Expert Answers about Ford Transit T150


  • Roof Rack Option for 2015 Ford Transit Full-Sized Van
  • The best rack we have to put solar panels on the roof of your 2015 Ford Transit is the Thule TracRac TracVan, part # TH29610XT. It's technically offered as a ladder rack so the capacity is higher than traditional roof racks. You should still verify the van's roof capacity becuase you'll still be limited by the lowest rating. The rack is custom fit to your van, bolting directly to the factory mounting points on the roof. The bars are aluminum and also coated in powder coat to keep them...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ford Transit T150 Passenger Van
  • For your 2017 Ford Transit T-150, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13193. I checked with Curt and this Class III trailer hitch is confirmed to fit all models of the 2017 T-150, including your passenger van. The hitch will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and a towing capacity of 6,000 pounds. I have attached an installation video you can use for reference along with the written details for you to look through.

  • Availability of Swingaway Kit for Yakima EXO and Does Light Kit Fit
  • For the Yakima EXO kits they offer a swing base with the part # Y34VR that will allow you to swing the rack away from the rear of the vehicle to access the rear door. Since the light kit part # Y74VR attaches to the rear of the rack it would swing away with rack and would work perfectly fine.

  • 2018 Transit T150 Passenger Wagon Tow Package Wiring Harness
  • For your 2018 Ford Transit T150, you will need the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way Trailer Connector # 22114, and then add a brake controller. For your brake controller, I recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195. This will plug right into this harness with no other wiring required. The Prodigy P3 # 90195 is our most popular option for brake controllers due to the proportional braking that applies your trailer brakes at the same time and with...

  • Solution for Stripped Weld Nut When Installing Trailer Hitch
  • If you can access an open end of the frame where the weld nut broke off you could fishwire a new carriage bolt in place of the weldnut. Otherwise you may have to weld the hitch on or see if a local garage like you mentioned could come up with a way to re-weld in a weld nut. For a bolt leader you could then use the # C58400. I attached a link to an install video that at the 1:30 mark shows how to fishwire hitch hardware. You will need to drill out the old weld nut.

  • 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Ford Transit T150 without Tow Package
  • For your 2017 Ford Transit T150 the Tekonsha kit part # 22114 would be all that you need to install a 7-way. Now to replace the 7-way with one that also has a 4-way attached to it you would need the # HM40920 as a replacement for the 7-way connector.

  • Hitch Bike Rack that Can Allow Rear Cargo Area Access
  • Hanging bike racks like the Rhino Rack part # RRRBC045 that you referenced can not tilt with bikes loaded as the frame cradles are not designed to support the weight of the bike in that way plus it would be very heavy to raise or lower. If the goal was to gain access to the rear cargo area of your vehicle you'd need a swing away bike rack like the Sportrack Ridge part # SR2415 which can swing away from the rear of the vehicle with bikes loaded. See video linked.

  • Cargo Mat Recommendation for 2019 Ford Transit T150 Long Wheelbase
  • For your 2019 Ford Transit T150 long wheelbase the cargo mat I recommend is the VanTred Mat # VTFT15L. This is a thermoplastic over foam mat that is custom fit for the floor of your vehicle. The mat is 1/2 inch thick too which will cushion the area and has a slip-resistant finish to help prevent cargo sliding around.

  • Recommended Swinging Cargo Carrier for a 2017 Ford Transit
  • I am glad that you are open to a trailer hitch receiver at the back of your 2017 Ford Transit T150 because unfortunately there aren't any front mount trailer hitch receivers for your vehicle. For a rear mount hitch receiver I recommend going with the etrailer.com # E98842 as it has the highest weight ratings when it comes to trailer hitches for your vehicle that don't require drilling, and the matte black finish will do a better job at hiding scratches than the glossy finish will that other...

  • Availability of Different Lock Cores for Yakima SpaceBooster 11 Cargo Box
  • We do not have any non-Yakima branded SKS lock cores available that are designed to fit your SpaceBooster 11 Cargo Box. With that in mind please note that the "Same Key System" refers to the ability of all the lock cores on your cargo box (along with any other Yakima accessories you may have) to be unlocked with the same key. This does not mean that another Yakima key that a neighbor may have will also open the box. There are still a great number of different Yakima lock cores and keys...

  • What is Max Ski Length of Yakima EXO System with Ski and Snowboard Carrier and Carrier
  • The ski length max of the Yakima EXO System with Ski and Snowboard Carrier and Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y94ZR being 185 cm is based on the width of the vehicle. So if you had a really wide vehicle a longer ski would work.

  • 2016 Ford Transit 150 Tow Mirror Recommendation
  • The one fit restriction that the CIPA door mirrors part # 11650 have is that they won't fit vehicles with plastic body moldings at the bottom of the door. I pulled up pictures of your 2016 Ford Transit 150 and it does have a plastic molding at the bottom of the door so you'd need to go a different route. Based on the unique shape of the fenders and mirrors the only option that I can see that would work is the CIPA Tow Mirror # CM11980 which clips to the lip above the glass of the mirror...

  • Recommended 4-Way Flat Wiring Harness For a 2016 Ford Transit Van T150
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56327 is the 4-way flat trailer connector I recommend using for your 2016 Ford Transit Van T150. This is custom fit for your Transit and will connect to your factory lights using OE style connectors. A Curt Easy Mount Bracket # C58001 will allow you to secure the 4-way to the end of a receiver hitch like the etrailer Receiver # e98842. This will protect your connector from dragging on the ground while still being easily accessible.

  • What is the Difference Between Redarc Battery Isolator # 331-SBI212 and # 331-SBI212D
  • The primary difference between the Redarc Smart Start Battery Isolator # 331-SBI212 and # 331-SBI212D is that the Isolator # 331-SBI212D is actually a dual-sensing battery isolator, which means it can transfer power in either direction when connected in-line with 2 batteries. When connected in this way with 2 batteries, 1 that is charged by your alternator and another that is connected to an outside source, it will transfer power in either direction to keep both batteries charged. The...

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Ford Transit 150

  • Trailer Hitch and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2015 Ford Transit T150
  • If the connector you found looks like the round connector in the picture I attached all you would need to add a 7-way to your vehicle would be the part # HM40975 as this would plug into this connector. Now since you have a 7-way you would just need to wire it up so that your controller would work with it. First let's start with a brake controller. I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2017 Ford Transit T150
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one) on your 2017 Ford Transit T150. For that you would want the # C56327. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195....

  • Rubber Floor Mat Option for 2018 Ford Transit LWB 15 Passenger
  • The best solution for your 2018 Ford Transit LWB that is a 15 passenger van will be the VanTred part # VTFT15L you mentioned and then trimming the mat as needed to fit around the bases of the chairs. This is thermoplastic over foam so it would be a great weatherproof and/or kid-proof option.

  • Recommended Way to Raise Height of Hitch Cargo Carrier
  • One way to raise the Curt cargo carrier part # C18153 would be to use a Curt hitch adapter part # D210. This has a second hitch opening above the ball mount platform which can give you additional height. Unlike other similar adapters it does not end up cutting the capacity of the hitch it is used in by 50% either.
