Once the Curt Quick Goose 2 gooseneck hitch # C630-641 is installed on your 2010 Ford F-150, you will be able to see the hitch ball, the chrome ring running below the ball, and the two safety chain U-bolts. The U-bolts remain in the bed, but you are able to remove the hitch ball, turn it over and cover the hole with a chrome cap, retaining the looks and use of your truck bed.
I am including a link to the installation instructions for the gooseneck hitch, if needed. view full answer...
It's going to depend on which trailer connector assembly your truck is using. If it's something like # HM40975, what you're proposing won't work because both of the protective covers over each trailer connector cannot be opened far enough at the same time due to the hinge design. However, we have a good solution. You can use the # HM48470 instead of the factory connector. This will allow a lighted hitch cover like the # CR-007 you'd looked at to work perfectly.

If it is necessary to lift your 2012 Ford F-150 by the frame, first release the air pressure from the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2542. This will allow the air springs to extend to their maximum length without being damaged. The uninflated air springs are capable of supporting the weight of the axle when the vehicle is lifted by the frame.
If the vehicle is to remain on the lift for an extended period of time I recommend using some jacks to support some of the weight from... view full answer...
I've done some research on the Pro Pride 3 hitch, but I haven't used one. It looks like a pretty neat design for trailers that have a severe sway problem. The system is said to overcome 'poor trailer design' and 'improper loading'. I've seen prices of $ 2500 quoted for the hitch.
Now for my opinion. For the small percentage of folks who have very long (35 feet +) and tall travel trailers that are very sensitive to sway that aren't loaded properly or who have ben traumatized by a severe... view full answer...
The P3 brake controller # 90195 is never really off; it just goes to sleep. When in this sleep mode it is drawing just a few milliamps of power. At that rate it would take months of the truck just sitting for the controller to drain the battery. view full answer...
Unloaded, the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-Y will provide a negligible increase in ride height, up to one inch. When loaded, they will substantially reduce the amount of sag in the rear suspension. This system is an excellent solution as it addresses numerous suspension woes, such as axle wrap, wheel hopping, sway and body roll, among others. This system isn't compatible with Raptor models.

The Replacement Snap-Up Lever for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ95-01-6050 comes in two halves that thread together.
The lower half is 11-1/8 inches and the upper half is 11-1/4 inches.
The total length of the lever is 22-3/8 inches. view full answer...
There's a bunch of possible reasons this could be happening on your 2014 Ford F-150 and I'll give you some troubleshooting steps. The first thing to do is take a look at your owner's manual to locate any fuses or relays and ensure they are all there and in working order. If they are, in order to determine the specific problem you will need to purchase a circuit tester like # PTW2979 and test the connector on your vehicle after disconnecting it from your trailer.
Check the wiring going... view full answer...
Thank you so much for the purchases! To start, the answer to your first question is yes, all the bolts will indeed fit without any issue. Then as for additional bolts, there are no additional wet bolts needed or recommended to go along with the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR. view full answer...
Because folks frequently lose them, Blue Ox offers the pins you speak of, also known as drawbars as a separate item but unfortunately they don't sell the frame mount portion of the # BO74FR as a separately available item. You'll need to purchase the full # BO74FR bracket kit.
Other than the expense which I wouldn't be thrilled about either, at least you'll have extra drawbars in case you lose one. view full answer...
The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11550 which are a fit for a 2016 Ford F-150 don't have any magnification. I am not actually aware of any towing mirrors we offer with magnification, they are designed to simply extend your field of view so you can see your trailer better and what's beside it. There are some blind-spot stick-on mirrors which have magnification but that's it to the best of my knowledge. These towing mirrors are the same type of mirror used in the factory side mirror,... view full answer...
When you're determining the necessary rating for the weight distribution system you use, you will not add the weight of the system as tongue weight. The trailer tongue weight used to figure out what system you need should be the loaded and ready to tow trailer's tongue weight PLUS the weight of anything you carry in the tow vehicle behind the rear axle. Let's call this your total tongue weight.
When you choose a system, ideally you'll want the total tongue weight to fall toward the middle... view full answer...
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F2542 is covered by a two-tier warranty; the hardware is backed by a 2-Year limited warranty; the air springs themselves are covered by a lifetime limited warranty. This kit fits the 2WD and 4WD versions of the 2011 Ford F-150 but not the SVT Raptor. view full answer...
The Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System # AR402-299 which fits your 2014 Ford F-150 with 5.0L V8 can deliver at the very most under ideal circumstances an additional 17-horse power and an additional 16-ft-lbs of torque. This means that under "typical conditions" in a "typical vehicle" you might safely expect to achieve about half of this maximum gain.
It is difficult for Airaid to quote typical/average gains since they do not actually have access to hundreds of customers' vehicles to allow... view full answer...
I looked in the online version of the owner's manual for a 2016 Ford F-150 and according to that your GCWR will be one of four, depending on if you have a 2-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive, and your wheelbase. For a 2WD with a 145 inch wheelbase your GCWR will be 15,200 lbs, or 15,300 lbs for a 163 inch wheelbase.
For a 4WD your GCWR will be 14,400 lbs for a 145 inch wheelbase or 14,500 lbs for a 163 inch wheelbase. I strongly recommend verifying this by contacting your local Ford dealer with... view full answer...
In our fit guide you have the option to choose whether you 2017 Ford F-150 has a trailer hitch receiver already installed from the factory or not.
Depending on the package some of the F-150's do not include any hitch receiver at all and we carry hitches that can be installed on the truck. This is how most of the hitches that we carry for the truck are designed. An example of one is the Draw-Tite # DT35MR.
We do carry one hitch, the Curt # C26HR, that can be installed in addition to... view full answer...
I called my contact at Draw-Tite and they told me where the issues are with installing an after market trailer hitch on a Ford truck with a factory hitch.
The bumper bracket on the truck with a factory hitch is part of the hitch. You would need to remove the bumper brackets you have and replace them with stock brackets, and remove the existing hitch. This would essentially make your truck stock with no factory hitch.
You would then be able to install a trailer hitch like part # 41549.... view full answer...
The reason that the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR is not good for the manual override is that when you drive with the controller in proportional braking mode and push the manual override it only allows the trailer brakes to be applied in a light braking scenario. This is often not enough braking force on the trailer brakes if you are relying on them solely. As you are new to trailering and brake controllers I do not see this being an issue for you as it comes more... view full answer...
For your 1999 Ford F-250 5.4L, the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner - Ford # SU1845 will provide up to 25 additional horsepower, and up to 49 ft-lbs of torque. With the towing setting, you can expect about 60 hp and 150 ft/lbs torque. view full answer...
The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CM11550 are speciically designed to help you see behind your trailer. While they do not necessarily expose anything, they do give you a 4" extended mirror face which allows you to to expand your line of sight further.
