Yes the Dexter Predator brake controller part # 58-8 that you referenced does fit your 2019 Ford Explorer by using the install harness part # 3035-S and you'd be set. view full answer...
While I don't know what the dimensions on the Patriot Power Generator 1800, I can tell you that the TorkLift PowerArmor Single Locking Battery Box # TLA7720R is 17-3/4" Long x 8-3/16" Wide x 11-1/4" Tall. If your generator is under that size, this locking battery box will do the job.
I've also attached the link to the rest of our locking trailer battery boxes that fit 12v batteries in case that doesn't work for your generator. You'll find that we've got a pretty good variation of sizes... view full answer...
I'm going to try to present a lot of information here about your vehicle, but to give you the short answer- in this case, your 4wd is actually an AWD system, so you will be able to dinghy tow your 2014 Ford Explorer XLT 3.5L Eco-Boost.
Typically, the difference between an AWD and 4wd vehicle is that the AWD vehicle is constantly providing power to all 4 wheels (both axles are continuously engaged), whereas a 4wd vehicle has a transfer case that can be switched between powering a single... view full answer...
Yes, a 2016 Ford Explorer (4WD) can be flat-towed with all four wheels down so long as it has the 3.5L V6 or 3.5L EcoBoost V6 Engine. That said, there are no modification needed for this unless a specific flat-tow part you are looking at requires this. I have attached some parts for you below as well that you will need.

You should be seeing 12V at the connector for the headlights. I imagine it is not enough power for the tail lights on the trailer. Your problem is somewhere on the vehicle, whether it is the vehicle wiring or the trailer harness.
If the 4-Way is factory installed, start tracing the wire. The wire could have been frayed or nicked or burned and has lost most of the wire core and is no longer able to carry a full 12V.
If you have an aftermarket 4-Way, trace the wire looking for the same... view full answer...
According to the owner's manual for a 2017 Ford Explorer, the tongue weight capacity cannot exceed 15% of your towing capacity. The towing capacity of your Explorer varies from 2,000 to 5,000 lbs (see manual page 240) therefore the tongue weight capacity can be as low as 300 lbs or as high as 750 lbs. The weight of the carrier and motorcycle cannot exceed the tongue weight capacity so it is possible to carry a 400 lb motorcycle, it just depends on what your towing capacity is.

I have a solution for you. The only roof rack system we have available that will work with your 2016 Ford Explorer's bare roof is the Seasucker Monkey Bars - 48" # 298-SX6000B. The height of the Seasucker Monkey Bars is just under 4-1/2 inches from the top of the roof to the top of the crossbars. One great feature is the mounting vacuum cups. The vacuum cups secure tightly to the roof's vehicle and gives your vehicle 150 pounds of maximum carrying capacity. The Monkey Bars has the easiest... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13386 that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Ford Explorer would be more than capable of towing a 5 by 8 foot cargo trailer. This hitch has a 4,000 lb trailer weight rating and a 400 lb tongue weight rating so it would have more than enough capacity.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4... view full answer...
First you will need a Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118599 to connect to your tail lights in your 2022 Ford Explorer. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that will control the tail lights and running lights on your camper.
The 4-way connector will then plug into the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 which will provide you with the additional components you need to connect the charge line and brake controller wiring portions of the 7-way. The... view full answer...
To install a brake controller on your 2002 Ford Explorer, you will need to run wires from the rear of the vehicle to the front.
I would recommend converting your 4-Way plug to a 7-Way, as this is the most common plug style. You can use brake controller installation kit # ETBC7 to do so, as it includes the 4 to 7-Way adapter, and the wiring, connectors, and circuit breakers you will need to complete the brake controller installation.
The 4 to 7-Way adapter would first be plugged into... view full answer...
Though we will not have factory wiring diagrams, I am pretty sure I know what is going on and this should be a quick and easy fix. In the passenger compartment fuse box of your 2001 Ford Explorer, there should be a 15A in position 30. This port will handle the park lamp / trailer tow relay and should be all you need to get everything up and running properly.
However, in the off chance this does not get you power to the running lamps, let me know and we can try a few other things. view full answer...
The Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Trailer Ball Kits are perfectly safe up to their 10K capacity, just as safe as a standard one-piece trailer ball, so you'll have no worries there. This is without a doubt the type of interchangeable ball I'd recommend.
The side pin arrangement that Convert-A-Ball uses works great, and the pin actually features an o-ring on it to keep moisture and debris out. The # 904B kit you'd looked at is nickel plated, and over time the nickel plating can be worn... view full answer...
The Curt Bumper Hitch, # E-3S, which you reference, is a universal fit design and made to attach to a truck step bumper. The mounting holes are 8-1/2 inches center to center between the holes. I have included a photograph with the dimensions of the mounting holes for you to check out.
If your 1998 Ford Explorer has a step bumper and has mounting holes with the 8-1/2 inch dimension then the Curt Bumper Hitch will bolt to your bumper. If you do not have holes that will line up with the hitch... view full answer...
The 4-pole harnesses for your 2014 Ford Explorer that has the 12-pin OEM connector, such as Tow Ready # 118540 and Curt # C56172, do not carry a 12V power feed for a trailer, only the basic stop/turn/tail lighting functions.
However, the 7-way kit # C56306 for vehicles with the factory towing package does include a 12V power feed. This too plugs in behind the passenger side rear tire. Please refer to the linked installation video showing a 2013 Explorer. You might care to add the brackets... view full answer...
As a rule of thumb, if the total weight of your trailer / cargo combined is more than half the weight of the towing vehicle, a weight distribution system is recommended. You may want to wait until you take delivery on the boat and use the information provided in the attached articles to determine the true tongue weight. Based on the figure of 3452 lbs you stated was the package weight, I would suggest a weight distribution system designed to handle 400 lbs tongue weight (TW). I have linked... view full answer...
Yakima, Rhino-Rack, and Thule all make great crossbars for the 2018 Ford Explorer.
However, to recommend just one to you, I suggest going with the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711520. The reason is because they are the longest available for your Explorer. That is important because the Yakima ShowDown, part # Y04081, requires at least 3-1/2" of crossbar space beyond the foot to utilize the lift assist.
To attach the crossbars to your side rails, you will also need the Rapid Podium... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51322 is going to plug into the port on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness and then plug into the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 providing for a plug and play install with no splicing of wires. For most applications, the built-in brake control harness is located beneath the dash, near the center console. view full answer...
