The K-Source # KS3990 universal towing mirrors are what I'd consider the best universal towing mirrors we offer, because of the ratcheting strap mechanism they use to attach to the factory mirror. This allows for a tight fit, which limits vibration from the mirrors attachment to the factory mirror. Movement from the factory mirror could be a different story.
These clip on mirrors measure about 7-1/2 inches wide x 5-1/8 inches tall, so they will catch some wind especially at higher highway... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Airaid and he said your actual mileage increase using the Airaid PowerAid Throttle Body Spacer # AR400-531, which you reference, on your 2008 Ford Expedition will depend on many factors, including the condition of your vehicle, terrain, tire inflation, weather conditions, elevation, etc. He said Airaid does not test its throttle body booster with all vehicles, but relies on customer feedback and said most customers have reported an increase of 1-3 MPG.

To check the trailer towing fuses in your 2000 Expedition you will want to get into your power distribution box under the hood and locate the fuses in the 5, 19, and 20 fuses. Number 5 uses a 20 amp fuse and number 19 and 20 use a 10 amp fuse. You can find this on page 167 of your owner's manual.
The converter box on the Curt # C56332 is the black box in the middle of the harness. The fuse is located right next to it (see attached picture). This wiring harness is not a confirmed fit for... view full answer...
Mileage gains from using a performance tuner like the Superchips Flashpaq # SU1845 in your 2003 Ford Expedition with 5.4-liter engine can range from 10-15% according to my contact at Superchips. This is a best-case scenario. Do please note that there are a number of factors affecting fuel economy, from the condition and type of tires to the overall condition of the engine, so Superchips cannot guarantee these specific results.

Your vehicle can tow when in 4-wheel-drive operation. The online manual for the 2004 Ford Expedition indicates on page 241 the allowable trailer weights and gross combined weight ratings (GCWR, which is for both tow vehicle and trailer together) based on the specific versions of the vehicle and whether you are in 4 x 2 or 4 x 4 mode.
For example, the 4.6 liter version in 4 x 2 mode has a GCWR of 10500-lbs and in 4 x 4 mode a rating of 10700-lbs. The 5.4 liter with standard tow package... view full answer...
That's an excellent question, and the answer is there isn't a hard-and-fast number that means a weight distribution hitch is required. The best way to assess this is if the sag is noticeable, either visually or when towing. You really want to be as close to level as possible, but is 1/4 inch of sag going to be something you notice? Probably not. But if you can see your tow vehicle's back end drop down, or if you are towing and notice the vehicle is more difficult to handle, you need a weight... view full answer...
There are sometimes special circumstances where folks will need a longer weight distribution shank, typically because the receiver hitch on the tow vehicle is recessed under the vehicle further than usual.
The 10-1/4 inch length of the Reese # RP54970 weight distribution shank you'd looked at is pretty much standard, although longer ones are available. For a longer length, I'd recommend the # RP3214 from Reese which has a 14 inch long shank. The adjustment hole spacing is standard at 1-1/4... view full answer...
While not technically absolutely necessary, I do recommend balancing the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H430.
Trailer tires don't come balanced, and some people don't balance them at all, but doing so is a good idea to help ensure the tire wears evenly for the best performance. The easiest way to do this is with balancing beads:

A converter or modulite box should not be present on your 1998 Ford Expedition. Converters are required for vehicles with separate turn and tail lights, and modulite wiring is required for vehicles that cannot power a trailer directly from their tail light circuits. Neither would apply to your Expedition.
To wire your vehicle for towing, you would be able to use a simple plug in T-connector style wiring harness. We offer T-connector # 118344 for the 1998 Expedition models.
The # 118344... view full answer...

For your 2020 Coachmen 187RB with a 3,800 lb GVWR, the issue with the Curtis its tongue weight rating is for 600 lbs, and your Coachmen may not hit that rating. That would result in a very choppy ride, so the best option is indeed to go with the Reese Weight Distribution System # RP66558.
This has a tongue weight rating of between 400 lbs and 600 lbs, which your Coachmen will definitely fall in so this will work for you. This comes with everything you need for install except the hitch... view full answer...
The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier, # Y04089 mounts directly above the crossbars of your vehicle. This means the cross bars determine the placement/spread between the two clamps. So when it is stated to break down rods longer than 7 feet, this is a cautionary statement due to the flex of rods on that forward clamp. Some rods may have too much flex fom the headwinds and cause issues while driving. The # Y04089 comes with needed mounting hardware that has adjustments available.... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Hayes and he said the Hayes Genesis Trailer Brake Controller # HA81790 will not suffer any interference from cellphones, CB radios, etc. Based on my research most manufacturers of brake controllers insist on 12 to 18 inches of separation between CB radios and their brake controllers. I suggest mounting the brake controller and radio as far as possible away from each other to avoid interference when the brakes are applied. Distance is the key to keeping the electrical... view full answer...
