  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2001 Ford Excursion
  • Generally speaking, you'll want to choose the largest cooler that will fit in the available space right behind the vehicle grille. For an Excursion, there won't be any problem with available space. The only caution about going with too large of a cooler is that it could lengthen the amount of time it takes for the vehicle to warm up in a cold climate. The Derale # D13504 would be an very good choice. It's 11 x 12 inch size would provide plenty of supplemental cooling to protect your transmission....

  • Best Sway Control System for 2003 Ford Excursion Towing Open Range Roamer Travel Trailer
  • When it comes to towing the Open Range Roamer Travel Trailer with your 2003 Ford Excursion, I agree, the Firestone Ride-Rite airbags that are currently on your vehicle should be able to handle the added weight of trailer and allow the vehicle to ride level. Adding sway control to your towing setup is a great idea. Take a look at the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit, # 83660.

  • Does the Yakima MegaWarrior Fit on a 2005 Ford Excursion
  • The Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket, part # Y07080-82, is designed to fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. If your 2005 Ford Excursion has crossbars, this will almost definitely fit. To be sure it will fit your length, measure from the center of one crossbar to the other. This basket will fit a crossbar spread from 36" to 60". If you do not have crossbars, then I recommend the Inno Aero Crossbars, part # INXB130-2. They're aero-style crossbars...

  • Which Airbag Suspension Kit Do I Need For My 2002 Ford Excursion With 6" Lift?
  • For your 2002 Ford Excursion I recommend going with Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57132 for the rear. If you happen to have a snow plow or some other heavy item on the front, then you can also get the front setup as well Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Front Axle # AL57154. You likely will only need the rear kit if you are just trying to reduce rear-end sag and improve handling when weight is added to the back. If you have a true 6" lift, then...

  • Will the REDARC Tow-Pro Elite and Hayes Sway Master Work Together
  • I have another option for you but the Hayes Sway Master Electronic Sway Control System part HA81775 you were looking at has been discontinued. Instead I recommend the Sway Command Electronic Sway Control System for Electric Trailer Brakes - 1 to 2 Axles # LC380605 which will work perfectly with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR. Both are great products and will serve you well. I have linked video on both for you to check out if you haven't already.

  • Base Plate Kit that Can be Used to Flat Tow 2000 Ford Excursion with Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • The Demco Classic base plate kit part # DM9517109 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2000 Ford Excursion.

  • Your dual air leveling kit will be very similar to the Firestone Air Command II # F2178.

  • Electric Trailer Brakes Not Working on 2002 Ford Excursion but Work w/2003 Ram with Same Controller
  • It is possible that on your 2002 Ford Excursion the output wire (blue on the controller) is not connected to the trailer connector at the back. You can test this by testing the 7-Way pin in the 5 o'clock position with a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter while someone sits in the vehicle and fully applies the manual override. If no power shows on that brake output pin, then the likely cause is that the connection is not complete from the controller to trailer connector. This could...
