Expert Answers about Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty


  • Class V Trailer Hitch for 2002 Ford F-350 That is Compatible With Spare Tire
  • I took a look at each hitch for your 2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and was able to find one option for a Class V hitch that will work with a spare tire, and is near flush with your bumper, which is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT45508. This hitch will require you to remove your factory hitch, and in regard to keeping it tight to the frame, the brackets are, but the hitch tube is below the bumper (I'm not sure if by "tight to the frame" you meant you wanted the crosstube to be concealed)....

  • Compatibility Curt Manufacturing Base Rails with Firestone Air Bags F2597
  • I contacted Curt Manufacturing, they confirm that this is the best kit, the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford, # C16424-204, for your 2011 Ford Super Duty F-350. They were cautious while using the current Firestone # F2597 air bags. However, when discussing with Tech at Firestone they have no exceptions listed for the Firestone # F2597 being used with base rails on the 2011 F350 Super Duty. They have listed as compatible with most base rail kits. I find no exceptions...

  • Replacement Trailer Connector and Factory Wiring Harness for a 2000 Ford F-250
  • The Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness part # 118243 is indeed a fit for a 2000 Ford F-250. It will replace the 7-way trailer connector as well as part of the trailer wiring harness from the square pigtail onward. I would not have any options to replace any part of the factory trailer wiring harness up to the square pigtail.

  • Can I Use a B&W Companion For OEM Pucks in a Reese Elite Under Bed Mounting Rail Kit
  • In this case, the Reese Elite systems are created the same and I do believe that the system you've got in a 2011 Chevy Silverado is going to be the same as the one that's in the 2011 Ford; that system is designed to recreate the Ford OEM pucks similar to the way the # RP30126 will. For this reason you should be able to use the B&W Companion for Ford OEM pucks # BWRVK3300. I would measure the distances between the pucks and if they're exactly the same 13" x 30" then you can use that # BWRVK3300...

  • Troubleshooting Stuck Latch Pin to Remove B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
  • I reached out to B&W regarding the issue you are having trying to remove the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500 and was told that on occasion the pin becomes bent when the bolt is torqued down, and what you will need to do is drive it out from the passenger side. They said it is a possibility that the pin has become bent, and sometimes if it is not fully engaged when it is installed, this can occur, and if you can drive the pin out you'll be able confirm this was the issue.

  • You can use the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness, # C55243, or the Tow Ready Replacement 7-Way Harness, # 118243, on your 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty.

  • Recommended Air Helper Spring Kit For 2007 Ford F-250 W/ Gooseneck Hitch
  • For your 2007 Ford F-250 with a gooseneck hitch I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2400 if your truck is 4WD, or the # F2398 if your truck is 2WD as they are the only option for your truck with an in-bed hitch. These kits both have a 5000lb load leveling capacity which is the most common option as the only weight from a trailer that counts towards this is the tongue weight, and most people are not carrying 5000lbs in the bed of their...

  • Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer Level With Truck That Has Lift Kit
  • It is always a good idea to tow a trailer as level as possible. The best way to determine what height fifth wheel hitch you need is to take a couple measurements. With a lift kit on your F-350 it can make hauling a fifth wheel trailer level more difficult to accomplish. You want to park the trailer and truck on level ground. Measure the distance from the floor of the truck bed to the ground and then measure the distance from the bottom of the pin box skid plate to the ground. The difference...

  • Will a Reese 5th Wheel Slider Trailer Hitch Fit in Curt Above the Bed Rails in a 2004 Ford F-250
  • First, the Curt above the bed rails and installation kit like # C16443-104 for a 2004 Ford F-250 short bed, will accept the Reese slider as long as it is the type of hitch that does fit in above the bed rails. I recommend that you do not fabricate the gooseneck hitch to work in the 5th wheel install kit because neither component has been tested for this application and that makes the capacity unknown for 5th wheel or gooseneck towing. The solution is to use a gooseneck plate in the above...

You will need to drill and mount this plate to a sturdy location on the frame of the truck and you'll want to source the mounting hardware locally, since this plate does not come with any included.
