Expert Answers about Ford F-450 Super Duty


  • What is the Difference Between the Fulton HD50000101 and the etrailer MJSQ-2500B?
  • Though these two jacks do look to be nearly identical, there is one fairly large difference, and one lesser of one as well. The large one being the weight capacities they can handle. The # HD50000101 is rated up to 5,000 pounds, whereas the # MJSQ-2500B is rated up to 2,500 pounds. So it is mostly the internals that are different, which is why they look like each other. The smaller difference is how the cranks attach to the jack. The # HD50000101 has a gear box, for the lack of a better...

  • Comparing B&W Companion 20K and 25K 5th Wheel Hitches for 2020 Ford F-450 with OEM Pucks
  • There actually are no drawbacks to using the 25K B&W Companion # BWRVK3305 instead of the 20K B&W Companion # BWRVK3300. The price is higher, yes, but the 25K only has a shipping weight that is 10 more pounds than the 20K. The hitch head is actually very easy to remove which just the weight of the hitch in about half making it little easier to install/remove. Since both fit the OEM puck system on your 2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty I recommend going with the 25K for the exact reasons that...

  • Comparing Goose Box to 5th Wheel Pin Box and Hitch Regarding Articulation and Capacity
  • The Reese Goose Box # RP94720 has an integrated air back and shock system that will help on rough terrain. It works very much the same as some pin boxes like the Trailair Flex Air- 21,000 lbs # RP85FR. The issue you will find is that your trailer weight given is greater than the pin boxes we carry. The Goose Box is only rated for 20K and our pin boxes max at 21K. For the capacity you are seeking, I recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch- 25,000 lbs # C16180 which has a fully...

  • Comparing B&W Companion 20K and 25K 5th Wheel Hitches for 2020 F-450 with OEM Puck System
  • That's a really good question. The B&W Companion 20K # BWRVK3300 or B&W Companion 25K # BWRVK3305 are great choices your 2020 Ford F-450 with 8 foot bed and factory puck system. The 20K will be enough to tow you current 18K trailer with out any problems, however if you are wanting to tow a bigger trailer I would recommend the 25K. The advantage to having a hitch rated higher than your trailer is the peace of mind knowing that it can handle the load and have the option to pull something...

  • Difference Between Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kits for a 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty
  • There are actually 2 possible Curt 5th wheel installation kits that will fit your 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty. The only difference between them is the finish. The Carbide finish on the installation kit you have reference, # C16448-204, is more of a matte (not shiny) finish. The other option is the Glossy finish, # C16448-104. As the name suggests it is shiny. Both of these kits are compatible with the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16245. This hitch has the more matte finish so if...

  • Comparing B&W Companion and Demco Hijacker for 2017 Ford F-450 with Factory Rail Kit
  • The B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3300 and the Demco Hijacker UMS # DM8550033, both of which are confirmed to fit the factory rail kit on your 2017 Ford F-450, are a couple of the best hitches currently on the market. You honestly would not go wrong with either option. Between the two models, I give a slight edge to the B&W Companion # BWRVK3300. B&W hitches are widely considered to be the most reliable hitches available. This hitch features 1 inch thick dual jaws (compared...

  • Comparing the Curt A25 to the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The Curt Q25 # C16265 had some issues with the jaws that the company corrected, so you shouldn't have any issues. The A25 # C16180 came on the market with stronger materials and a different jaw design that interlocked and came with a lifetime limited warranty versus the 10 year limited warranty of the Q25. The Q25 has an axial bearing that allows head movement 360 degrees, so it is able to function differently. The Q25 has easy 2 pin head removal. The A25 has easy 1 pin head removal....

  • What is Difference Between BAK Revolver X2 and X4 Tonneau Covers
  • The only difference between the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39311 and the X4 # BAK79311 that fits your 2016 Ford F-450 is that the X4 has a matte black finish and the X2 having a gloss black finish. Aside from the X4 having more of a rugged look there are no other differences between these covers. It's really just an aesthetic difference.

  • Comparing The Convert-A-Ball Goosneck Adapter To The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter - 12" to 16" Tall - 20,000 lbs, # CAB-C5G, is a good adapter, but every adapter has it's weak points. They add unnecessary stress to your hitch and trailer frame and some manufacturers recommend adapters like this not be used with their pin boxes, but they do work well for the weekend getaway from time to time as long as the manufacturer approves its use. The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs, # BWRVK3500-5W,...

  • Comparing RedArc BCDC Charger to Standard 7-Way 12V Battery Charge
  • On a typical 7-way, the 12V power coming from that connection will give you a maintenance charge to your trailer battery of 2-4 amps. This is the additional amperage coming from your alternator that is not being used by your vehicle at the time. This normally will only allow your battery to charge to about 80 percent as well. When you use a charger like the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D that power supply will be amplified to 25 amps and will provide you with...

  • What is Difference Between B and W Companion Hitch for Ford Bases RVK3300 and RVK3305
  • I can confirm that difference between the # BWRVK3300 and the # BWRVK3305 is not the head and is the construction of the base of the hitch, which is where you get the difference in capacities between the two hitches. The 3300 is only rated for 20,000-lbs where the 3305 is rated to pull 25,000-lbs. B and W didn't get specific but essentially the base is made a little more heavy duty with thicker steel used in areas.

  • Comparing Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE and RV Rider Bike Rack
  • The # HLY84FR and # HLY64FR share many similarities but there are 2 key differences aside from the price. The first is the way the bikes are secured. Although both are frame mount bike racks, the Sport Rider uses your standard ratcheting hooks while the RV Rider has padded clamps. Both work well, but the clamps are handy for bikes with alternative frames since they can attach to the frame or seat post. The other major difference is the compatibility. Both work with a motorhome, but the...

  • What is the Difference Between the B&W RVK3300 vs RVK3305
  • I can confirm for you that there is a difference between the # BWRVK3300 and the # BWRVK3305 with the construction of the base of the hitch, which is where you get the difference in capacities between the two hitches. The 3300 is only rated for 20,000-lbs where the 3305 is rated to pull 25,000-lbs. They do look the same, but the difference will be in the construction and stiffness of the base on the two hitches. Both of these hitches are designed to fit in the factory pucks on Ford trucks,...

  • Comparing B&W Companion and Curt PowerRide For 2023 Ford F-450 With Factory Puck/Prep Bed Mounts
  • Personally I prefer the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305 over the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR. With that said the Curt is rated for 30,000lbs while the B&W is only rated up to 25,000lbs so if you need to tow a trailer weighing over 25,000lbs you will want to go with the Curt. I prefer the B&W as it is made in the USA and has the quality B&W is known for. While Curt does not have a bad reputation I do not like the Wear Plates # C52WR on the Curt and if they...

  • Comparing Transfer Tank to Auxiliary Tank for 2017 Ford F-450
  • I reached out to the manufacturer and the DZ91752 is a transfer tank meaning its purpose is to transfer fuel from the station to the jobsite. The # DZ91752x is an auxiliary tank meaning its purpose is to be a second fuel tank for your vehicle itself. The function is the difference between the two as the dimensions and materials are the same. If you will be using the Auxilary tank, you will also want the Connector Kit for DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank - Later Model Chevy/GMC, Dodge,...
