Tow package Reece hitch with the right size ball, electric brakes with trailer wiring. Sway bar\'s stops trailer from swaying back & forth. The most important is to find out the tongue weight on trailer. If it\'s more than your Tahoe can handle you will need to put air bag\'s on your rear suspension to help support the weight. You will also need to check the tire load rating on your Tahoe\'s rear tires. You don\'t want a blow out going down the road! Goose neck trailer won\'t work period! Good luck!

SOURCE: how should I prepare my durango to pull a 24 foot travel trailer...what class of hitch, do I need in-board electric trailer brake controls, etc.?

Hi Frank,
I have a Durango 2000 and pull a 24 foot ski boot loaded with equipment. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't try towing anything without the trailer brakes connected. I purchased the Titan Trailer brakes setup and they've never failed me once. The hitch: just make sure you get the right towing capacity for your travel trailer. I have the 5.9 liter engine, which allows up to 6500 pounds of towing capacity. Your owners guide will explain how many based on engine size.
Good Luck, and happy traveling.
Mark

I have a 98 chevy tahoe. The #9 fuse keeps blowing.

Try disconnecting one feed wire at a time to see which circuit is shorted to the body/frame of your Tahoe. If you disconnect the trailer lights first and the fuse still works, look for the short circuit in this wiring. Auto electrical problems take time and patience to try everything, but one step at a time.

How do i wire my 1995 Chevy Tahoe brakes for a trailer?

Here in Ontario Canada we can buy a T shaped adapter at Canadian Tire or automotive supplies to quickly adapt. There is a chart where you just choose the make and model of your vehicle and purchase the appropriate one.

07 Chevy Tahoe BCM programmed

The air ride system can be "self tested" with a GM Tech 2 scan tool, you need that done to see what is causing this problem, it could be the suspension height sensor, it could be a leaking air bag (very common) or a defective air compressor or damaged leaking air lines from the compressor to the airbags, also a very common. The airbags are good for about 75,000 miles or less if the roads you travel on are in poor condition.

2005 Chevy Tahoe Trailer Running Lights Out

Depending on what type of trailer you have, a blown lightbulb on one marker could kill them all (like the old Christmas light strings). Look at those, and make sure your ground is good.
