  • 5th Wheel Rails Needed to Use a Curt Sliding Hitch on a 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed
  • The exact part that you need to use your Curt sliding 5th wheel hitch, like part # C16541, in the short bed of your 2019 Ford F-250 depends on if you have the OEM prep package or not. If you do have the OEM prep package then you simply need the Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 which drops into your puck system. If you don't have the OEM prep package you need a base rail kit like part # RP50074-58 which doesn't require drilling for the install. Both of these options give you...

  • Cushioned Equalizer with Bolts and Shackle Straps for 2018 Diamond Cargo Enclosed Trailer
  • For the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688, the manufacturer lists the Lippert Components Tandem Axle Equa-Flex AP Kit - Wet Bolts - 3-1/8" Long Shackles # LC64FR as a related kit and that would be my recommendation. This is a great option, but you can alternatively use regular bolts like # TRFA73Z916DLNZ or wet bolts # 126B2 which will work better than the regular bolts. Then use regular shackle straps # TRSL313.

  • Taillight Converter For Towing Trailer with Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lamps
  • Your truck uses what we refer to as a combined taillight system which uses a single bulb for the turn signal and brake lamp. In order to separate out the turn signals, you'd need a vehicle to vehicle taillight converter like part # 118158. I'd recommend installing the converter inline on the taillight circuits on the trailer. I've linked to a product description video that helps explain how the converter works.

  • Adarac Aluminum Series Ladder Rack for 2017 Ford F-150 w/ 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  • The Adarac # A4001221 Aluminum Series Ladder Rack you'd looked at is indeed a fit for a 2017 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2 foot bed. Because the rack attaches to the truck via the front and rear-most stake pocket, you wouldn't be able to cut it down to work on the 5-1/2 foot bed on your truck. The good news is that Adarac makes the same rack that's compatible with the 5-1/2 foot bed as part # A4001234. If you click the provided link, you can see a typical install video for the Adarac Aluminum...

  • Can I Use a Demco Recon with a Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
  • Yes. There will be a large amount of torque in this case since Sidewinder pin boxes (or your Lippert Turning Point) pivot and twist in a different way from standard pin boxes they require fifth wheel hitches to be attached to the truck in four points around the perimeter of the hitch. That's why you typically can't use a Sidewinder with a Demco Recon # DM8550045 since it connects to the truck via a gooseneck ball only. As far as compatibility specifically with the Lippert Turning Point...

  • Which Gooseneck Hitch For a 2017 Ford F-350 Without the Factory Prep Package
  • The OEM "prep" package just refers to already having 4 puck style mounting points and a gooseneck hitch already installed in your truck, so if you don't already have one then you will want to select the choice for a 2017 Ford F-350 without the OEM Prep package. The best available gooseneck hitch for your 2017 Ford F-350 with the single rear wheel is the B&W # BWGNRK1116, which is renowned for their durability and quality. This hitch will install without any drilling required since it...

  • 4-Pole Flat Wiring Harness for 2018 Ford Transit T250 For Use with Lighted Hitch Cargo Carrier
  • I recommend the Curt T-Connector 4-Pole Flat Wiring Kit # C56327 for your 2018 Ford Transit T250 because we have found their wiring products to be very reliable. This harness installs by plugging in at the T250's tail light housings and by running one wire up to the engine compartment for a power connection at the battery. The plugs on the harness simply get sandwiched in between the light and the OEM wiring, as shown in the linked diagram. I have linked a video and a helpful article to...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Fit for 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid
  • As long as your Escape Titanium Hybrid isn't a PHEV model, we do have a hitch fit and a trailer wiring harness for you. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C23FR. For a wiring harness fit, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # TE54FR. For a ball mount, use # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 40038 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Helper Spring Option for 2019 Ford Expedition
  • Because your Expedition has a coil spring rear suspension, there isn't an air helper spring system available but we do have a helper spring option for your vehicle, though. I'd recommend the Coil Sumo Springs, part # CSS-1168R which is the only option we offer for the 2019 Expedition. The Coil Sumo springs install between the coils of the spring, providing additional support which reduces rear-end sag when towing. It will also reduce body roll in turns

  • Carrying a Mountain Bike with a 15-mm Thru-Axle Using a Swagman Truck Bed Carrier
  • The Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted Bike Carrier # S64702 does only include 9-mm skewers. You can add the Swagman Spire # S64706 which will adapt the 15-mm thru-axle fork on your bike to fit the pickup carrier. The Spire isn't quite as convenient as using the Swagman Patrol # S64701 but it is more economical.

  • Parts Needed to Install Electric Brake Controller in a 2001 Ford F-150 with Factory 7-Way Connector
  • Since your 2001 Ford F-150 has a factory 7-way trailer connector it's already wired for an electric brake controller to be installed. There's a connector under the dash that the controller will plug directly into with a vehicle specific adapter. The connector is located right behind the diagnostic port in your truck. The picture I've attached shows the connector. I recommend using the Prodigy P3 # 90195 for the brake controller. It's the top of the line with an LCD and 5 storable settings....

  • Additional Parts Needed for Redarc Tow Pro Elite Installation on a 2000 Ford F250
  • Good news! First, the RedArc Tow Pro Elite # 331-EBRH-ACCV2 is an awesome choice; I also checked your order and since you ordered this from the fit guided page for your vehicle, it comes with the # 3035-S wiring adapter for electronic brake controllers that you'll need to install it directly into your 2000 Ford F-250. That would be the only additional wiring required for this installation.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring for 2020 Ford Explorer without Factory Towing Package
  • The Curt # CU78FR is the correct hitch for your 2020 Ford Explorer and the powder coating on Curt hitches is a bit thicker, so it's going to help protect the hitch from scratches better than other hitches. For wiring, the Curt # C55384 is designed for Ford Explorers with the factory towing package, so it's likely that this 2020 Explorer doesn't have this towing package. Instead of the # C55384 you'll want to use the # C56093 which comes with all of the fuses and parts needed to install...
