    Hitch receiver for 5BW?

    Umm, yes it is a Jeep. Yes it has a hitch, 2" vs 1.25" on the 5BW. Maybe you need some sleeping pills or something? 🥱

    Hitch receiver for 5BW?

    Hitch receiver for 5BW?

    Thanks! Spending the $22 to access the service manual and download relevant sections was definitely worth it to get an idea of how things connect before digging in. In my SS, the hitch receiver replaced the whole bumper bar. Steel not aluminum so probably not compliant to US crash...

    Hitch receiver for 5BW?

    A few other things while I am thinking of it: I really like how it turned out - the receiver is tucked neatly directly under the center diffuser vane. Before I took things apart I measured from the floor to the bottom of the center diffuser vane and got about 10". When I mocked up the...

    Hitch receiver for 5BW?

    Here are some pictures and commentary on the install. There were a couple of things that were not straightforward. First, here is the rear of the car with the fascia off. You can also see the junk in my trunk (haha). The CT5 service manual page for the rear fascia was helpful to get it off...

    Hitch receiver for 5BW?

    Just received this, going to give it a go this weekend. Curt 11900: Class 1 Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver, Select Camaro, Cadillac CTS (Fascia Trimming) After looking at the instructions and the relevant portions of the service manual, I'm expecting it will fit with a bit of trimming of the lower...

    CT5-V OTA update?

    By "good thing" I am celebrating the fact that a company issued a software update and it appears to work seamlessly with no adverse effects. Rare occurrence these days.

    Any updates? Are the Z26 pads a viable option for the 5BW?

    A10 4 or 5BW Owners, how do ya really feel!

    Love the A10! I love the different personalities it has and that they are configurable. I love how quick it shifts when you get on it - and the sound of those shifts! - it sounds like a race car! My experience is limited, never driven a DCT, but I have zero complaints.

    CT5-V OTA update?

    Got it, installed it, no issues driving with it. No idea what changed. Guess that's a good thing.
