  • Best Replacement for Carrier RV Air Conditioning Unit on 2006 Holiday Rambler Presidential 5th Wheel
  • The only direct replacement for Carrier AC Units we offer are going to be the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioners # ACCAR150 or # ACCAR135 . I recommend going with the 15000 BTU unit to help cool your 2006 Holiday Rambler. These Advent units are designed for use with your existing Carrier thermostat and ceiling vents and provide a "plug and play" in terms of ease of installation. These units come equipped with a start capacitor that stores power to allow for starting the AC unit...

  • Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Combo For a 2011 Ford Ranger With 6 Foot Bed
  • I do have an option for you but we currently only offer one truck bed ladder rack that will work with the stake pocket holes on your 2011 Ford Ranger and that is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43001XT-600. It sounds like this may be a bit out of your price range but unfortunately we just don't have any other options as I am not aware of any stake pocket mounts that you could use to build you own ladder rack on either. For a cost effective tonneau cover that...

We have an install video that shows the process of this install with the # RM-154 that I attached to this page. The specific wiring connector is different but the in-depth part of the install that wires to the vehicle wiring is shown in the video.

  • Can Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 be Used with AEB Braking System
  • AEB braking is a modern style of braking system that is designed to prevent collisions. As long as the brake lights of the vehicle light up when your vehicle's AEB system is activated (it should) then our brake controllers like the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 that you referenced will work just fine.

  • Slide On Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2005 Ford Ranger
  • We have a great slide on style tow mirror for your 2005 Ford Ranger but it's not the # 11501 that you referenced. Instead you'd want the Longview kit part # CTM2200A which is a confirmed fit and is a similar mirror. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2019 Ford Ranger
  • I can help you pick out all of the parts needed to flat tow your 2019 Ford Ranger but we do not have a single part number kit that comes with everything. So the first thing you need is a base plate kit which for that you'd want the part # BLU77XR which is a confirmed fit. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail #...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2023 Ford Ranger XLT
  • For your 2023 Ford Ranger XLT we have the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BLU77XR as a confirmed fit. The Blue Ox base plates are really easy to connect and disconnect from tow bars so they are a great choice. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep...

  • Curt Towing Parts needed for 2002 Ford Ranger and How Loud is Magaflow Exhaust For It
  • We have all of the Curt towing components you mentioned individually but we do not have them as an entire kit. So we have the Curt hitch # 13138, the wiring # C55344, the ball mount # C45010, the hitch ball # C40002, and the pin and clip # C21500. The Magnaflow Catback # MF15679 is going to be noticeably louder than what you have but not to the point it would be annoying. If you fast forward to the 2:20 mark of the install video I attached for this you can hear the difference as well.

  • Parts Needed to Install Redarc Tow Pro Elite on 2020 Ford Ranger with 7-Way
  • All you'd need to wire in the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR to your 2020 Ford Ranger with a factory 7-way is the brake controller as there isn't a connector/port under your dash for one to plug in but there is wiring present that you'd need to wire to. When we did this install on the 2019 Ranger we used the Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob # 331-TPSI-003 to mount the # RED44FR which replaced one of the factory 12v outlets, but you can mount...

  • How Does Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Install on 2021 Ford Ranger
  • All you need to wire your Prodigy P3 brake controller # 90195 to your 2021 Ford Ranger is the brake controller as there isn't a port/connector under dash and instead is 4 wires that you'd wire controller to. Look under dash to the left of the brake pedal for wires with shrink tubing on them. Based on my research these 4 wires will be blue, yellow/red, white/purple, and white in color. The blue wire goes to the blue brake output wire on the P3, the yellow/red wire is for 12V power and goes...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Ranger Towing a Pop Up Camper
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. If your loaded tongue weight is...

  • Craftec Hatch-Style Tonneau Cover Recommendation for a 2001 Ford Ranger with Step Side Bed
  • You are correct, the Craftec Hatch-Style Tonneau Cover # 153923 that you referenced would be the correct tonneau cover for your 2001 Ford Ranger with a step side, and yes, you will need to trim the rail covers. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.

  • Recommended Hitch for 1999 Ford Ranger XLT Supercab
  • There are several available hitches for your 1999 Ford Ranger. I would not recommend the 1-1/4" Class II Curt hitch, which leaves three other available options. There are two different Curt Class III hitches, the # 13019 as well as the Curt Round Tube # 13138 hitch. The third option is the Draw-Tite # 75082 Max Frame Receiver Hitch. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75082 over the others. The hitch is less visible with a concealed cross tube which gives it a better look when installed on your...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Ford Ranger with Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • You'll need the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2679 which is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Ford Ranger and will work great with your Blue Ox tow bar like part # BX7420. This will also work great with your Brake Buddy like part # HM39530. You will need a lighting solution as well like with the # RM-152-98146-7 which allows your tow vehicle to control the Ranger taillights when you are travelling. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Reese Steadi-Flex vs Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Hitch For 4500 lb Travel Trailer
  • Good choices, and while both the Steadi-Flex and Blue Ox TrackPro will work for your installation measurements, between the two, I would definitely go with the TrackPro: - Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU36FR What the TrackPro # BLU36FR has over the Steadi-Flex # RP66558 is definitely ease of initial install. You asked about install and hookup, and while the hookup is the same for both (using the included lift tool), the TrackPro comes with a 2 inch hitch ball...

  • Recommended Carpeted Truck Bed Mat for 2010 Ford Ranger 6 Foot Bed With Plastic Liner
  • As long as your 6 foot bed isn't a stepside, I recommend the Access Custom Truck Bed Mat - Snap-In Bed Floor Cover - Marine Grade # A25010109. As you stated the installation over a plastic liner maybe isn't as ideal as a bare bed, but it is compatible and will give you what you are seeking.
