Expert Answers about Ford F-350, 450, and 550 Cab and Chassis


  • Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2012 Ford F-350 w/ Prep Package
  • Thanks for the picture! Based on the dimensions it looks like you have the 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package on your 2012 Ford F-350. For hauling your 2009 Jayco Recon ZX M-39 A, I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP30921. This heavy-duty hitch has a wraparound jaw that offers superior jaw-to-king-pin contact for maximum security and minimum rattle. It has a 20,000 lbs weight capacity. The M5 will attach directly into the four receiver pucks that...

  • Recommended Cover for 14 Foot Long Cargo Trailer
  • For a cover that can be used on a cargo trailer that is 7 x 14 you can use a pop-up camper cover like the Adco Polypropylene RV Cover for Pop-Up Camper - Up to 16' Long - Gray # 290-2894; this will work on a trailer that is up to 42" tall. This would be a much better solution than the Adco SFS AquaShed Cover for Bumper Pull Trailer - Up to 14' Long - Gray # 290-46003 as long as you don't have an enclosed utility trailer. If you've got an enclosed trailer, then the # 290-46003 you were looking...

  • Plug Or Cover For 4 Inch Hole In The Bed Of My 2010 Ford Super Duty Truck
  • We don't have a puck cover like # RP30136 that has a 4 inch internal dimension. Most underbed gooseneck systems required a 4 inch hole cut for the unit, but that included the outside ring of the system and sometimes trim as well as the hole for the ball. It sounds like there was an underbed gooseneck system installed. For instance, the 2010 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs, # BWGNRK1108, required...

  • Trailer Hitch for Ambulance on 2000 Ford E450 Cutaway Van Chassis
  • We don't offer a custom hitch for the 2000 E450 Cutaway, because the configuration of the back bumper in regards to the frame members is different than the cargo van. You'll need a weld-on universal hitch, like part # 15901. The hitch has a 3 inch drop, which means that in order for it to fit on your ambulance, the vertical distance between the the underside of the frame member and the bottom of the bumper needs to be less than 3 inches, or the bumper will be in the way of the receiver...

  • Which Front Hitch and Suspension Enhancement for 2012 Coachman Freelander RV with E-350 Chassis
  • It looks like the 2012 Coachman Freelander RV was built on an E350 chassis, so you'll want to use the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65053, which is designed to fit on the front of the E-350 RV chassis. This is a custom fit hitch designed specifically for this vehicle that has a 500-lbs vertical load limit, so you'll want to be sure that your scooter and carrier stay under that weight combined.

  • For your 2008 Ford F550, you'd need the Tekonsha # 3034-P brake control harness to install a # 90195 Tekonsha P3 brake controller.

For a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. This is one of our most popular controllers because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable. It is a proportional controller and can be mounted a full 360 degrees in the direction of travel. It is also compatible with electric over hydraulic braking systems and regular electric...

  • Is Titan BrakeRite SD Adapter Needed With Electric Over Hydraulic Compatible Brake Controller
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy P3, part # 90195 is compatible with electric over hydraulic braking systems once it's set to its EOH mode. You'd only need the # T4845900 adapter if your truck had the factory installed Ford brake controller. If the trailer will be towed by other Ford or Chevy vehicles that have the factory brake controllers installed, you would use the # T4845900 adapter. If the other vehicles have an aftermarket electric over hydraulic compatible brake controller installed, you...

  • Nerf Bar Mounting Hardware For A 2001 F-350, 450, and 550 Cab And Chassis
  • Nerf bars, and their hardware are vehicle and brand specific. In order to determine what replacement hardware you'd need, I'd need to know the make and model of the nerf bars, and, It would help to know what the vehicle it came off is, because there is a chance that the nerf boards won't even be compatible with your vehicle. We do have plenty of selection of nerf boards that are guaranteed to fit your vehicle like the Westin Nerf Bars # 25-1325. These nerf bars are cab length, 3" wide,...

  • Recommended Anti-Sway Bar for 2006 Fleetwood Bounder Gas Engine on Ford F53 Chassis
  • I did a little bit of research and it looks like 2006 Fleetwood Bounder with a gas engine was built on a Ford F53 chassis like you mentioned, so the correct rear anti-sway bar for your rig with a GVWR of 20,500-lbs is the Roadmaster # RM-1139-143. It should be noted that the factory u-bolt may not be long enough for the factory nut, washer and 1/2" plate when used with this bar. If that is the case, if you have square top u-bolts will need # RM-590050-00, and if you have round top u-bolts...
