Depending your engine and settings, you can add up to 35 horsepower and 50 foot pounds of torque. Performance gains will vary some based on your climate and if you have any other performance parts on the vehicle.
The # EP59YR has the ability to add vehicle licenses to tune multiple vehicles with 1 product. This is a fairly new feature. view full answer...
You can tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2011 Ford F-250, short bed. A Short bed will require a slider unit or, in some cases, depending on the width of the fifth-wheel trailer you will need a stationary hitch and a Sidewinder.
If your truck has the pre-installed 5th wheel prep package, which includes underbed 5th wheel rails installed at the Ford factory, you will need to use the Reese Elite Series Pre-Assembled 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # RP30144. I have included a link to the installation... view full answer...
Yes, you're on the money; if you are not using the plug of the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56009 you can ground the plug of the Blue Ox 4-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord with 4-Way, Round Plugs # BX8861 and be fine.
I have added links to video reviews for you as well. view full answer...
A vehicle base plate for a tow bar is a vehicle-specific item that is designed and engineered to fit on a particular vehicle. Although it might be theoretically possible to modify a base plate so that it fits a vehicle other than the one it was designed for, I cannot in any way recommend doing so. The geometry of the front of the Terrain and the F150 are different enough that I highly doubt it would even be possible. Keep in mind that altering a base plate assembly in any way will void... view full answer...
The videos on the product page are for installation help and information, they do not necessarily relate to the only installation available for the parts listed. I checked for the proper brake controller with wiring harness for you. You will need the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller# 90885 with Ford Adapter, # 3035-P.
I've linked you to a video showing a controller being installed on a 2006 F150. view full answer...
The easiest way to find the right Sidewinder pin box is to get the make and model of the pin box currently on your fifth wheel trailer. If you do not know the make and model, you can use the chart in the attached article to find the right Sidewinder for your trailer, or you can give me the measurements you said you have and I will be glad to make a recommendation that will work for you.

The Taskmaster ST225/75R-15 bias ply tire you mentioned, part # A225R64WM carries an M speed rating, up to 81 miles an hour.
Trailer tires don't carry a tread wear and heat rating like passenger car tires do, because they're only meant for use on a trailer.

The electric brakes of the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - Easy Grease - 6 on 5-1/2 - 86-1/2" Long - 6,000 lbs # e73SR are not self-adjusting, they are manual-adjust.
To get the same axle with hubs and self-adjusting electric brakes you'd need the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 6,000 lbs # e33GR, Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K, Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7-SA, and Mounting Hardware # BRKH12. view full answer...
Suspension enhancement systems, like the Super Springs # SSA28, can be used with weight distribution systems. However, Super Springs may not have much of an effect because a weight distribution system is going to be more effective at reducing sag and distributing the tongue weight.
However, if you are getting a lot of sag, a weight distribution system is the best solution. If you still have sag after setting up a weight distribution system, I recommend double checking how much tongue weight... view full answer...
I've done some research on the Pro Pride 3 hitch, but I haven't used one. It looks like a pretty neat design for trailers that have a severe sway problem. The system is said to overcome 'poor trailer design' and 'improper loading'. I've seen prices of $ 2500 quoted for the hitch.
Now for my opinion. For the small percentage of folks who have very long (35 feet +) and tall travel trailers that are very sensitive to sway that aren't loaded properly or who have ben traumatized by a severe... view full answer...
When suspension enhancement like the # SSR-117-40 are used, they do not raise the back end of the truck. These only provide support when you carry heavier loads and help when you travel over roads where the suspension may bottom out.
Installing these suspension enhancement kits will not increase the vehicle capacity and are designed to be used with a suspension system in good working order. view full answer...
If the trailer is equipped with electric brakes and you want them to actuate, you'll need a brake controller. A brake controller is a fairly small investment that will go a long way to keep you safer when towing.
There are two types of controllers, the older time-delayed variety and the newer proportional type.
I'd recommend going with a proportional controller like the Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160. A proportional controller can sense how quickly the tow vehicle is braking, and will... view full answer...
I'm sorry about the confusion!
The main differences between the Rhino-Rack Nautic SUP Series 570 # RR570 and the Nautic SUP Series # 581 # RR581 is that the 581 includes only channel-mounting hardware while the 570 only includes clamp-on hardware. For these two different hardware styles, they install differently onto your Rhino-Rack aero crossbars.
If the channel-mount option is important for you, you can definitely free free to change out the cradles. As far as why you didn't see it... view full answer...
One hundred percent go with the 13 inch radial trailer tire, the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10199.
Bias tires are really only best for agricultural use while radial tires are best for normal, everyday roadways. The reason for that is bias tires have cords which run diagonally while radial tires have cords that run from side-to-side. What this does is result in radial tires flexing more, running cooler (which means they last longer), and providing better road traction. view full answer...
If it is necessary to lift your 2012 Ford F-150 by the frame, first release the air pressure from the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2542. This will allow the air springs to extend to their maximum length without being damaged. The uninflated air springs are capable of supporting the weight of the axle when the vehicle is lifted by the frame.
If the vehicle is to remain on the lift for an extended period of time I recommend using some jacks to support some of the weight from... view full answer...
Adding a sway bar to the RoadActive (they used to be called Roadmaster but changed) leaf spring suspension enhancement kit would be overkill for your 2019 Ford F-150. Honestly, the RoadActive will do such a good job that a sway bar really won't add much, if any, benefit to your truck's handling. You'll get exceptional benefit from the RoadActive kit, with the right part number for your '19 F-150 depending on if you have 2WD or 4WD:

The roof of your F-150 will allow for a little bit of wiggle room as far as the crossbar spread. You should be able to move each crossbar front/back a few inches. The curvature of the roof will limit how far front/back you can move them.
You are not wrong in saying the load will be more stable a bit farther back, but we do want to keep things fairly centered on the roof. Roof rack manufactures like Rhino rack will test the strongest points on the roof, and base their recommended crossbar... view full answer...
Horsepower and torque increases in your 2010 Ford F-150 from installing a performance tuner like the Superchips Flashpaq F5 # SU1845 will depend on which engine it has. This tuner with the 4.6L engine can deliver gains up to 10-HP and 19-ft-lbs of torque, but in the 5.4L it can bring up to a 37-HP gain and up to 50-ft-lbs of additional torque.
These gains are with use of the Performance setting and with high-octane fuel. When using 87-octane fuel the gains will be substantially lower,... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at SuperChips and the expected increase in horsepower and gas mileage for a 2013 Ford F-150 with the 6.2L V8 Engine using the Flashpaq F5 # SU1845 is 24 HP with 30 lbs Torque at the wheels, and an increase in gas mileage of 10-15 percent, which would be 1-4 MPG.
Please note that this performance module is not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled vehicles in the state of California. view full answer...
When the Edge Evolution Programmer # EP59YR is installed on your F-150 there are several performance improvements you can expect.
With the advanced tuning options, you can see improved throttle response which would address the 'lag' you said you have. The High Performance, setting on this system provides quicker, firmer shifts which may take care of the delay in your acceleration.
