I have linked a video below to an installation that we did on a 2004 Ford Explorer. This should help you to be able to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR and Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED87FR on your 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
To complete the installation you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 for the correct wiring and connectors. This will allow you to convert the 4-way flat on your Explorer to the 7-blade... view full answer...
This sounds like a short circuit at the trailer connector. Check the vehicle and trailer side connectors for dirt and corrosion inside of the connectors and on the backs were the wires connect. Make sure they are good and clean before reconnecting them.
There could also be an issue with the red wire on the brake controller. If the controller was hardwired make sure the red wire is attached to the wire on the brake switch that shows a signal only when the brake pedal is pressed. view full answer...
You can do two things to help reduce travel trailer sway.
First, you can try loading your gear in the camper further forward. This will increase tongue weight and reduce the tendency for the camper's rear end to sway. The more of the trailer's weight that is forward of the axle the less likely it is that the rear end will start its own travel plans!
Another step you can take is to install a friction sway control unit like the ProSeries # 83660. This unit can mount on either side of your... view full answer...
If your cover is no longer in the warranty period then you can repair it. I spoke with my contact at Classic Accessories and they recommend a product called Tear-Aid which you can find online by searching for it. It may also be available locally. This product works well with the Classic Accessories covers. view full answer...
It can certainly be overwhelming with all of the options. I'm happy to help you find the parts you need. It sounds like you don't have brakes on your trailer so you want all of the parts to add them to the trailer as well as the parts needed for your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
If you meant you already have brakes on the trailer when you said you have the left and right electric drum assembly you can ignore the information after the brake controller. I wasn't sure if that meant you... view full answer...
If you have rusted running boards, one labor-intensive option is to remove the bars and sand them until the rust comes off then polish the steel. However, it is still possible that the rust will return. It is especially difficult to stop rusting after it begins. If your brackets are rusted through, you will need to replace the brackets. If you have the make and model of your running boards, I would happy to assist you in finding replacements if you provide that information.

We don't offer a custom slip-on mirror option for your vehicle, but we do have a good universal fit option that would work very well for you.
Take a look at the K-Source # KS3990 clip on towing mirror. These mirrors offer a dual lens that provides a wider field of vision than a single pane mirror. The mirrors feature a unique ratcheting type strap that gives a snug and secure fit for minimal vibration.

Since your 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac has a 4-Way wiring harness already, you will need to start by adding an Adapter, but I recommend using a 4 and 7-Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. Your 4-Way will plug into the back of the adapter and you will need to hardwire the remaining 4 wires.
First, ground the white wire to the vehicle frame. Next, for the purple wire, if the trailer does not have reverse lights this wire is not needed and you can tape it up and stow it out of the way. Otherwise,... view full answer...
I would be happy to help you. A weight distribution hitch is only going to be affected by the tongue weight of your trailer so that is the only number you will want to account for when determining what system you need. Since your 2017 Riverside Retro 177SE has a GVWR of 3,500 lbs and a TW of 420 lbs. I recommend the Reese Straight Line item # RP66072 you referenced. This system has a tongue weight range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs which will be perfect for your trailer. You will also need the... view full answer...
In order to be able to carry bikes between your towed vehicle and the RV you will first need a dual receiver for your trailer hitch.
I recommend the Curt Dual 2 inch Receiver Tube Adapter, part # D-192. the bottom receiver is used for the tow bar and the upper receiver has a 2 inch receiver for the bike carrier.
Bike carriers need to be RV rated because they are built to take on the added stress at the rear of the RV or motorhome. The carrier I recommend is the Swagman Original, part... view full answer...
The rear of the bed of a 2001-2006 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is right at 54-11/16 inches wide, while the rear width of the bed from a 2007-2008 Sport Trac is 50 inches, so the bed of your 2007 model is just over 4-1/2 inches narrower than that of your 2004 model. Most bed extenders are width adjustable, like the Topline # BX4004-01 bed extender you referenced. The # BX4004-01 is width adjustable from 48-62 inches wide. If that's the extender you have, it'll work just fine on your 2007 Sport... view full answer...

The part number you've mentioned with your Truxedo Series 1 tonneau cover is of a discontinued item, but my tech contact over at Truxedo says you've got 1 of 2 potential tonneau covers on your 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. If you've got a decal/sticker on the rear bar above the tailgate that is not sewn into the cover/tarp and black tonneau bars/supports then you've got the Original Truxedo part number- 392601 and will want to use the Replacement Tarp for TruXedo Original Soft Truck Bed... view full answer...
Since we know your truck is a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and your tonneau is a Truxedo the correct replacement tarp is actually the part # TX5926-CVR. view full answer...

It sounds like you're looking for the 6 pin adapter to plug a brake controller into your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. For that, you'll need to use part # 3035-P in most cases. If you can let me know what brake controller you're using I can confirm that this will be the correct part, or find you an alternate one that will work with your specific brake controller. view full answer...
We have had several customers state that the CIPA Towing Mirrors, # CTM2200A, do allow them to see down the sides of their wide trailers. Another customer stated that he was not able to see as much as he wanted to but could see traffic on either side of the trailer so it was still beneficial.
The edge of the mirror is about 5 inches further out than the factory mirror. Because the glass is adjustable you should be able to get a decent view. I have included a link to a video featuring... view full answer...
