The B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers #BW45FR will work with any standard 2" tow & stow, including the Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black #BWTS10048B. That…
Good question, Terry. Like most trailer wheels, the #MXS59FR uses a lug-centric design, meaning it centers on the 1/2-20 conical lug nuts, not the hub. The 3.19 inch pilot hole just needs to clear your hub nose. Torque them to 90–120 ft-lbs and…
The wheels are hub-centric. The wheel bolts instead of lug nuts is the only clue needed. A hub-centric wheel centers on the hub using the pilot hole and hub so it would be a snug fit. You could still use a lug-centric wheel as long as the pilot hole…
I would recommend replacing the tires along with the wheels on your utility trailer. The tires that you currently have on your trailer are passenger car tires which can be identified by the P at the beginning of the tire size and it is not a common…
Hi Steve; the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs #AL25980EZ and #AL25980 are both single path systems and come with a remote and Bluetooth functionality. The main difference is the mounting and the compressor. The…
Hello Steve, thanks for reaching out. The Dexter 213273 comes back as a standard 3,500 lb axle, but I was not able to find any reference with the hub face (HF) or spring center (SC) dimensions which are critical in finding the correct replacement.…

For off-road enthusiasts, an on board air compressor is essential. It ensures your tires are always at the right pressure, enhancing traction and performance on rugged terrains. Whether you're deflating for sand or inflating for rocky trails, this tool keeps your adventures smooth and safe.
An on board air compressor allows you to adjust tire pressure on the go, crucial for tackling different terrains. Lower pressure improves grip on sand, while higher pressure is better for rocky paths. This flexibility enhances vehicle performance and safety during off-road adventures.
Look for a compressor with a high CFM rating for faster inflation, a durable build to withstand harsh conditions, and a reliable power source. Portability and ease of installation are also key, ensuring you can quickly set up and use it when needed.
Most on board air compressors can handle a range of tire sizes, but it's important to check the compressor's capacity. Larger tires may require a more powerful unit with a higher CFM to ensure efficient inflation without overheating.
Regularly check for leaks, clean the air filter, and ensure all connections are secure. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. Periodic maintenance will keep it running smoothly and extend its lifespan, ensuring it's ready for every adventure.
Installation varies by model, but many are designed for easy setup with basic tools. Some kits come with detailed instructions and all necessary hardware. If you're not comfortable with DIY, professional installation is a good option to ensure everything is correctly fitted.
