The Roadmaster Tow Defender part # RM-4750 that you referenced does not require any adapters to be used with a Roadmaster Direct Connect base plat kit. I attached a picture that shows this installed on a Direct Connect base plate for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Based on my research there was two Extang Tuff Tonno Tonneau Covers for your 2006 Ford Ranger based on if it had a 6' or 7' bed.
If your truck has a 6' bed then it has the Extang EX14630 and needs replacement cover # EX13630.
If your truck has a 7' bed then it has the Extang EX14635 and needs the replacement cover # EX13635 instead. view full answer...
The 3rd Brake Light Logic Module part # PP20-702 is what we recommend and use when powering the third brake light on a camper shell as it's designed for this exact purpose. There are two input wires (both yellow) in which you'll attach the stop/turn signal wires to, then one output wire which separates the stop/turn signals from the input sending just the stop signal to the third brake light. It's very simple and easy to install.
Please note, you'll need to splice the wires from the module... view full answer...
Best option would be the part # CE11416 which was designed to fit a 3 by 5 inch frame. The U-bolts are 6 inches long and have an inner width of 3 inches. view full answer...
Your boat trailer has "surge brakes" which use the inertia change of you hitting the brakes to pressurize a master cylinder and apply hydraulic pressure to the brake assemblies to slow the trailer down. So you don't need a brake controller like you mentioned and all you'd need for a 7-way is the part # C56431 that you referenced. view full answer...
For your 2004 Ford Ranger with a full size spare and stepside bed, I recommend the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 13138. This is a Class III trailer hitch that will provide a 2 inch receiver opening with a 400 pound tongue weight capacity and a 4,000 pound towing weight limit. It is confirmed to fit with a full size spare and there will be no issues with the stepside bed. I have attached an image that shows the hitch installed around a full size spare tire.

Installation of Curt front mount trailer hitch # C31063 will actually require some trimming of front fascia on a 2011 and 2009 Ford Ranger. I have linked the instructions for you that show where the trimming takes place. This means it will likely be up higher than you think.
The tow bar that you have is the same as # 63180. This tow bar is rated for a maximum of 45 miles an hour. Also, to flat tow a vehicle behind another vehicle you will need to have base plates for each vehicle, a compatible... view full answer...
In order to charge the battery on a 2019 Ford Ranger while in tow I recommend the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-156-25. The connection can then be bridged with the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit part # RM-146-7. This is by far the best option, all you need to do is install a 6-way on the vehicle which is provided and then you don't have to make any additional connections each time you get setup. I don't have any good options for a dedicated... view full answer...
We have brake controller solutions for your 2003 Ford Ranger but since your truck isn't pre-wired for a brake controller you'd have to wire in a standard controller or use a wireless solution like the Curt Echo # C51180 which plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow.
For a traditional brake controller the Brake EVN # TK63VR would work really well as it's very reliable and uses an inertia sensor to sense how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes. view full answer...
The etrailer # e63ZR and Curt # C13417 Class III Trailer Hitches for your 2020 Ford Ranger are very similar. The main difference is the etrailer hitch has a modern black matte finish while the Curt hitch has the traditional glossy black finish.
Otherwise, these two hitches are essentially identical, both have the same weight capacities and offer simple bolt-on installations with their custom mounting brackets. I have attached full installation videos below for these hitches that you can... view full answer...
The Curt Hitch part # 13138 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 1998 Ford Ranger so it would be the hitch for you to go with. There will be some drilling required for installation of this hitch. I attached an install video for you to check out that shows the hitch being installed on a similar 1999 Ranger.
If 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... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but the part # 753-2149 is designed to be attached to the factory fixed points of a vehicle roof and not a camper shell.
Instead you would want the part # TH29200XT as it has been confirmed as a fit for your 2008 Ford Ranger with a camper shell. view full answer...
The Lippert Kwikee 28 Series Electric Step # LC3747452 is not designed for use on vehicles like a truck. I'm sure it is possible to mount it, but you would need to reinforce the frame for the correct mounting.
The motor issue you stated could be due to a bad switch but this is not a regular issue. If you were to install this on your vehicle you absolutely would need to run a power wire # 10-1-1 from the battery to the switch and run the negative to ground on the vehicle frame. I've... view full answer...
I just confirmed with Firestone that the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle item # F28ZR is the correct air bag system for your 2021 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD with the Tremor Package. The only thing that was done to the rear suspension was a slight tweak with the leaf springs which does not effect the mounting of the air bags.
This kit does not attach the bag to the top and bottom bracket so you wouldn't have to worry about it preventing your suspension from... view full answer...
I do have a solution to add a 7-Way trailer connector and brake controller to your 1998 Ford Ranger. Since there isn't a plug-in 7-Way available for your truck, one will need to be partially hardwired.
First, if the truck already has a 4-Way flat connector then all you would need is kit # ETBC7 which includes all the parts needed to install the 7-Way and provisions for installing a brake controller.
If the truck does not have any trailer connector then before you can install the ETBC7... view full answer...
For your 2007 Ford Ranger there are a couple options. If you have a regular cab, then I recommend using the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # RRRS143. If you have a super cab, then I recommend the rack consisting of crossbars # RRVA126B-2, feet # RRRLKVA, and fit kit # DK191. view full answer...

The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate # 435-1 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 1994 Ford Ranger, however we don't have any pictures available it installed on this specific truck. I have attached a couple images of the very similar Roadmaster # 435-3 installed on a similar model year Ranger that you can take a look at. This will give you a really good idea of how they will look on your truck.
The only real difference between the two kits is that the arms on the # 453-3 can... view full answer...
Yes you can install the Hopkins Insight brake controller in your 2021 Ford Ranger and actually you don't need anything else to do so. Your Ranger doesn't have a connector for brake controller wiring and instead has 4 blunt cut wires that are sticking out of the large wire harness that goes through the driver's side firewall, left of the brake pedal, with shrink tubing on the ends. view full answer...
