For your 1998 Ford F-150 I attached a link that has all of the hitches available that would fit the vehicle. For one that would work on your vehicle if it has a standard or stepside bed you would want the Curt Hitch part # C14355.
I also attached an install video for the Curt hitch.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch... view full answer...
The base plate kit that I recommend for you to use on your 1997 Ford F-250 4x4 is the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit # 456-1. This kit has removable arms that allow you to have a nice clean look when not flat towing.
The Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422 is an excellent option to use that will compliment the MX Base Plate on your F-250.
You will also need to make sure that you have Safety Cables, like Roadmaster # RM-653, and a Wiring Kit, like Roadmaster... view full answer...
The Ford Replacemenet OEM Tow Package Wiring harness part # 118242 is not sold without the 7-way so ordering this part number would be your best option. 7-ways don't always last forever so with this you'd at least have a spare. view full answer...
Yes, the 4-way and the 7-way of the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672 that you referenced can be used at the same time as they are both active at all times. view full answer...
Your 1999 Ford F-150 can have a 7-way installed on it very easily in place of your 4-way so that you can operate electric trailer brakes with just the Ford Replacement OEM 7-Way part # 118242. This pretty easily installs with plug and play connectors at the rear of the vehicle and then also comes with all needed fuses and relays to complete the wiring as well.
Then for a brake controller you can't beat the Brake EVN part # TK63VR as it is a proportional option that works really well at... view full answer...
The best tuner we offer for your 1999 Ford F-250 is the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner part # SU1845. The Flashpaq F5 will provide increases in horsepower and torque up to 27HP/33TQ. The increased horsepower/torque will really wake up your F-250 so it does not feel as sluggish while towing up inlines. The included towing tune will also work to optimize shift points for the best performance and you will most likely see an increase is fuel mileage.
The Flashpaq F5 is easy to install... view full answer...
The two parts you referenced, the # 118242 and the # C55242 are both just two different manufacturers takes on basically the same product.
Either would work just as well as the other for you. The only difference is the brand.
For a brake controller the most popular option we carry is the P2 Brake Controller part # 90885 because of how easy it is to setup and how well it works.
All you would need to install it would be the part # 3035-P. This will plug into the controller and then plug... view full answer...
Everything you mentioned would be the correct parts to install a brake controller in your 1998 Ford F-150 with a 4-way. The P2 part # 90885, the 7-way part # 118242, and the harness part # 3035-P.
You could swap out the 7-way connector of the kit with the part # HM40950 which would fit just as well and comes with a 4-way plug too. view full answer...
We typically try to use 1/2 inch stainless steel staples when we install the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting, # CE11330, but 3/8 inch staples will work too. I would not go much shorter than the 3/8 inch staples because you don't want them to work their way out over time. I strongly recommend using stainless steel staples if possible. They will last much longer because they provide the best rust resistance.
I would also recommend uses a hammer to drive the staples all the way into... view full answer...
Sounds like you are referring to the tow hooks on the front of your 1998 Ford F-150. I have a solution for you, but there are no racks that will attach to them.
Instead you would want to install a front mount hitch like the part # 65025 which has been confirmed to fit your vehicle.
The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional... view full answer...
The tech notes you see regarding spare tires and other tech notes can appear for several reasons. First, the hitches will fit a variety of vehicles in most cases. It is possible that the note really applies to another vehicle the hitches fit but the note is tied to the hitch so it will always appear with it.
Notes can also appear if we feel that they need to be added based on our experiences and customer responses. Since you do not have a 20 inch spare you can disregard that note. The... view full answer...

There is a ladder rack that will work with the Tonno Pro Lo-Roll Soft Tonneau Cover part TPLR-3075 on a 1999 Ford F-150, the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4001222 and the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4000947 are the two best options.
These ladder racks both install inside the stake pocket openings so they won't interfere with a tonneau cover that mounts inside the bed rails. The ladder rack are also both made of aluminium so they... view full answer...
Yes the Derale electric fan part # D16919 that you referenced does fit your 1999 Ford F-250 with a 5.4 liter engine. Shrouds do make a noticeable difference as they force the air to come through the radiator instead of also allowing air to move through the blades that is to sides of fan. So you get all of the CFM moved through the radiator as opposed to a diminished amount.
We do not offer shrouds separately at this time. view full answer...
Trailer sway is most commonly caused by not having enough tongue weight. You will want to move as much weight to the front of the trailer as possible as this will make the biggest difference.
Next you want to make sure your trailer is being towed as level as possible. Check out the help article I attached that covers this topic as well.
Lastly, you will want to use a weight distribution system with a sway control unit as your last line of defense.

It looks like your Valley 5th wheel hitch installs in industry standard above the bed rails. For your 1997 Ford F-150 short bed you can use Curt custom installation kit # C16437-204. Using this kit means that you will not have to drill into the truck frame for installation. And the rails will accept a Valley hitch that fits in above the bed rails.
You can also use the universal kit # RP30035 but drilling into the truck frame is required. It will not fit if you have a SuperCrew model. view full answer...

For an adapter you would want the part # A10-6034VP. This will plug into the 4-way and will convert the taillight signal to a 6-way. To activate the power circuit for the camper battery you will need to run the black wire from this adapter to the positive post of the truck battery... view full answer...
