  • What PSI Does Vent Cap of DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank Release Pressure
  • I spoke with my contact at DeeZee and the cap of the DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank # DZ91752X that you referenced starts to vent at 4 psi. I also showed them the picture you sent in and they said they weren't able to give directions on how it should be wired or installed as it's not one of their pumps. You shouldn't have to vent the tank beyond the cap it already has though.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2010 Ford Transit Connect XLT
  • We definitely have parts you can use so that you can tow a trailer with your 2010 Ford Transit Connect XLT, however since the owner's manual states that Ford does not advise towing with your vehicle I don't really have a way to verify a safe towing capacity so you'll need to reach out to your local Ford dealer or just understand that you'll be flying blind when it comes to safe towing weight ratings. If you decide that you still want to tow with your Transit Connect then I recommend installing...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in a 2016 Ford Transit
  • To install a brake controller in your 2016 Ford Transit Connect tou will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56218. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Ford Transit Connect Long Wheel Base

It will work with the Long Wheel Base frame as well as the standard wheel base frame. Unfortunately we don't yet have and adjustable air ride option, but the Timbren system will help support your load, reduce body roll, and progressively get more rigid as weight is added. I've attached a video to assist as well as the installation instructions.

  • Recommended Tie-Down Loops for Thule TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder Rack
  • In order to add tie-down loops to your Thule TracRac TracVan Ladder Rack # TH29611XT, I recommend the Thule Tie-Downs # TH25100. This kit includes 2 tie-down loops and the needed hardware. The Aluminum Shim Kit # TH29700 that you also referenced is designed for use on vans that have curved rain gutters to ensure that the crossbars on the roof sit at the same height. If the crossbars on your Ford Transit Connector sit at different heights, then adding the shim kit will definitely help...

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring and Hitch for 2015 Ford Transit Connect
  • To install a 7-way connector like what you described in your 2015 Ford Transit Connect will first require a 4-way like the part # 118613 which is a confirmed fit.

The unique design allows you to quickly place them on the tires and the storage bag provides you with a dry place to kneel while you are installing them

  • Hitch Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier on a 2016 Ford Transit Connect Wagon
  • I have a possible solution for you, but I don't recommend carrying your Thule bike rack with an aluminum carrier, even though its technically possible. You could use a part like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver, part # RM-077-8, which offers an 8 inch rise and would give you two 2 inch receiver hitches to work with. The top one would absolutely have to be the bike rack, while the bottom would be your cargo carrier's shank. You would then use an extender in the bottom port to clear most...

  • Trailer Hitch that Can Fit RV for Carrying Bike Rack
  • We have multi-fit hitches that will work great on your RV like the Curt # 13703 but the two hitches you mentioned are not going to work great without a large amount of modification potentially as they were made for passenger vehicles. I attached an install video for the # 13703 for you to check out on a similar trailer as well.

  • The Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y07337 will fit crossbar spreads up to 42 inches and is the maximum distance on center. Your current Thule AeroBlade roof rack system has a crossbar spacing of 39 inches according to Thule with a capacity of 165 lbs max.

  • Trailer Hitch and Swing-Away Adapter Recommendations for a 2013 Ford Transit Connect
  • The trailer hitch I recommend installing on your 2013 Ford Transit Connect is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e94KR because of the matte black finish that not only makes it look more rugged but also protects it better from the elements than the standard glossy black finish we see on all of the other trailer hitches that fit your vehicle. Then for a swing-away adapter I highly recommend the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away # PVP20B because it's secured and solid but still really easy to operate...
