  • Recommended Air Bags and Compressor for a 2017 Ford F-350
  • For your 2017 Ford F-350, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F95FV. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep the rear end of your F-350 from sagging when you are towing your 5th wheel trailer. All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation. This system is compatible with in bed hitches and only fits the 4WD models. I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design...

  • Weight Distribution Set Up For A 2014 Ford F-150 Pulling A Trailer With A 5000 LB Dry Weight
  • Since your Ford F-150 has an 11,300 lb max towing capacity with braking and sway control built into the factory tow package you don't necessarily need weight distribution. Weight distribution transfers weight from the tongue of the trailer back to the axles to bring the rear of your truck back up to normal ride height. Keep in mind if you are pulling a 5000 lb trailer, as you add weight it could potentially lower the back end of your truck. When this happens the front of your vehicle raises....

  • Air Bag Kit and Wireless Compressor Kit for 2020 Ford F-250 with 6 inch Lift
  • The best value air bag kit that fits your 2016 Ford F-250 is the part # F2597. Then since you have a 6 inch lift you'd want the lift spacers # F2375. For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # F96VV will work great to make inflating the bags and maintaining them easier. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow you to monitor and inflate them from inside the vehicle.

  • Underbed Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed
  • The Reese underbed rail kit part # RP87FR that you referenced does not fit the 2019 Ford F-250 short bed that you have but we do have underbed rail kits and hitches that will fit your truck. The best option is the B and W Companion slider part # BWRVK3400 as these are widely considered to be the best as they are very quiet and well made. To install it in your truck you'd just need the rail kit part # BWGNRK1116 and you'd be set.

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2003 Ford F-150
  • The STX mirrors your truck have are different from the typical mirrors on the 2003 Ford F-150 so the standard custom fit mirrors for your truck won't fit. So you'd need to use a universal style of mirror like the K-Source # KS69ZR which will fit great and are very secure.

  • Troubleshooting Left Turn Signal on Boat Not Working All the Time When Towing with 2007 Ford Escape
  • If your left turn signal on your boat trailer works intermittently when towing with your 2007 Ford Escape then you'll want to check your connections where your wiring, like the T-One # 118426, tees in as well as any grounds that harness may have. Make sure the connectors are clean and solid and that your ground is connected to a clean, bare-metal surface.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Ford F150
  • The answer to your question is going to depend on how much free real estate you have on the front of the radiator right behind the truck's grille, which is the place where you'll want to install it. Unless you live where it gets and stays below 0°F for most of the winter, you really can't overcool a transmission, so you could go as big as the available space allows (more on that later). If you have 11 x 12 inches of space available, I'd recommend the # D13504 . You'll also need some transmission...

  • Rhino Rack RR32132 Sun Seeker Awning Compatibility with Rhino Rack Heavy Duty Crossbars
  • It will be compatible, as the Rhino Rack # RR32132 awning is compatible with Rhino Rack crossbars that have the slots in the top of the crossbars. Since the crossbars used by the Rhino Rack heavy duty roof rack you asked about, part # RLZ01-DC has the slots in them, the awning and crossbars will work together perfectly without need of an adapter. I've linked you to a demonstration video for the awning and an install video for the roof rack.

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2017 Ford Explorer with Factory Tow Package
  • As long as your 2017 Explorer has the factory 7-way trailer connector, you can install a brake controller using a plug and play harness. The Explorer wasn't equipped with a factory brake controller. The Tekonsha Primus # TK90160 you'd looked at would be an excellent choice. This proportional controller will provide safe, effective and predictable braking. You'll also need the # 3035-P wiring harness which plugs into the factory connector located above the emergency brake pedal and behind...

  • Fit of TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau Cover and Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack On 2020 Ford F150
  • Because the mounting rails for the Truxedo Sentry CT # TX1597701 Tonneau Cover sit inboard of the bed sides leaving the tops of the bed sides free, it would indeed be compatible with the Thule TracRac SR ladder rack, part # TH43002XT-508. I've linked to a product demonstration video for both the ladder rack and the tonneau cover.

  • Do Curt and Draw-Tite Hitches for 2017 Ford Explorer Use Door in Bumper Fascia Like Factory Hitch
  • None of the hitches we offer for the 2017 Ford Explorer would install so that the receiver tube extends through the bumper like the factory hitch would. The hitches offered by our suppliers would install so that the receiver tube would sit directly under the bumper, like the Curt # C13386 shown in the provided photo. Once the hitch is installed, it wouldn't interfere with the door in the bumper face. An aftermarket hitch like the Curt # C13386 is typically much less expensive and the install...

  • How to Tow 5th Wheel Trailer With Recessed Gooseneck Hitch
  • The only potential option, since the top of your gooseneck ball is 2-1/4" to the top of the truck bed, which is more than the 13/16" allowed by the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046, is to use an adapter that bolts to your king pin. The option for this is the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G. This requires a measurement from the top of gooseneck ball to the base of the king pin box to be between 12"...

  • 2019 F150 Trailer Brake Controller Wire Size
  • I'm not entirely sure a relay is used on that circuit, but it would provide a good explanation for the smaller wire gauge used on the factory pigtail. There's really no need to hardwire the controller. If the small wire gauge concerns you, there's an aftermarket one available, part # 22292. The black power wire and the blue brake output wire are both 12 gauge and the red stop lamp switch wire and the ground wire are both 16 gauge. This harness is designed for use with Tekonsha brake controllers,...
