Expert Answers about Ford F-150

• Installation Kit for Reese 16K 5th Wheel on 2013 Ford F-150 with 5.5 Foot Bed
• The correct installation kit for your 2013 Ford F-150 is in fact the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part # RP50081-58. That being said, it sounds like your 5th wheel trailer uses a Reese Revolution Sidewinder Pin Box, so if you're using a sliding hitch like the Reese # RP30051, you'll want to make sure the slider remains locked and slid forward at all times to prevent any damage to your tailgate. As alternative, you could convert...

• Does Curt Multi-Fit Trailer Hitch Fit 2004 Ford F-150 and Require Drilling
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13902 will fit essentially any model of truck and that includes your 2004 Ford F-150. To install it though, you will need to drill holes, as outlined in the linked installation instructions. Because of that I do not recommend this hitch for your F-150 and instead strongly recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13357. This hitch does not require any drilling to install into your 2004 Ford F-150 and is designed as a custom-fit for your truck, which...

• Recommended Replacement For A Broken LaSalle Bristol Cable Actuated Waste Valve
• LaSalle Bristol doesn't make it so that you can replace much on their cable actuated waste valves besides just the handle so you would be better off just replacing the entire valve and cable system with Valterra's Black # TC372 and Gray # TC172. The old valves can just be unbolted and replaced with the new Valterra valves so that you don't have to cut any pipe or glue anything in. Valterra's cable system has a little rod at the end that clamps into an exposed port on the valve to easily...

• How to Connect the Third Brake Light on a Camper Topper
• Thanks for the picture! The 3rd Brake Light Logic Module item # PP20-702 you were looking at is exactly what you need to activate a third brake light on your 2022 Ford F-150's Overland camper topper. Once connected, this module allows the third brake light to illuminate separately from the turn signals. Without this module the third brake light would blink when the turn signals are illuminated. I attached a wiring diagram below which shows how to wire this module into your F-150's tail...

• Recommended Ladder Rack that is Compatible w/ a BAKFlip MX4 on a 5-1/2 Foot Bed 2020 Ford F-150
• The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover item # BAK48329 leaves your side pockets exposed so this gives you two options. If you are not needing to get all the way into your bed while the ladder rack is loaded you can use the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH43002XT-508. This is by far the best option if you're ok with having to slide the rear uprights forward when opening your tonneau cover. The ladder rack uprights are angled in so they interfere with the folding cover...

• Is The Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Adjustable For 350-400LBS of Tongue Weight?
• The Spring Bars # BLU82FR for the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution # BLU36FR is what gives you the tongue weight range of 200-600lbs. The adjustment holes for the ball mount itself are only to help you level the trailer. There are bolt holes on the L-Brackets # BLU72QR for the trailer which will allow you to increase or decrease the amount of tension on the bars. These are typically only ever used in one mounting position. Personally I have never been a fan of the Blue Ox weight distribution...

• Hitch Receiver for a 2008 Ford F-150 to Haul a Forest River Wildwood Trailer
• Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" item # C13360 would have enough capacity to haul your Forest River Wildwood trailer. This hitch is also a confirmed fit for your 2008 Ford F-150. I have linked an installation video. I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" Ball, a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop, and is rated for up to 7,500 lbs. It also includes a hitch pin and clip,...

• Best Weight Distribution Hitch For 450 lb and 750 lb Tongue Weights
• A weight distribution hitch is definitely going to be the right move for you to help eliminate the squat and give you more control to combat the "squirrelly" aspect you mentioned (which is a very good description). A lower tongue weight can still give tow vehicles some trouble, and a tonneau cover won't do much of anything to help. Removing the leveling kit may, but you are still likely to have some sag. So a WDH is the best option, and you'll need a specific one since you mentioned you...

• Can 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 Be Lifted By Frame with Air Bags
• There are two airbag options for a 2019 Ford F-150 4x4, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57385 and the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2582. The AirLift kit would not allow you to lift the vehicle by the frame without supporting the axle or unbolting the bag but the Firestone kit would. However, the Firestone kit also will not work with an in-bed hitch. I don't have any straps that are specifically for supporting the rear axle but any standard ratchet...

• Compatibility of Hopkins Tailgate Lift Assist 74211 With 2019 Ford F-150 Automatic Tailgate Opener
• The Hopkins EasyLift Truck Bed Tailgate Lift Assist # 74211 is a fit for a 2019 Ford F-150. The power open feature and step haven't been tested with this lift assist, so I can't confirm you won't have issues. It will fit and will help with the required two hand lift to close your tailgate, but it might cause issue with the hands free tailgate opener because it has a dampener to help it slowly drop so it won't slam. Because it hasn't been tested, I'm concerned this may compete with...

• Brake Controller Connector Location on 2000 Ford Expedition
• The connector you're looking for is gray in color, and is typically located to the left of the OBDII connector located under the dash below the steering column. According to my research, all models of the 2000 Expedition were equipped with the connector, so it should be under there somewhere. Try looking behind the OBDII connector. It's also possible that the connector is taped to another nearby wiring harness and the tape is covering the connector. If you use a Curt brake controller like...

• Universal Bulldog Winch Mounting Plate For 2000 Ford F-150
• I do have an option for you but the Bulldog Winch Universal Mounting Plate for Truck and Trailer Winches part # BDW20291 is designed more for open flat deck trailers, it may work for you but will probably require some drilling. The Bulldog Winch Universal Winch Mounting Plate for Truck part # BDW20008 is a better option which has a standard winch mounting bolt pattern of 10" long x 4-1/2" center to center hole spacing. I recommend to compare the hole spacing on the plate to what your hitch...

• Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-150 that Wont Affect Ride Quality Unloaded
• Since you want the ride quality of your truck to be unaffected when not towing with your 2015 Ford F-150 the easy solution is air bags which give you ability to totally control how much support they provide. The Timbren kits and ones similar do give you the support you want but are known to be pretty harsh when unloaded so that would not be the route I'd recommend. So you'd want the Firestone kit part # F2582 which has been confirmed to fit your truck and will give you all the support...
