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


  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2002 Class C Winnebago Spirit 24 RV
  • Roof racks are not super popular for Class C motorhomes like your 2002 Winnebago Spirit 24 but I do have a great option that will work really well with the Rhino-Rack System with Aero Crossbars # Y02-490B. This rack will install by first having a track mount to the roof of the motorhome that will then allow you to install a set of sliding aero crossbars. Then for a kayak carrier you could use Thule DockGrip part # TH895 which will fit these bars well and easily give you a way to carry...

  • Yes, the brake controller install harness part # 3035-P that you referenced does plug straight into your Reese Brakeman IV which is the same as the Draw Tite Activator part # 5504.

  • Best Class V Trailer Hitch for a Class C Motorhome
  • I do still have an option for you in the Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch part # 15901 but it sounds like you are looking for a custom fit trailer hitch and none of the trailer hitch manufacturers we offer custom fit them to motorhome chassis. Therefore, you will need to notify the above to work for you. It has a class v rating with adjustable brackets that will accommodate your motorhome with slight alterations. The low profile brackets will also provide you with the flush look...

  • Best Heavy Duty Weight Distribution System For 2001 Ford F-350 Dually Towing a 10,000 Pound Trailer
  • To find the correct weight distribution system, you want to try and get the tongue weight of the trailer to as close to the middle of the systems capacity as possible. This is one of the few cases where bigger is not better as too heavy duty of a system can actually cause more issue than it will solve. With that being said, the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 15,000 lbs GTW, 1,500 lbs TW # C17501 will have a max tongue weight capacity of 1,500 pounds...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2003 Ford F-350 on Ambulance Chassis
  • I might have a solution for you, but we don't have custom hitches for ambulances. I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body (ambulance) truck like yours are multi-fit RV hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 41" Wide 2006 Ford E-450 Chassis With A Starcraft Bus Body
  • Though technically not light duty, I recommend going with a Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch. This will have a 2" receiver opening and the cross tube will measure 44" across, so it will have no issues fitting the 41" frame on your 2006 E-450 chassis. We do have three options available for this hitch and I do have them all listed below. All you will need to do to get the correct one is measure from the bottom of your frame to the bottom of the rear bumper. Flush With Bottom...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2007 Ford F-450 with Service Body
  • Looks like you have a service body truck/van based on your pictures. There are only multi-fit hitches that will fit that type of vehicle. I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body truck like yours are multi-fit RV hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916. I can't recommend the Torklift hitch...

  • Front Hitch Recommendation for 2003 Fleetwood Motorhome Built on Ford F-550 Chassis
  • The Draw Tite hitch part # 65022 is a fit for a 2003 Ford F-550 cab and chassis like what your motorhome is built on. You can verify the fit though by measuring the width of the frame. If your motorhome has a frame that measures 34 inches apart from outside to outside this hitch will fit.

  • Would Peterson Tow Light Kit part # PE26UR Fit 2017 Chrysler Pacifica
  • Yes, I looked up pictures of your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica and the rear hatch of it is compatible with the Magnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connectors - 20' Long Harness # PE26UR that you referenced. If you wanted to mount the lights to the tow dolly instead that's an option as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2007 Ford E-450 Chassis on Old U-Haul Truck
  • Since the frame ends so far short of the bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07. Then you will need to use a hitch extender like # C45795 which will reduce your overall towing capacity to 3,500 lbs and 350 lbs tongue weight but you will still be able to tow any trailer within that range.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for 2006 Cab and Chassis Ford Super Duty
  • There isn't a specific fit for your 2006 Ford Super Duty Cab and Chassis. You would need to use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1500 and weld custom for your truck. Another option is the Buyers Products 2-5/16" Fabricators Flatbed Gooseneck Hitch # 3375613500 which is very similar. Your other option is to use the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP30035 which will also...

  • Floor Mat Recommendation for Thor Fourwinds RV Built on E-450 Chassis
  • Yes, the WeatherTech All-Weather Front Floor Mats # WTW51TN are the correct floor mat for your Thor Fourwinds 28A built on a Ford F-450 Class C cutaway chassis. For black you'd want the # WTW51 or for gray # WTW51GR.

  • 7-Way and Brake Controller Wiring Recommendation for 1999 Ford E-450 Motorhome
  • If you have a totally dead 7-way on your vehicle I'd first check all of the fuse boxes of the vehicle for trailer wiring fuses/relays and fix as needed. You can bypass the factory wiring and install a new 7-way but it will require some splicing and wiring. You'd want to first start with a 4-way so that you can get all of the lighting functions. For that you'd want the part # C59496. Then to convert it to a 7-way and wire in a brake controller you'd want the part # ETBC7 as this comes with...

  • Solution for Needing Replacement 15 Foot Awning for 2006 Coachman
  • For a replacement 15 foot awning you could use the Solera XL 12V power awning part # LCV000334950-362243. We don't have a manual 15 foot awning but this powered awning draws power from your RV battery.

  • Parts Needed To Install Tekonsha Prodigy P3 In 2006 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis
  • To install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 you were looking at in your 2006 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis you will need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3065-P which will plug into the factory trailer brake controller port underneath the dash of your truck, and will not require any splicing to install. Once the adapter is plugged in, all you will need to do is mount the controller and you are ready to get on the road! I included videos for both of the...

  • Recommended Axles, Brakes, Hubs And Drums For 1998 Fourwinns 20 Foot Horizon Boat
  • Dexter does make a 4,000 lb axle, but unfortunately we do not carry them. I do have another option for you though. I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System, # ASR5200S04. This axle-less system has a built in suspension and brake flange. The deflection or suspension travel is 2-3/4 inches. This axle-less system is nice in that it gives you more clearance in-between your wheels. For this system, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2004 Ford E-450 Converted to Bus
  • The problem is that your E-450 is converted to a bus which means the rear frame has been extended and our custom fit hitches are not going to work since they require the non-extended frame. I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body truck like yours are multi-fit hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets...

  • Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for Cab and Chassis Truck
  • The Curt Flat Plate Gooseneck # C65500 is a multi-fit application that can be used on a cab and chassis truck. Typically, the plate would be placed on top of the flat bed over the rear axle. The Universal Rail Kit, part # C61502 can be used to provide the under bed bracing. Holes would be drilled through the plate, through the bed and into the frame members and the rail kit. At least six 1/2 inch grade 5 bolts need to be used to fasten the plate to the rail kit. At this time there...
