  • Clevis Hitch and Pin to Tow an Agricultural Trailer
  • It sounds like you're looking for a clevis hitch, like the MaxxTow # MT70034. Then use a 1 inch diameter clevis pin, part # CP20, to hook up your trailer.

  • Adding a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch to a Flatbed on a 1990 Ford F-350
  • I do have a solution for your flatbed 1990 Ford F-350 but the Curt hitch # C16265 won't work for a couple of reasons (flat bed height and lack of installation kits that work with flatbed trucks). What you can use is the Reese low-profile hitch # RP30054. It was made for flatbed trucks but will require a custom installation. Basically, one the hitch is assembled you will do the following: Using the 4 square holes in the base as template, mark, pilot drill and finish drill to 5/8” dia....

  • Brake Controller and Wiring for a 1990 Ford F-250 Towing a 2 Tandem Axle Trailer
  • I can help you pick out a brake controller and figure out if your truck has been wired already or not. First lets start with the brake controller. I highly recommend the Tekonsha P3 # 90195, because it is a proportional brake controller which means it senses how the tow vehicle is slowing or stopping and applies the trailer's brakes with the same intensity. It also has a full display screen instead of codes that need deciphering. The P2 # 90885 is like the P3's little brother, it has...

  • How Many Hours will the Vision X 9004 Halogen Headlight Bulbs # VX-L9004 Last
  • I spoke to my contact at Vision X and he informed me that the Vision X 9004 Halogen Headlight Bulbs # VX-L9004 that you referenced has a lifetime warranty. They would last much longer than 250 hours and even if they were to fail at any point they would get replaced.

  • Replacement Tarp For Extang BlackMax Tonneau Cover On 1984 Ford F-150
  • If the tonneau cover you have installed on your 1984 F-150 is the Extang # EX2770, then the replacement tarp that is designed for your truck is part # EX1770. For this cover to work you need the original BlackMax hardware and bows. If you need the snaps used for this cover we also carry those. They are part # EX2128, and there are 28 snap studs in the package.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit, Slider Hitch and Gooseneck Adapter for 1991 Ford F-350 Short Bed
  • The two adapters you mentioned fit fifth wheel rail kits and give you a gooseneck hitch ball. There would be no way to use one of the plate adapters and a fifth wheel slider at the same times. But if you can email me back with more info on what you are planning on towing I can see what you'd need. If I am understanding you correctly you want a set of fifth wheel rails so that you can tow a fifth wheel trailer and then an adapter to allow you to tow a gooseneck hitch?

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1990 Ford F-250 with Spare Tire
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15300 will most likely interfere with your spare tire. That doesn't mean it cannot fit, but it will most likely require the mentioned aftermarket modification. Curt # 14001 most likely won't fit even with a modified spare holder. To ensure no modification is needed for your spare tire, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2" # 41904. This is a very strong hitch with a...

  • Recommended Under-Bed Rail Installation On A 1991 Ford F-350 With Overload Springs
  • There is not an underbed system from Reese that will function like the Reese Elite puck style system on your 1991 Ford F-350 long bed. However, there is one system that will work similarly that uses an underbed gooseneck and a compatible 5th wheel hitch to give you that clean bed option. The system I recommend for your application is the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs, # BWRVK3500-5W used with the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 1989 Ford F-350
  • To install a 7-way and a brake controller in your 1989 Ford F-350 you will need the 7-way kit part # 20023 a brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR and a little more wiring. For a wiring kit to install the brake controller to the 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from the brake pedal switch of your vehicle to...

  • Class III Hitch Receiver Recommendation for 1987 Ford F-150 with 37-1/4 Inch Frame
  • I do have a Class III hitch that fits your 1987 Ford F-150 with a 37-1/4 inch frame, however, it's not a Curt. Take a look at the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III # 75038. This hitch receiver has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight rating of 500 lbs, which is more in line with the towing capacity of your F-150. It also features a concealed crosstube design, just like the Curt # 14001. That being said, Draw-Tite hitches are not manufactured in the USA. If...

  • How Do Trailer Batteries Normally Get Charged When Being Towed
  • What most people do to put a maintenance charge on a deep cell battery like yours that is on a trailer is to run a 10 gauge wire from the 12 volt accessory circuit on the 7-way directly to the positive post of the battery. A battery of your size can only have a maintenance charge put on it through the trailer connector though since the wire gauge is pretty small. The silver lining to this is that you would never have to worry about the battery getting over-charged.

  • How Does Draw-Tite 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Install on a 1988 Ford F-250
  • Drilling is required to install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # DT45502 on a 1988 Ford F-250. You will need to drill eight 1/2 inch holes to secure the hitch to the bottom of the vehicle frame. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Be Installed on a Modified 1988 Ford F-150, 250, or 350
  • On trailer hitch # 75038 it measures approximately 9-1/4 inches from the bottom of the truck frame down to the center of the receiver. The hitches for the 1988 Ford F-series trucks are designed for stock models. I can't say for sure if any would fit with the modifications to the rear of your truck. If the measurements for the hitch don't work out another option is to use a weld-on hitch and have it installed by a qualified professional welder. I have linked the weld-on hitches that we carry.

The kit supplies you with the rails, universal install brackets and hardware for installation. If you have already received the rails then add Kit # C16101 it will have everything but the rails that are in the other kit.

  • Front Hitch for 1986 Ford F-350
  • The B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch # BWHDRH25122 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 1986 Ford F-350 Dually, but it's designed to install onto the frame rails at the rear. This will not fit the front of your truck. There is not a custom-fit front hitch available for this particular model F-350. The only option we have available that might work is an adjustable universal model like the Curt # C13702, which will fit frame widths of 18 to 51 inches. This can either be bolted on with...

  • Fifth Wheel Frame Brackets for 1985 Ford F-250 that Require No Drilling Into the Frame
  • Although we do not have a custom fifth wheel frame bracket installation kit for your 1985 Ford F-250, I have a few options for you. B&W offers the Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, # BWRVR3200. This kit does require drilling but is compatible with all 5th wheel hitches that use standard above bed rails. Another option would be to install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Install Kit, # BWGNRK1110. This kit requires no drilling to install the frame...
