Expert Answers about Ford F-150


  • Why Can't the Factory Trailer Hitch Be Replaced On a 2005 Ford F-150
  • The reason the factory trailer hitch on a 2005 Ford F-150 cannot be replaced with an aftermarket hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41549 is because the factory hitches tie into the factory bumper and the aftermarket hitches don't. It will physically fit but there would not be sufficient support for the factory bumper. If you replace the factory bumper with an aftermarket bumper you should then be able to use an aftermarket hitch.

  • Recommended Air Bag System for a 2018 Ford F-150
  • Adding a set of air bags to your 2018 Ford F-150 will accomplish both of your goals. They will level out your truck and help when you are towing. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers item # AL88385. These air springs have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will keep the rear end of your truck up when you are hauling your trailer. The best part about air bags is not only are they good for towing they can be used for daily driving to give you a more comfortable...

  • Which Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit Fits Winnebago Minnie 2401RG
  • Since your current equalizers are 5-3/4 inches then the Dexter EZ Flex kit part # K71-652-00 that you referenced would for sure fit and work great. I wouldn't worry about the axle spacing differences as all that really matters is the width dimension you have mentioned and the capacity which these are good for up to 6,000 lbs.

  • Bike Rack to Fit 2020 Ford F-150 With Open Tailgate
  • The Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier # HR520 which has a long enough shank to be able to completely open your tailgate. But if you'd like something that is a little easier to use, I recommend the Thule Camber 4 Bike Rack # TH9056. The tilting and folding features are activated with levers instead of pins plus this will also tilt away with enough clearance for your tailgate. I'm attaching a review video of these racks for you to check out.

  • Will The Curt Class IV Hitch C26HR Fit A 2021 Ford F-150 With A 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  • As long as your 2021 Ford F-150 with 6-1/2 foot bed does not include the factory hitch, which your picture shows that you do not, you are good to go with the American made Curt Class IV # C26HR. This will bolt directly to you frame and will offer you 10,000 pounds towing and 1,000 pounds of tongue weight capacity. This jumps to 12,000 pounds and 1,200 pounds respectively when weight distribution is used. However, I do recommend double checking the weight capacity in your owner's manual...

  • Best Tonneau Cover For 2019 Ford F-150 w/ 5-1/2 Foot Bed & Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack
  • There are two options for a tonneau cover for your 2019 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed that will work with the OverHaul HD, and both tonneaus are from Retrax. They're actually the same model of tonneau, but with a different material: - RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover - Polycarbonate # RTT-60373 - RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover - Aluminum # RTT-80373 The difference between these is that the # RTT-60373 is made from a one-piece sheet of polycarbonate (a very strong plastic compound),...

  • What Aries Nerf Bars will Fit My 2021 Ford F-150?
  • I have a solution for you. From the sticker numbers you provided, I determined that you have the Aries Oval Nerf Bars - 4" Wide # AA27ZB that were installed on your 2021 Chevy Silverado (these bars fit models 1500, 2500, and 3500). With that being said, those bars are not manufactured by Aries to fit a 2021 Ford F-150. One of the frustrating things about switching nerf bars from one vehicle to the next is that manufacturers produce specific models of nerf bars for specific year/make/model/cab...

  • Recommended Front Hitch Receiver for 2021 Ford F-150
  • Yes, the Curt # C31083 Front Mount Hitch is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Ford F-150 truck. Not only will this make boat ramp launching and recovery easier and maneuvering travel trailers into tight spots, but you can also add accessories like a Curt # C18065 bike rack for 5 bikes. For specific items just email me back. Also, to keep grit, grime, road salt and bugs from jamming in there when not in use grap an etrailer # 22282 rubber hitch cover.

  • Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bags for 2004 Ford F-150 With 2-Wheel Drive
  • We do have Air Lift air bags that are a fit for your 2004 Ford F-150 with 2-wheel drive, but the part number you mentioned is not a fit for your truck. So instead, the correct Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 that I can confirm is a fit for a 2004 Ford F-150 with 2-wheel drive is the following: - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57228 These are going to do a great job of giving your F-150's suspension added support to help keep your truck stable and level. When installing this...

  • Tire Chains for a 2013 Ford F-150 with 275/55-20 Tires
  • According to the owner's manual for your 2013 Ford F-150, tire chains cannot be used on models with 274/55-20 tires due to the limited clearance between the tires and vehicle components. The use of tire chains on aluminum wheels is not recommended but is also not prohibited. You will just need to be aware that they may cause chips to the wheels. All tire chains installed on this vehicle must also be class S compliant. With that being said, the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains part #...

  • Will the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Work with Weight Distribution 2016 Ford F-150
  • A set of airbags will not interfere with a weight distribution system. However, the airbags will not be needed to level the vehicle if your weight distribution system is properly rated and installed. They will help to increase stability and improved ride quality on your 2016 Ford F-150 but should not be necessary for leveling purposes when towing with a weight distribution system. If you ever decide to tow a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer you will need to make sure the airbags will work...

  • Will the B&W Companion Head Work With the B&W Patriot Base On a 2019 Ford F-150
  • The B&W Companion and B&W Patriot use different hitch heads and they cannot be interchanged. Therefore, the best option would be to obtain the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BW77FR for a 2019 Ford F-150 so you could use the B&W Companion part # BWRVK3500 or part # BWRVK3400. The other option is to obtain the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # BW39FR for a 2019 Ford F-150 so you can use the B&W Patriot part # BWRVK3270 or part # BWRVK3255. If you...

  • Brake Controller and Trailer Wiring Adapter for a 2010 Ford F150
  • The Tekonsha # 22292 is a plug in wiring adapter that will work with your 2010 Ford F-150, if your truck already has a 4-pole or a 7-way wiring system that can be be used with a brake controller. If your truck currently has a factory installed 7-way then you can plug the # 22292 wiring adapter into the wiring harness located in the dash of your truck and then, after routing the other end of the wiring adapter under the dash, you can plug it into the brake controller. If your truck does...

  • Ladder Rack & Tonneau Cover Combo Options For A 2017 Ford F-150
  • If you have a 5-1/2 foot bed on your 2017 Ford F-150 then you can use the BAK Revolver X4 # BAK39329 tonneau cover with the Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-508. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you need this ladder rack # TH43002XT-501 and this version of the Revolver # BAK27ZR. This tonneau cover will need to be installed first, then you can install the TracRac. These two work together because the tonneau cover leaves the stake pockets open and the roll up feature doesn't create any issues when...

  • Tri-Fold Versus Retractable Tonneau Covers 2015 Ford F-150 6-1/2' Bed
  • I have a tonneau cover recommendation for your 2015 Ford F-150 that I think you will like better than the BAKFlip F1. I recommend checking out the RetraxONE MX Hard Tonneau Cover part # RT60374. This tonneau cover is retractable and can be locked in place at different positions. Therefore you will not need to worry about locking latches breaking. As the cover itself is retractable meaning the cover is inside the tracks, the chances of water seeping in will be much less compared to a folding...

  • Replacement 7- and 4-Way Trailer Connector Socket for 2011 Ford F-150
  • The 7-way plug you are referring to on your 2011 Ford F-150 is the same thing as the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket # HM40975. This will fit as an exact replacement for the factory 7-way on your truck. I have added a link to a video review and install of this connector for you to check out as well.
