  • How To Haul Multiple Ladders On The Roof Of A 2016 Ford Transit Connect
  • I have two options for you to consider in order to carry a ladder/ladders on the roof of your 2016 Ford Transit Connect. One of which is designed specifically for ladders and will require you to remove your current factory side rails whereas the other will not. My recommendation for hauling a ladder/ladders will depend on the amount of time you will be hauling the ladders on your vehicle. For daily ladder hauling, I recommend using the TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder Rack part # TH29611XT...

  • Is etrailer Trailer Hitch a Good Option for a 2019 Ford Transit Connect
  • Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77AR is a great option for your 2019 Ford Transit Connect because it has a matte black finish that blends in with any black trim on your vehicle plus it does a better job at hiding any scratches from road debris than what we find with the glossy finish. Attached is an installation video as well as a photo showing this installed on a 2019 Transit Connect for you to check out.

  • Rhino Rack RR32132 Sun Seeker Awning Compatibility with Rhino Rack Heavy Duty Crossbars
  • It will be compatible, as the Rhino Rack # RR32132 awning is compatible with Rhino Rack crossbars that have the slots in the top of the crossbars. Since the crossbars used by the Rhino Rack heavy duty roof rack you asked about, part # RLZ01-DC has the slots in them, the awning and crossbars will work together perfectly without need of an adapter. I've linked you to a demonstration video for the awning and an install video for the roof rack.

  • Class III Trailer Hitch Fit on 2015 Ford Transit Connect with Long Wheel Base
  • My contacts at Draw-Tite verified that their 2-Inch Class III hitch # 75852 is confirmed to fit on the long wheelbase version of your 2015 Ford Transit Connect. I linked an install video for the similar Curt hitch # C13167 - also a confirmed fit. For a wiring harness for towing you can use the Tow Ready 4-pole wiring kit # 118613. The recommended ball mount # C45030 can be used with a ball that has a 1-inch shank, such as 2-inch ball # 63845.

  • Can Curt Trailer Wiring Harness be Installed on a 2014 Ford Transit Connect with LED Lights
  • Ford probably thinks that the trailer wiring harness # C56218 draws all of the power it needs through the tail light wiring. But it doesn't. This harness powers the trailer lights from the vehicle battery and only uses the tail light connection on the vehicle for the proper signals to send back to the trailer lights. LED tail lights on the vehicle would not pose a problem.

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2012 Ford Transit Connect
  • I have a different option for you, but there is not an air helper spring kit designed to fit your 2012 Ford Transit Connect. The Firestone # F2603 fits the 2013-2021 vans but not yours as 2013 was the first year of the 4th generation, and your 2012 van was the last year of the 3rd generation which has different suspension. For your van I recommend going with the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA29 which offers 1,400lbs of load leveling support, but also...

  • Recommended 4 Flat Harness For A 2016 Ford Transit Connect
  • The powered black converter boxes from Curt are not available separately, so I do recommend replacing it with a custom fit, powered option. We do have the # C56196 converter, but it is not a powered unit. With your 2016 Ford Transit Connect not having enough power to get the lights on a trailer working though, I do not recommend this option. With that being said, these do go out over time and I have found that the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harnesses, like the # 118613, are the superior...

  • Why the Draw-Tite, part # 75678, for a 2010 Ford Transit Connect is a Class III Hitch
  • When a trailer hitch is designed for a certain vehicle they are testing where it can be attached on the vehicle to offer the best towing and tongue weight capacity. In the case of your 2010 Ford Transit Connect, where the hitch attaches to the vehicle would allow it to have the higher Class III rating. It does not mean that you are able to tow 3,500 lbs, that is decided by the vehicles manufacturer. Since your owners manual says no towing capacity, they are referring to other parts on the...

  • Recommended Roof Cargo Box For A 2013 Ford Transit Connect
  • Due to the limited space your only option would be to install some crossbars and use a thinner cargo box like the Yakima DeepSpace 10 Rooftop Cargo Box - 10 cuft - Black # Y65RR to the right of the vent. To know what crossbar feet would fit the track you have on there I would need to know the brand/model or the dimensions of the C-Channel. The # Y65RR mounting points are 13" apart from the front to the back of the box so you wouldn't need that large of a space to install this since you...
