  • How To Find Replacement Kwikee Steps For 2000 Dutch Star
  • I'd be happy to help you find the correct replacement Kwikee steps for your 2000 Dutch Star, but the only way to find the correct replacement steps would be finding the part/model number on the steps themselves as there is no database that stores this kind of information. The number you gave me doesn't bring a specific replacement step, so I'll need a number from your steps themselves. The Lippert # LC3722618 you were looking at would be the correct replacement for the Kwikee 908032000...

  • Do Tail Lights on GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604 have a License Plate Light
  • I went out to our demo area and personally checked the lights on the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604. While there isn't a specific white light that shines down on the license plate the red lights for the other functions do illuminate that area slightly so the license plate would not be complete in the dark at night. For greater visibility you could splice in an LED license plate light, # LPL31CB, and be in compliance for sure.

  • Does Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System Require Connection To Vehicle Battery
  • The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR needs power for proper function, so it does require a direct connection to your battery which isn't an issue on your 2015 Ford Flex.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2013 Ford Flex with Dual Exhaust
  • There are trailer hitches available for the 2013 Ford Flex with dual exhaust but they are not rated for 5,000 lbs. The trailer hitches for the Ford Flex with dual exhaust are both rated for 4,000 lbs. The hitches are designed to fit around the dual exhaust system which could be why their rating is a bit lower. It is a good idea to check the owner's manual for how much the vehicle itself is rated to tow because it may be under what either hitch is rated for. I recommend Draw-Tite part #...
