Will CE Smith Post Style Guide-Ons Work with a Tahoe Q5 and Trailer
Updated 05/19/2015 | Published 05/18/2015
Question:
I have a Tahoe Q5 and would like to know if the guide posts will work. The rear of the trailer platform is 14inches so would have to mount over the top. The question is since the frame is slightly slanted down will this cause an issue. The frame measurements are 1 1/2inch x 3. The space between platform and vertical brace is 6. I will attach pictures very a better visualization

Expert Reply:
I think what you are going to have to do, since that step extends so far back on the trailer and the frame has an angle to it, is bolt the bracket to the top of the step rather than clamp it to the frame. So basically the post will be sandwiched between the bracket and the step.
