Expert Answers about Ford Transit Connect


  • How Can I Carry A Canoe On My 2021 Ford Transit Connect
  • The Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs - Rear Loading - Clamp On, part # MPG113MD, carries kayaks by cradling the hull. Canoes should be carried upside down. Kayak carriers are not designed to conform to the shape of a canoe, so you could damage the hull. The safest way to transport a canoe is on its gunwales. The Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Gunwale Brackets - Side Loading - Clamp On, part # MPG112MD, is a good option for carrying a canoe....

  • Recommended Tire Chains For a 2014 Ford Transit Connect With 215/55R16 Tires
  • I recommend selecting the Konig Easy Fit Tire Chains # TH04115095 for your 2014 Ford Transit Connect. These chains meet all the restrictions given by Ford in your owners manual. They also are some of the easiest tire chains to install and use when it is cold out. The unique design allows you to quickly place them on the tires and the storage bag provides you with a dry place to kneel while you are installing them

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Hitch-Mounted Bike Carrier For 2016 Ford Transit Connect
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch you came from is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I recommend going with a Class lll hitch like part # C13167 on your 2016 Transit Connect. The # C13167 will give you much more flexibility when choosing any accessories for the hitch. The Swagman hitch mounted bike rack I prefer is the Swagman Chinook, part # S64683. This bike rack has a 2-bike capacity and a weight capacity of 45-lbs per bike. A nice feature is it allows you to tilt the...

  • Is There a 1-1/4 inch Hitch Available for a 2014 Ford Transit Connect
  • For your 2014 Ford Transit Connect there is a Curt Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch available for your vehicle. For that you would want the part # C12123. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.

  • Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 2015 Ford Transit Connect
  • When it comes to a roof rack for your 2015 Ford Transit Connect, as long as it is equipped with factory installed rails that run front to back you can use the Thule Roof Rack, # TH712400 for crossbars, # TH710601 for the legs, and # TH186032 for the fit kit. This is compatible with the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs, # Y04069.

  • Recommendation for Tent to Connect to Back of 2019 Ford Transit Connect
  • We certainly do! For your 2019 Ford Transit Connect the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907 will work great. Its alligator clamping sleeve will securely attach around the rear of the vehicle and allow you to use that roomy cargo area on your Transit Connect as additional living space while camping. The rain fly cover can also extend over the windows to help block any rain from entering. I have attached a short video demonstration on this tent that you can also check out.

  • Mounting Tool Box and Changing to Larger Tires on Lees-ure Lite Camper
  • You could potentially mount a trailer tongue toolbox like the White Buyers Products # 3371701679 to a pole tongue like what's on your Lees-ure Lite Camper but it's going to require some custom/fabricated brackets. You would need to first come up with a plate wide enough to support the toolbox base and then either bolt or weld it to the tongue. Honestly your best option to create some more cargo space for tools or other items would be to mount a small chest or even a cargo bag like the...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2012 Ford Transit Connect with Wheelchair Lift
  • My first question is where is the wheelchair lift mounted? Because it could use the same mounting area/locations as a trailer hitch would. It might be a moot point though because with a trailer hitch installed, such as # 75678, the receiver will be directly below the rear fascia, with the cross tube also taking up some space in that general area, and that would interfere with the lift. Take a look at the diagram that shows what I mean. What I recommend is to install a roof rack on top...

  • Roof Rack, Bike Rack, and Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2015 Ford Transit Connect
  • You can add a roof rack to your 2015 Ford Transit Connect. If your van does not have the factory side rails then I recommend a Rhino-Rack roof rack using the following parts: Vortex bars # RRVA137B-2 Feet # RRRLKVA Fit kit # DK417 If you prefer the heavy duty rectangular bars then you would need bars # RB1375, legs # RRRLKHD, and fit kit # DK417. For any roof rack check the vehicle owner's manual or with Ford to determine the capacity of the van roof and go by whichever is lower. For...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in a 2016 Ford Transit
  • To install a brake controller in your 2016 Ford Transit Connect tou will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56218. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy...

  • Recommended 4-way and 7-way Trailer Connector For 2011 Ford Transit Connect
  • If you have no trailer connector on your 2011 Transit Connect, the first thing you will need is a 4-way connector. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118585. This plugs into the vehicle wiring located behind the tail lights. You just plug this harness into the tail light wiring, then run the hot lead wire to the positive battery cable. Then to install a 7-way and 4-way trailer connector you will need part # ETBC7. This plugs into the 4-way connector. If you are installing...

  • Does Power Wire For Trailer Wiring on 2016 Ford Transit Connect Require Running to Battery
  • Not all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Those vehicles need setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and others need to have the power drawn straight from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For your 2016 Ford Transit Connect you need to install a harness that draws power from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For that you...

  • Anchor Strap for Roof Rack that Shuts in Hood
  • We have something similar to that with the hood anchor straps from Malone part # MPG308 which you'd shut in the hood and gives you a nylon loop to attach to. You could also look at the Thule Hood Loops # TH529 that attach to a bolt under the hood and stay there when not in use. I have attached videos of both products for you to check out.

I recommend the Thule Roof Rack System which uses 53" crossbars # TH711400, legs # TH460R, and fit kit # THKIT3032. This kit is confirmed to fit the long and short wheel base version of you van, and gives you a 165lb capacity though you'll want to confirm the max capacity of your van's roof and use the lowest rating...
