  • Factory installed raised side rails
  • Factory installed flat tracks or fix points

What is A Naked Roof?

A vehicle with a naked roof (or bare roof) would not have tracks or rails. With a naked roof, you need a clip kit, leg kit and crossbars to create a complete roof-rack system. The installation process may vary slightly for each vehicle.

Trouble Shooting Electric Trailer Brakes

Written by Hitchweb Team Monday, July 27, 2015

If electric brakes are locked up when trailer is plugged in, but allow wheels to turn freely when brake wire is disconnected, what causes this?

If it’s all of the brakes it could be the brake controller itself that’s defective or not adjusted correctly. If it’s just one of them then there might be something wrong with the shoes or brake adjustment. Adjust the settings on your brake controller first or get it tested/try hooking up to a different truck if possible.
