  • Is There a Sleeve For my 2-1/2 inch Ford F350 Super Duty Hitch So I can Use 2 Inch Accesorries
  • 2-1/2 inch hitch opening are used on hitches that are Class V, and are designed to haul large heavy trailers. In order to reduce your hitch down to a 2 inch diameter opening on your new Ford F-350 Super Duty you would need to purchase a Curt Reducer Sleeve 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch, part # C45405. You should take note that Ford OEM hitches have a tighter/different radius on their 2-1/2 inch receiver tubes. To accommodate the OEM Ford 2-1/2 inch hitch, the corners of a ball mount, shank or...

  • How to Have 7-Way Connectors at the Rear Bumper and in Bed for a 1996 Ford F-350
  • If you have a fully functioning 7-Way in the bed of your 1995 Ford F-350 then you should be able to simply use a tee connector like the Curt # C56000 to tee into the US Car Connector behind the 7-Way for your gooseneck. You can use the attached picture and a circuit tester # PTW2993 to make sure you have all of the functions. You will need to use the manual override from your brake controller to make sure that the brake controller is sending power back to the 7-Way. It is possible that...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 1994 Ford F-350 Crew Cab 7.3 Liter Diesel
  • As long as the 1994 Ford F-350 came with a factory trailer connector (4-Way or 7-way are the most common) you can use the Tekonsha Wire Replacement, # 3035-P. This harness fits your truck and the Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller, # TK90160. I have included links to the installation details for both parts for you. If the truck did not come with a factory installed trailer wiring connector of any kind, you would need to hardware the brake controller. For that you would first have to install...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1994 Ford F-250
  • When measuring the frame width on a vehicle, you will need to measure from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other frame rail. It sound like you have the 37-1/4 inch frame on your 1994 Ford F-250. Usually, you see the more narrow frame on cab and chassis models. The CURT Trailer Hitch, # C15300, does not fit vehicles with a 34 inch frame but will fit the 37-1/4 inch frame. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

  • Recommended Underbed Gooseneck Hitch and 5th Wheel Hitch For 1994 Ford F-250/350
  • I have another option for you that has great reviews and is similar to the hitch you mentioned, but we do not currently carry Putnam products. I recommend taking a look at the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch W/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1110 if your 1994 Ford F-250/350 has overload springs, or # BWGNRK1100 if your truck does NOT have overload springs. The B&W Turnoverball offers a 30000lb gross towing weight limit, 7500lb vertical load limit, and has a limited lifetime...

  • Recommended Running Boards for a 1995 Ford F-250 Supercab
  • I have a set of running boards and an installation kit that will fit your 1995 F-250 Supercab but I checked with DeeZee and the item # DZ15300A do not fit your truck or any Fords before 1999. Instead you will want the Westin Signature Series Round Nerf Bars item # 25-0625. These are the only comparable option we have available for the Supercab models of the 1995 F-250. These nerf bars include a custom mounting kit that does not require drilling to install. The running boards are installed...

  • Could Fifth Wheel Trailer with Non Extended Pin Box be Towed with Turning Clearance
  • In order to determine that you'd also need to factor in the width of the nose of your trailer. If it happens to be a trailer with a lot of taper to the nose then you might be able to get away with a fixed hitch instead of a slider but most likely you would need a slider hitch like the Curt A20 slider part # C16541. If your trailer has a tapered nose I recommend using the below formula to check your clearance: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center of fifth wheel hitch jaw to...

  • Troubleshooting Hopkins Agility Brake Controller That Won't Engage Brakes on 1996 Ford F--350
  • In order to determine what is going on with your Hopkins Agility Brake Controller # HM47295, when you say it's lighting up, if you're not actually seeing the small red dot in the lower right hand corner of the unit that would indicate that there is an issue with the trailer hookup. If you're not seeing that dot, I would recommend cleaning off the 7 way connector on both your truck and the trailer and making sure it is free from dirt, debris and corrosion. If you're seeing the small red...

  • Installing 7-Way Trailer connector on 1992 Ford Pickup
  • I think I understand your confusion. The taillight system of your 92 Ford pickup uses what's referred to as a combined taillight system, which means that the right turn and brake light signal is combined and carried on one circuit and the left turn/brake light signal is combined and carried on another circuit. So, if you're looking at the front of the 7-way blade style plug, the 12-volt power feeds the pin in the 1:00 position, right turn/brake feeds the pin in the 3:00 position, brake...

  • Recommended Plug-In Trailer Wiring Harness For 1993 Jeep Wrangler YJ
  • We do have a plug-in wiring harness that is designed to fit your 1993 YJ. I recommend the T-One wiring harness # 118356.

  • The Erickson Heavy-Duty Anchors # EM01003 are universal fit items and designed to fit most Chevy, GMC, Dodge, Ford and Toyota pickups.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution and Sway Control for a 2011 Ford F-250 Towing a Keystone Trailer
  • Yes, you could certainly add a weight distribution system and sway control to improve your towing performance, but the systems we offer for 2-1/2 inch trailer hitches are going to be a bit too heavy duty for your particular trailer. The 2-1/2 hitch systems would be compatible for tongue weights up to 1700lbs, but your trailer, even with a maximum load, should only have around 975 or 1000lbs of tongue weight. In this case, I would typically recommend a system rated for tongue weights up...

  • Will State of Texas Chrome Emblem Hitch Cover, # AMGSTTXC, Fit a Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • If your Ford F-250 Super Duty has a 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receiver opening then the State of Texas Chrome Emblem Hitch Cover, # AMGSTTXC, will fit. All you will need is a hitch pin to secure it in place. I recommend a locking hitch pin like Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98880, to deter theft of the hitch cover. Most F-250 pickups come with a 2 inch hitch, but some might have a 2-1/2 inch receiver opening. If you measure and find that you have a 2-1/2 inch opening, you can use...
