Expert Answers about Ford F-150


  • Recommended Brake Controller for Motorhome with Air Brakes
  • There will still be a stop light switch signal to splice into on a motorhome with air brakes so you can use any standard electric brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160 which is a great option that has the advanced proportional control, boost settings for more braking power, and it has internal safeguards to protect wiring shorts from damaging the controller. The Tekonsha Primus IQ also comes with a lifetime warranty so it will be the...

  • Weight Distribution Shank to Allow Additional Drop with Reese Weight Distribution System
  • Sounds like you are in need of a weight distribution shank that will provide you with 4 inches of additional drop from what you have. A great solution for that is the Curt weight distribution shank part # C17123 which will give you the amount of drop you are looking for and also fits the head of your Reese system since Curt and Reese both make their shank dimensions to the same size.

  • Can Convert a Ball Fifth Wheel Adapter be Used with Offset Hitch Ball
  • Yes, the Convert a Ball Fifth Wheel Adapter part # CAB-C5G that you referenced can be used with a 4 inch offset gooseneck hitch ball like you mentioned. We also have a version of this adapter that has an offset built into it with the # CAB-C5GX1216. The offset of this is 7-1/2 inches.

  • Correct Lift Spacer Needed for Installing Ride-Rite Airbags on a 2013 f150 with a rough country 6in
  • That looks like a 4 inch lift block on your 2013 Ford F-150. Typically this is the size of block used for "6 inch lifts" which is a very common lift from Rough Country for your 2013 Ford F-150. So to use a Firestone Ride Rite kit part # F2525 you'd need the 4 inch spacer kit part # F2371 and you'd be set. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar F-150 as well.

  • Recommendations to Seal Up Leaking Tonneau Cover
  • Typically when water starts to seep into a truck bed with a tonneau cover installed it's coming in from the cab side or through tiny openings at the tailgate. What you can do to try and prevent this with your cover like the Extang eMAX # EX72780 is use the Extang MaxSeal # EX1140 to create a tight seal at the tailgate. This is a nice adhesive-backed rubber weather strip that's going to keep out rain, snow, and dust from sneaking into the bed through the tailgate and bed side walls. Then...

  • Parts Needed for Flat Towing a 2010 Ford F150 4x4
  • I did some checking and it looks like your 2010 Ford F-150 4x4 can be flat towed but depending on the transmission of the truck determines some of the components needed. If you have a 6 speed transmission you need a lube pump kit or if you have a 4 speed you'd need a driveshaft disconnect. We don't have either of those two products but we can help with the other parts needed. First you'll need a base plate kit like the Roadmaster # RM-524431-4 which is a confirmed fit. In addition to...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for 650 lb Tongue Weight Travel Trailer
  • To select the proper weight distribution system for your travel trailer, you'll need to figure out its fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight, which should include the weight of anything stowed in the bed of the truck behind the rear axle. I'd recommend going with a system that provides an integrated sway control component as well, because travel trailers are susceptible to trailer sway caused by cross winds or turbulence from oncoming or passing traffic. For a budget friendly option,...

  • Stainless Rocker Panels from Putco that Fits 2019 Ford F-150
  • The # P3751444 is a fit for the previous generation of the Ford F-150 and does not fit the 2019 models. I attached a link that has all of the fits for your 2019 F-150. You'll have to select your bed length and cab style.

  • Recommended Drop or Rise Tolerance
  • Good Question! It is okay to have a little plus or minus you just don't want the tongue pointed too far either way. In your case I would use the 2" since we know it will have the trailer sitting dead level which is optimal. The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 4" Drop - 2" Rise - 7,500 lbs part # C45056 will be perfect. This helps to ensure that the trailer pushes and pulls flat on the truck rather than pushing up or pulling down when braking.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Two Kayaks for a 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew
  • The Yakima Jetstream Crossbar System part # Y00426, part # Y28TR, and part # Y06168 is my favorite option for a 2012 Ford F-150 Super Crew and what I recommend. In regards to fit, Yakima and Thule have the best fitting options on the market so I would have absolutely zero concerns with safety/security. If I were going to place expensive items on the roof these are the roof racks I would use without a doubt as they both have a longstanding reputation for quality and longevity. The system...

  • Best Sway Control System for a Keystone Passport 292BH and 2016 Ford F-150
  • There are a number of different things that can cause a truck/trailer to have excessive sway, even with a sway control system. For starters, this is a common compliant of late model F-150 owner's so that is something you might want to be aware of and most of them all have some sort of sway control. Before you start to throw money at the truck/trailer, you will want to make sure the actual (loaded and ready to tow) tongue weight of your trailer is between 10-15% of it's total weight. This...

  • Can Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit be Ordered Keyed Alike
  • Yes, if you select "keyed alike" from the drop down menu on the product page for the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit # 295-000019 that you referenced and ordered several of these latches they'd all show up using the same key.

  • Tip for Reducing Wind Noise of MaxxTow Ladder Rack MT70232
  • The best option we have to cut down on the wind noise of your MaxxTow Ladder Rack MT70232 would be with a fairing that would attach to the forward most bar and would direct most of the wind around where it's making noise. For that the best option is the Rhino-Rack fairing # RRRF4 which measures 50 inches long and will easily attach to the front bar.

  • Can Access Rockstar Custom Mud Flaps Fit on Equal-i-zer Shank
  • Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems typically have longer shanks than standard ball mounts so I wouldn't foresee an issue installing the Access Rockstar Mudflap part # A1010061 as long as you have the 3 inches of bumper clearance as well like what you see in the attached picture as well.

  • Could Bolt On Coupler # CTA-280 Be Unbolted and Stolen
  • There isn't a locking solution for the bolt on couplers like the Trailer Coupler # CTA-280 that you referenced but someone would have to have the needed tools and the correct coupler on hand to then reinstall on the trailer so that they could drive off with it. That's not a totally impossible scenario but pretty unlikely. You might be interested in a wheel lock like the # 288-02020 as well as this would lock the trailer regardless of the coupler style.

  • Will Access Soft Tonneau Cover From 2015 F-150 6-1/2 Foot Bed Fit 5-1/2 Foot Bed on 2018 F-150
  • The same tonneau cover from the 6-1/2 foot bed on a 2015 Ford F-150 will not fit the 5-1/2 foot bed on a 2018 Ford F-150. Tonneau covers are sized specifically for the beds they are designed to fit so it would simply be too long for the shorter bed. The correct Access Original Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover for the 2015 F-150 with the 6-1/2 foot bed is part # A11379 and for the 2018 F-150 with the 5-1/2 foot bed you would need part # A11369.

  • What Ladder Rack will Fit Over the Canopy on My 2006 Ford F-150?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, there isn't a ladder rack that will work with your canopy because your canopy covers the truck's bed rails as well as the stake pockets (which are the two attachment points for ladder racks). With that being said, a great solution is the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches # RTL002. The Extend-A-Truck will provide you a rear mounting point for a ladder or other long cargo (such as a kayak or canoe) on your...

  • Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2005 Ford F-150
  • It sounds like you are saying you have an adapter for your 5th wheel trailer and want to add a gooseneck hitch and hitch ball to your 2005 Ford F-150. For that there is definitely one option that stands above the rest, which is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1104. The reason why this is the best gooseneck for your F-150 is because it has a square base for its hitch ball which ensures optimal strength and durability. What that...

  • How to Carry 4 Bikes on a 2017 Ford F-150 for Everyday Use and When Towing a Travel Trailer
  • The best hitch mounted bike rack for your 4 bikes is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Fat Bikes # HR1400Z-FB because it holds up to 50 lb bikes (you should be able to remove the battery on your e-bike to decrease the weight) with up to 5" wide tires and the outer 2 bike positions can be removed to make it simpler for when it's just you and your son going to the local bike trail. The only time this throws a wrench in the works is when it comes time to haul your travel trailer...

  • Does Aerator of Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet # LC719325 Act as Water Filter
  • Aerators aren't really designed to be filters as they are intended to add air to the water flow so that you don't need to use as much water. That is why the aerator of the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet # LC719325 was not designed to be removable. There would be filters already in place in your RV water system like the # CAM40043 which would prevent the aerator from having to act as a filter.
