Expert Answers about Ford F-150, F-250, F-350


  • Choosing a Hitch Pin That Fits 1988 Ford Hitch
  • Your 1988 Ford Hitch # C15300 has a Class V 2" hitch receiver. For a Class III, IV, and V trailer hitches, you will need to use a 5/8 inch diameter pin such as # e98881. If you are using this hitch with accessories and want an anti-rattle hitch lock, then # e99047 is a great option.

  • Replacement Door Lock for 1991 Jamboree Motorhome
  • As long as the door on your 1991 Jamboree is between 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" thick and the cutout is 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall up to 3" wide x 4" tall, you'll have no issues using the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit with Keyed Alike Option - Black # 295-000019. To fill the space in the door, you'll likely just want to use some sort of foam insulation to keep cold air from entering any gaps and into the coach. If your cutout is larger than the above mentioned dimensions, you'll need...

  • Recommended Tire Covers for 235/80r16 Tires
  • The 235/80r16 tires are 30.8 inches in diameter and 9.3 inches wide. I recommend the SnapRing TireSavers Tire Covers - 30" to 32" Diameter - White Vinyl - Qty 2 # ST7002WH for storage covers or the Bestop X-Large Tire Cover, 31" x 11" - Black Denim # B6103115 for a spare tire cover.

  • Class III Hitch Receiver Recommendation for 1987 Ford F-150 with 37-1/4 Inch Frame
  • I do have a Class III hitch that fits your 1987 Ford F-150 with a 37-1/4 inch frame, however, it's not a Curt. Take a look at the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III # 75038. This hitch receiver has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight rating of 500 lbs, which is more in line with the towing capacity of your F-150. It also features a concealed crosstube design, just like the Curt # 14001. That being said, Draw-Tite hitches are not manufactured in the USA. If...

  • Tool Box Recommendation for a 1988 Ford F-250
  • I did a little research on Deflecta-Shield Aluminum Products tool boxes and found that share many of the same features as the boxes we carry. Both boxes feature sturdy aluminum construction, gas cylinders to help lift and hold it open, and stainless steel latches. There are many toolbox options for your truck. I have included a link to the toolbox main page for you. Just select your bed size and style to see the various options.

  • Can I Use HappiJac Brackets With Another Brands Camper Jacks
  • We do not carry the Reico-Titan products so my research was more limited but after doing some research I was able to locate the installation instructions for the Reico-Titan Jacks. They have brackets listed specifically for the "C" clamp mounting style. I have included a picture from the installation instructions that shows how they attach. The Replacement L-Bracket # LC182492 paired with the Replacement Flat Bracket # LC182494 is going to be more comparable to the bracket style used in...

  • Running Boards For a 1991 Ford F-150 Regular Cab Long Bed Truck
  • The DeeZee Brite-Tread Running Boards # DZ2017 are currently the only running boards we offer which fit your 1991 Ford F-150. These are only cab length and we do not have an option that run all the way to the rear wheel and I do not see DeeZee offers any longer options confirmed to fit your cab style.

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement for 1990 Ford F-350 Dually Pickup With In Bed Hitch
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR350SDE are a great option for your 1990 Ford F-350. They will provide additional support when you either have your camper loaded or are using your bed for hauling. I recommend looking into the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88298 as these will allow you to adjust the air pressure in your bags to dial in your load leveling and ride quality. For these to fit properly on your F-350 you will need to have 8" between...

  • Can Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # 9480 be Used with 5th Airborne Pin Box
  • You can use the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # 9480 with a 5th Airborne pin box as long as it is not a Sidewinder 5th Airborne pin box. So if you have # 5AB-E1621-610, which is a regular 5th Airborne pin box, it will work with # 9480. You mentioned a Un-A-Goose hitch which I have not heard of. If it is a Hide-A-Goose hitch then 9480 will work. But if not then the Hi-Rise is not confirmed as a fit for other models.

  • Which Husky Bracket Kit Do I Need to Install Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Bed Rails on 1990 Ford F-350
  • The hardware for a Husky fifth wheel hitch on your 1990 Ford F-350 will depend on the type of rails you have. If you have 4-bolt rails you will need # HT31563. If your rails are 10-bolt then # HT31622 is the kit you need. Both kits include the brackets and mounting hardware for Husky brand base rails. It's not recommended to mix the brands of brackets and rails. If your rails aren't Husky then let me know what brand you have and I'll recommend the appropriate bracket kit. If you also...

  • Door Mounted Towing Mirror Recommendation for Towing Horse Trailer
  • We have towing mirrors that attach to vehicle doors that should work very well for you. Check out the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror # 11650. These can adjust out to 17 inches away from the door so they should provide plenty of viewing angle and also have a high customer review rating from our customers who have tried them so I would feel confident recommending them for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Base Plates and Other Recommended Equipment to Flat Tow 1991 Ford F150 4WD
  • The Roadmaster Falcon has a 6000 lb capacity, so as long as the as-towed weight of your truck is under that, the tow bar should work fine. The base plates you need that would permanently install on the truck will depend on how he truck is equipped. For the F150 4WD, use the # 414-1 base plate kit, which is a fit as long as the vehicle doesn't use front leaf springs. You'll also need a few other items to complete your towing system. For safety cables, I'd recommend part # RM-645. So the...

  • Class V Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1990 Ford F-250
  • For money it's really hard to beat the Curt hitch part # C15300 that you referenced. Curt makes excellent, high quality hitches (like B and W), that are made in America. I wouldn't think twice about saying this is the better option for your 1990 Ford F-250.

  • Recommended Custom Fit 5th Wheel Installation Kit For 1991 Ford F-350 Crew Cab W/ 8' Bed

The # BWGNRK1100-5W is designed to work with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W and can also be used a gooseneck hitch.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 1989 Ford F-150 to Mount a Winch
  • I do have a possible solution for you, but there are currently no custom fit front mount hitch options for your 1989 Ford F-150. You would not want to modify an existing hitch to fit either because that would void the hitch warranty and the modifications could compromise the structural integrity of the hitch. But you could have one custom fabricated. We have numerous hitch raw materials which I have linked for you. You would need a qualified professional to fabricate a hitch for you such...

  • How Many Hours will the Vision X 9004 Halogen Headlight Bulbs # VX-L9004 Last
  • I spoke to my contact at Vision X and he informed me that the Vision X 9004 Halogen Headlight Bulbs # VX-L9004 that you referenced has a lifetime warranty. They would last much longer than 250 hours and even if they were to fail at any point they would get replaced.

  • Class IV Hitch, Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for 1991 Ford F-150
  • The Curt Class IV hitch part # 14001 would be a great option for a Class IV hitch that fits your 1991 Ford F-150 as it has great towing capacities at 10,000 lb total trailer weight. Then for trailer wiring you would need to start with a 4-way that fits your truck like the part # C55316 which you'd then convert to a 7-way with the kit part # ETBC7 which also comes with everything to install a brake controller as well. For a brake controller the Brake EVN # TK63VR would be a great option...

  • Fifth Wheel Frame Brackets for 1985 Ford F-250 that Require No Drilling Into the Frame
  • Although we do not have a custom fifth wheel frame bracket installation kit for your 1985 Ford F-250, I have a few options for you. B&W offers the Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, # BWRVR3200. This kit does require drilling but is compatible with all 5th wheel hitches that use standard above bed rails. Another option would be to install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Install Kit, # BWGNRK1110. This kit requires no drilling to install the frame...
