Expert Answers about Ford F-350 Super Duty


  • Which is Actually Better? a Proportional or Time-Delayed Trailer Brake Controller
  • Proportional brake controllers like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 are by far the better choice over time delayed. Proportional controllers use internal sensors to determine how hard your trailer brakes should be applied based on how hard they sense you are applying the vehicles brakes. A time-delayed controller applies a set amount of braking force that ramps up over a set amount of time and then stays at that force till the brakes are released. If you think about how often you apply the...

  • Ultra Fab Lock Wheel Stabilizer or Wheel Chock Recommendation
  • If you are looking for a way to reduce the front to back movement of an RV when parked stabilizers like the Ultra-Fab Chock and Lock Wheel Stabilizers # UF21-001070 would be your best option. If you are looking for a brake to prevent a trailer from rolling down a hill when unhitched a wheel chock like part # 337WC1467A would be better.

  • Comparing the Furrion RV Observation Camera System Part # FOS43TASF and Part # FOS05TASF
  • The camera included with the Furrion RV Observation Camera System part # FOS43TASF is the same as the camera induced with the Furrion RV Observation Camera System part # FOS05TASF. The only difference is that part # FOS43TASF has a 4.3" monitor and part # FOS05TASF has a 5" monitor. They will both work on your 2018 Jayco Eagle HT 29.5BHOK. The 5" system will allow you to add up to 3 additional cameras. I have attached a review video for you as well.

  • Recommended B&W Companion For A 2022 Ford F-350 With A Long Bed And Factory Pucks
  • If you are trying to decide between the 20k # BWRVK3300 and 25k # BWRVK3305 B&W Companion hitches, I recommend going with the 25k option. Yes, this is the more expensive option, but due to your truck having such a high 5th wheel towing capacity, I believe this will suit your truck better. Even if your 5th wheel isn't near this capacity, it does give you the option to upgrade down the road if you ever feel the need to do so and will absolutely handle trailers with a lighter weight.

  • Should I Get Loadlifter 5000 Or 7500 For Towing A 15K Fifth Wheel
  • Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the 7500 kits are used on vehicles that have a constant heavy load in the bed like a salt spreader or truck bed camper. For your 2012 Ford F-350 I recommend the Air lift Loadlifter 5000 Ultimate # AL88396. I prefer the ultimate kit because the air...

  • What is the Difference Between the B&W Companion 20K and 25K 5th Wheel Hitches Aside from Capacity
  • The B&W Companion 20k # BWRVK3300 and 25k # BWRVK3305 base and head are going to differ in their components and construction, which results in the 25k hitch being about 10-lbs total heavier than the 20k hitch; so the 25k hitch head and base is a little bit "beefier" than the 20k version. Typically the components that are upgraded for the higher capacity is slightly thicker steel, heavier duty bushings and other small components that add a bit of capacity to the setup. In spite of the component...

  • Is There a Difference Between RP87FR and RP39FR for 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty
  • The two parts you mentioned are both the same Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit that fit your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty, giving you the ability to pull a gooseneck trailer with a gooseneck ball or use a 5th wheel hitch in the puck system. The only difference is that we have one listed as a 5th wheel install kit and the other as a gooseneck hitch, but the # RP39FR and RP87FR are the exact same, the Reese Elite Series Underbed Kit. So you can just get the less expensive...

  • Comparing Front Mount Hitch Options for a 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty
  • The difference is that the receiver on the Curt Front Hitch # C31078 will sit below the bumper on your F-350 while the receiver on the EcoHitch # 306-X7904 will actually sit in the same location as your front license plate and comes with a plate that can move out of the way when you need to utilize the front hitch. I really like the EcoHitch simply because it hides behind the license plate for a clean, OEM look on your truck. Attached is an installation video of the EcoHitch on a 2021...

  • Between the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300 and the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140, I recommend the: -B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300.

  • Comparing Tuson DirecLink Network Enhanced With Other Proportional Brake Controllers
  • The only advantage the Tuson DirecLink Network Enhanced Trailer Brake Controller would have over other proportional controllers is the ability to work with up to 4 axles or if you were using the ActuLink EOH actuator or Tuson ActuLink ABS. Unless that applies to you, you're better off using a different brake controller. For your 2004 Ford F-350 I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR. This is a high quality brake controller, and far more economical when compared...

  • Comparing Demco Hijacker Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitches for 2019 Ford F-350 With OEM Pucks
  • Aside from the weight rating there is really only one very slight difference; the 21K Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550038 has a diamond tread pattern on the base while the 18K Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550024 does not have this pattern. That diamond tread pattern is only for aesthetics and does not affect the hitch in any way. You are not alone in loving the Hijacker as it is one of the best and most popular fifth wheel hitches we sell for a reason....

  • Comparing the Timbren SES Part TFR350SDJ and Part TFR250SDJ for a Ford F-250/F-250
  • The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR350SDJ is correct for your 2017 Ford F-350 whereas the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR250SDJ is for a 2017-2019 Ford F-250. The brackets on both of these systems are the same so you can use one on the other but the F-250 kit has a 4-1/2" tall spring whereas the F-350 kit has a 5-3/16" tall spring. Therefore, the F-250 kit will not engage as soon as the F-350 kit when used on a F-350. The later engagement will equate to...

  • Comparing Firestone Ride-Rite vs Red Label Air Bags For a 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty Dually
  • The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F95FV are built with commercial grade components that allow for them to achieve the higher weight capacity(7,500lbs) through a higher air pressure capacity(150psi). The rubber and cord gives the bags additional strength. Higher strength steel is used on the brackets and mounting hardware as well to account for the additional capacity. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2600 are only rated for an air pressure...

  • Comparing Air Lift and Firestone Rear Air Bags for 2015 Ford F-350
  • If you are between the Air Lift and the Firestone rear air bags for your 2015 Ford F-350, I recommend going with the Firestones over the Air Lifts. This is because the Firestone air bags are a bit more durable because they use a crimp-rolled designed as opposed to band clamps. For this reason, I recommend the Firestone Ride Rite # F2597. Not only is this model compatible with both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models, it comes with all hardware required for a drill-free installation. The...
