Expert Answers about Ford F-250 Super Duty


  • Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box 18,000lb & 21,000lb Product Comparisons
  • For your Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin boxes there is no advantage or disadvantage between the 18,000lb product # LC328492 and 21,000lb product # LC158778. As long as the pin box is rated as high or higher than the trailer's GVWR you'll be good to go. I would recommend sticking closer to the actual weight capacity of your camper unless you plan on sizing up in the future to a heavier camper.

  • Comparing Firestone Air Bags and SuperSprings for a 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • The main difference between air bags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F35FV and add-a-leaf like the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer part # SSA22 is that the air bags can be adjusted to a particular trailer or load and the add-a-leaf options are not adjustable. That said, they are both great options for a 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains part # TC2533 fit both 275/70-18 and 285/65-18 tires.

  • Difference Between B&W BWGNRK1108 and BWGNRK1108-5W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch
  • There is no difference between the two. We have two similar but different part numbers because we market the # BWGNRK1108 as a gooseneck hitch and the # BWGNRK1108-5W as the mount for the # BWRVK3400 sliding version of the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch for short bed trucks or # BWRVK3500 for long bed trucks. By having two different part numbers for the identical part, the hitch is easier to Google search for. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed so you...

  • Comparing The Reese 48 Inch Rails With The Reese 43 Inch Rails For 5th Wheel Hitches On 2015 F-250
  • On your 2015 Ford F-250, rail kit # RP50026-58 and rail kit # RP56016-53 are both a confirmed fit with custom brackets for your vehicle. If you want the easier to install outboard kit, the # RP56016-53 will give you more room to work on your F-250. The benefit of the longer rail of 48 inches versus the 43 inch rail # RP50026-58 is only the ease of install and aesthetic. Both rails will fit the industry standard 5th wheel hitches made by B&W, Curt, Demco Hijacker Premier Series, Draw-Tite,...

  • Comparing Draw Tite and Curt Front Hitch for 2020 Ford F-250
  • We have two really great front hitches that fit your 2020 Ford F-250 with the Draw Tite part # 65076 and the Curt # C31078. The big differences are that the Draw Tite will stick out past the air dam a bit more than the Curt. Also the Curt is made in the USA. I attached a picture that shows where the Curt installs relative to the air dam. I would go with the Curt for the reasons mentioned unless the accessory you plan to install in the front hitch has a shorter shank.

  • Difference Between 5th Wheel Hitch for 2015 Ford F-250 8ft Bed with Factory Rail Kit and Without
  • The difference between the two styles of trucks is the standard 8 ft bed is not equipped for a fifth wheel hitch where as the one with a factory rail kit is equipped with pucks in the bed of the truck for a fifth wheel hitch. Just mount a hitch like the Curt Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Ford OEM Legs, # C16520-16017, into the pucks in the bed of the truck and you are ready to tow. For a truck that is not equipped with the puck system, you would then have the option of installing a...

  • Using GVWR to Determine Proper Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Pin Box
  • I spoke with Gen-Y Hitch to confirm the right gooseneck pin box for you. To determine the proper pin box, they use a formula based on your GVWR. The tongue weight of your trailer can be anywhere between 10 and 30 percent of that number (30 is extremely high, but possible). Based on that, your 2020 Keystone Cougar (at 11,500 pounds of GVWR) can end up being between 1150 and 3450 pounds. This lines up with your measured weight. As such, the 2K Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin...

  • Pace Edwards JackRabbit Tonneau Cover Comparison for 2019 Ford F-250 SuperDuty
  • The Pace Edwards JackRabbit # 311-JRFA18A44 has a weather-resistant, padded ArmorTek deck laminated to rigid aluminum panels to provide a soft cover look with hard cover security. The Pace Edwards Full-Metal JackRabbit # 311-FMFA18A44 is a full metal, black powder-coated aluminum deck with interlocking silicone hinges to help the cover glide along the side rails. The differences are fairly negligible in appearance but with the # 311-FMFA18A44 you're going to get a much more sturdy tonneau...

  • Difference Between HydraStar Disc Brake Kit HSE7K-TR1 & HSE7K-TR1SO for 7K Triple-Axles
  • The difference between the two HydraStar Disc Brake Kits with Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers is that one comes with a complete hub-and-rotor assembly while the other is just the slip-on rotors without the hubs. What that means is that if you need new hubs with the brake kit you will want the HydraStar Disc Brake Kit with Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers - 13" Hub/Rotor # HSE7K-TR1. If your hubs are in fine shape and you just want the kit with the slip-on rotors you will want the HydraStar...

  • Firestone 7,500 lb Kit or 5,000 lb Kit for a 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD
  • Both Firestone Ride-Rite kits are good options for your 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD, but I like to recommend the 7,500 lb # F95FV rating over the 5,000 lb Rating # F35FV simply because it means the air bags can be used for the same application but they won't be pushed as hard as the 5K kit, even with heavier loads. It's important to note that these don't increase your weight capacity - they're only designed to help support a suspension system that's in good working order. I also recommend...
