  • Best Brake Controller for a 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway

We also have those straight extenders...

  • Brake Controller Install and Recommendation for 1999 Motorhome on Ford Chassis
  • Is your motorhome on a Ford F450 truck Cab/Chassis or a E450 Van Cutaway Chassis? If it's equipped with a 7-way trailer connector, it'll likely be prewired for a brake controller. On the truck cab/chassis, the brake controller connector which is gray in color would typically be located above the driver's right knee, under the dash. On the van chassis, it would usually be found to the left of the steering column. If the connector is present, it should be a plug and play installation. For...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2005 Jayco Greyhawk GS30 and Flat Tow Items for 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie
  • I always respect the manufacturers posted weight ratings when towing and hauling, I never push to the max and caution against exceeding those ratings. OEM's are required to complete rigorous testing before a vehicle is released for sale, this testing has been developed over decades of process improvements. Personally I prefer to stay at least 10 percent below the max rating for payload, towing and combined weights but I caution against exceeding them in any way. You state "...need to...

  • Floor Mat Options for a 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway
  • For your 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway, I recommend using WeatherTech All-Weather Front Floor Mats part # WTW51 for black, part # WTW51GR for gray, or part # WTW51TN for tan. Like you said, the manufacturer does not recommend using these or the thermoplastic option because you have the vinyl flooring. These recommendations are ruber, and not thermoplastic. The above floor mats are all custom fit options which means they are contoured specifically to match the footwell in your cutaway. I have...

  • Yes, the Pulse Preventer for Electric Brake Controllers # 5501 is exactly what you need to keep the EOH actuator from activating while your hazard lights are on. Hazard lights are tied into the stop light switch just like your Prodigy P2 # 90885 is. That is why the P2 will send a pulse signal when the hazards are activated on your 1997 Ford F-450.
