  • Recommended Brake Controller Adapter for 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

  • Will the Curt Class III Hitch for the 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Fit with Full Size Spare Tire
  • Yes, the Curt Class III Hitch, part # 13407, will fit your 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac without removing the factory size spare tire. Spare tires larger than the factory size are not tested with trailer hitches so if your spare is larger than OEM it could prove to be a problem. I have included a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch for you to review. I also attached a photo of a similar hitch installed on a Sport Trac with OEM full size spare. We do not have a photo...

  • How To Push A Trailer With 350 Lb Tongue Weight Up An Incline
  • The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # 65030 is a fit for the 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with a 9000 lb line pull (straight line capacity) or 300 lb vertical capacity (much like tongue weight). The Draw-Tite Front Mount trailer hitch has a 3,000 gross capacity and it is not designed to push a trailer up an incline. That would put a lot of stress on the frame of your vehicle so I cannot recommend it. A better option is the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and...

  • Fit of Snowsport Snow Plow with Curt # C31029 Front Hitch on 2003 Explorer Sport Trac
  • In order for a SnowSport plow to be compatible with a front mounted receiver on your 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, the bottom of the receiver tube must be between 8 and 16 inches off the ground. When installed, the hitch will sit directly below your front bumper as shown in the provided photo. The bottom of the receiver tube will be approximately 2-1/2 inches below the bumper, so if you measure from the underside of the bumper to the ground, and subtract 2-1/2 inches from that, you should...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2WD

  • Will the Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Ford Sport Trac?
  • I spoke with my contact at Swagman and he said the Truck Bed Mount Bike Rack part # S64702 is adjustable down to 50-1/4 inches. So if your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac has a bed that measures 50 inches wide it is going to be a very tight fit. Another option would be the Yakima BlockHead Single Bike Truck Bed Mounted Rack # Y01117. This rack is intended as a universal carrier that can fit the majority of bicycle sizes and types when mounted in a truck bed.

  • Can Front Mounted Hitch Receiver on 2003 Ford Explorer Be Used as a Tow Bar?
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31540 is a fit for your 2003 Ford Explorer 4-door , but it is not a way to safely tow your vehicle. You will need to use a base plate kit like the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 474-1 for example. I've linked the page to all your options to assist but a front mounted receiver can't be used in conjunction with a base plate.

  • Correct Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • The only front mount trailer hitch option for a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31029 which does require drilling. That said, it's only two holes so it will be rather minor. There are no options from Draw-Tite at this time.

  • Will a Bed Extender Fit a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • I reccomend the Curt # C57WR Universal Truck Bed Exender which will fit nearly all full size pickup trucks including Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Dodge, Ram, and Nissan, with standard 60" wide tail gates. (6.5 foot and longer beds) and provide 26-1/2 inches of additional bed length for storage and hauling. May not work with flare-style tailgates. Compatible with most tonneau covers. I would check that measurement before ordering.

  • Roof Mount Bike Rack Recommendation, 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with Factory Cross Bars
  • We do have several roof mounted bike racks that will fit your 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, but the FrontLoader, # Y02103, will not fit. The Yakima roof rack mounted bike racks will require Universal MightyMounts to attach to factory cross bars on a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The MightyMounts cannot be locked. Another solution is to use a Thule roof mounted bike rack # TH599000. This carrier can be locked by adding 2 lock cores # TH450200.

  • Parts Needed to Bypass Trailer Wiring on a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • If the fuses are all functioning correctly and you have traced the wiring on your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac without finding the problem then I agree with you that the best option is to just bypass all of the OEM wiring with aftermarket wiring. For your application I recommend using the Tekonsha # 119179KIT which you will splice in behind your tail lights and then route the black wire up to your battery. This kit is designed to keep the tail light wiring from being affected by any malfunctions...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller on a 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • Brake controllers are not vehicle specific so you can use any of them that come up for your 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. If your vehicle came with a 4-Way flat trailer connector, you will also need to add a 4 and 7-Way installation kit, # ETBC7. I have included links that explain how to install the ETBC7. If the vehicle did not come with any trailer connector you will need to add one using # 18252.
