Expert Answers about Ford F-450 Super Duty


  • Front Hitch Option For A 2023 Ford F-550
  • I do have a potential option for you, however the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65076 is not confirmed to fit the 2023 Ford F-550. Since there is no custom fit option, your best option is going to be with a universal model like the Draw-Tite Multi-Fit Trailer Hitch # 5350 that will require some drilling. This particular hitch features adjustable brackets that allow it to fit frame rails that are 24" to 46" wide. The brackets will get bolted to the frame to provide you with a crosstube...

  • Recommended EZ Connector Magnetic Wiring Harness For a 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty
  • The EZ Connector Custom Vehicle Wiring Harness # 319-S7-06 will plug and play with the factory connector on your 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty. This will take your factory wiring but will not clip in like your factory connector. I recommend the EZ Connector Custom Vehicle Wiring Harness # 319-R7-06 as it will tee in line of your factory connector. This will allow you to maintain the factory trailer connector for when you use a trailer without the EZ Connector wiring. It also includes a mounting...

  • Troubleshooting RVS-MV3 Backup Camera System Saying No Signal On Camera Monitor
  • It is possible that the RVS-MV3 Camera on your 2016 Thor RV Motorcoach built on the Ford E-450 chassis has gone bad and is causing the camera monitor to not display the image. Before jumping to that conclusion I recommend checking that the camera connectors did not come loose and that the camera has power. If the camera does have power and all of the connectors are connected then you will need to replace the camera with the # RVS-611 which is a standard camera, or the # RVS-611-IR which...

  • Best Air Bag Suspension Kit for 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty 4x4
  • The best air bag suspension kit for your 2022 Ford F-450 is the Firestone Ride-Rite kits due to their durability with the double-convoluted shape and crimp rolled seal. There are 2 different options for your pickup and the difference is just the weight capacity (keep in mind that these only help support weight and won't increase the capacity of your pickup). Standard Duty 5,000 lb Capacity - # F35FV Red Label Extreme Duty 7,500 lb Capacity - # F95FV (distance from the outside of the frame...

  • Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2021 Ford F-450 With Factory Puck/Prep Hitch System
  • I recommend going with the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305 on your 2021 Ford F-450. This hitch has the quality of being made in the USA unlike both the Curt # C48BR and Reese # RP68FR. I've never been a fan of Reese as they like to come out with a new hitch and completely discontinue any parts for the old hitch forcing you to have to get a new 5th wheel. B&W also has a great warranty department who prefer to work directly with their warranty claims to determine what went wrong...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty with OEM Puck System
  • Thanks for reaching out! The 5th wheel hitch I recommend for the OEM puck system on your 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty is the Curt A25 # C16180 which connects to the pucks using the Adapter Rails # C88KR. I really like the A25 because it has dual interlocking jaws that wrap around the king pin and provide 360 degree contact, as well as a fully articulating torsion head. With these features you get a really smooth and secure towing experience. When it comes to a bed liner for your truck,...

  • Is There any Benefit to Using Sidewinder Pin Box with Long Bed Truck
  • Sidewinder pin boxes offer more benefits than just short bed turning clearance so I would definitely recommend utilizing yours by allowing it to pivot. You'll find that it's a lot easier to back up with the Sidewinder and the trailer tracks a lot better around corners (you won't have to swing out as wide when making sharp turns). The correct wedge kit you'd need is the part # RP74FR if you have a 20k Sidewinder as the Reese wedge would not fit due to head/jaw shape differences.

  • Air Lift Air Bag Kit for 2011 Ford F-450 with B and W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch
  • Yes, the Air Lift air bag kit part # AL57596 is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Ford F-450 and is perfectly compatible with your B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch setup. For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # AL25854 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.

  • Recommended Wiring Harness and Trailer Brake Controller for 2008 Ford F-450
  • If your 2008 Ford F-450 does not have any existing connector installed at the rear of the truck, you will need to start by installing a 4-Way. For this, I recommend the Tekonsha 4-Pole Hardwire Kit # 18252. This universal harness includes the needed quick-splice connectors and circuit testers for installation. I have attached the installation instructions that you can take a look at. Then, from there (or if you already have a 4-Way on your F-450), you will need to install the Hopkins...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ford F-450 with Factory Rail Kit
  • First and foremost, I want to sincerely thank you for your service. If your 2018 Ford F-450 features the factory rail kit in the truck bed, I highly recommend the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16545-16017. This is a fantastic hitch that will mount directly to the factory pucks in your truck bed and provide you with a 24,000 pound towing weight capacity. This is an extremely well-built and durable unit that features a 2-jaw locking system for excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact and...

  • Underbed Gooseneck Hitch Recommendations for a 2016 Ford F-450 Super Duty
  • I recommend going with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1111 for your 2016 Ford F-450 Super Duty. This is an American-Made underbed gooseneck hitch that gives you the ability to store the hitch ball upside down in the hitch receiver when you aren't towing. Since you have a dually you'll also want to pick up the Extended Latch Pin Handle # BWGNXA1800 so it'll be easier to secure and release the hitch ball. The only other gooseneck...

  • Can UWS Truck Bed Chest Tool Box # UWS01047 Fit 2017 Ford F-350 with 5th Wheel and Tonneau
  • The overall height of the UWS Truck Bed Chest # UWS01047 is 17-1/4 inches which is going to be shorter than the height of your truck bedrails so it will pretty easily fit underneath your tonneau cover. Now without knowing the length of your bed and the fifth wheel hitch you have it's harder to say if the box would interfere but I can tell you that the box will take up 20 inches of your truck bed from the front of the bed back so you'd need to measure your truck bed to determine if that...

  • Gooseneck Adapter For A Ford F-550
  • It sounds like you might be looking for an adapter that converts your gooseneck connection to a 5th wheel connection. If thats the case, I recommend the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550046. This adapter will convert a recessed gooseneck hitch to a 5th wheel hitch, and has a maximum towing capacity of 21,000-lbs. This hitch does require that the top of the gooseneck ball must be 13/16" or closer to the top of the truck bed for the hitch to install. If...

  • What Full-Bed Protection Mat do You Recommend for My 2022 F-450 Super Duty with 8 Foot Bed?
  • I have a great front coverage solution for you. I confirmed with BedRug that the BedRug Custom Truck Tailgate Mat for Trucks with Bare Beds, Spray-In Liners or Drop-In Liners # BMQ17TG only covers the surface of the bed and tailgate and does not cover the front-most bed wall wall at the cab of your 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty with an 8-foot bed. However, we do have a great full-coverage mat that provides the protection you need. For that route, I recommend the BedRug Impact Truck Bed Liner...

  • Where to Measure When Picking Out Fifth Wheel Trailer Height
  • Did you take this measurement from the bottom of the king pin or the bottom of the king pin plate? If you took the measurement from the bottom of the king pin and not the plate that would explain the height difference issue you are having. The part # BWRVK3305 is adjustable from 16-3/4 - 18-3/4 inches.

  • 2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty Timbren Suspension Enhancement Kit Recommendation
  • I recommend going with the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDJ for your 2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty because it's designed better for pickup truck-type applications. The other Timbren kit # TFRTT350J is designed more for Severe Service vehicles like that will have more constant heavy loads in them (like a slide-in camper, salt spreader, or crane) so if your F-450 is only going to be used like a pickup then the first kit is what you want to use. We've actually had the opportunity...
