  • Is There a 1-1/4 inch Hitch Available for a 2014 Ford Transit Connect
  • For your 2014 Ford Transit Connect there is a Curt Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch available for your vehicle. For that you would want the part # C12123. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.

  • Could Curt Hitch for 2014 Ford Transit Connect Carry Motorcycle Carrier
  • The Curt hitch part # C13167 that you referenced has a tongue weight capacity of 525 lbs so as long as the carrier you are wanting to go with weighs less than 125 lb this would work great. With that much weight on the rear of the vehicle suspension enhancement like the part # CSS-1145R would be a great option to prevent sag. I attached a link on this page that will help you find a local installer as well.

  • Recommended Tire Chains For a 2014 Ford Transit Connect With 215/55R16 Tires
  • I recommend selecting the Konig Easy Fit Tire Chains # TH04115095 for your 2014 Ford Transit Connect. These chains meet all the restrictions given by Ford in your owners manual. They also are some of the easiest tire chains to install and use when it is cold out. The unique design allows you to quickly place them on the tires and the storage bag provides you with a dry place to kneel while you are installing them

  • Recommended Anti-Sway Bars for 2021 Thor Axis 25.6 on Ford E-450 Chassis
  • For your 2021 Thor Axis on Ford E450 Chassis, you will want the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-147 and the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-176. The rear anti-sway bar is the biggest impact because the enhanced stability greatly impacts the body roll and the rear axle positioning requires more stabilizing overall. The front anti-sway is the next thing we recommend adding as it helps keep the front end more stable which helps with steering as well but this is the second...

  • Mounting Tool Box and Changing to Larger Tires on Lees-ure Lite Camper
  • You could potentially mount a trailer tongue toolbox like the White Buyers Products # 3371701679 to a pole tongue like what's on your Lees-ure Lite Camper but it's going to require some custom/fabricated brackets. You would need to first come up with a plate wide enough to support the toolbox base and then either bolt or weld it to the tongue. Honestly your best option to create some more cargo space for tools or other items would be to mount a small chest or even a cargo bag like the...

  • Replacement Trailer Ramp Retaining Pins
  • I don't believe we have an exact match but we do have pins that you could potentially retro-fit to your trailer such as # F719-182Z104. The benefit of this design is that you can't lose the pins. I have included a link below to this and other options that are similar.

  • What PSI Does Vent Cap of DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank Release Pressure
  • I spoke with my contact at DeeZee and the cap of the DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank # DZ91752X that you referenced starts to vent at 4 psi. I also showed them the picture you sent in and they said they weren't able to give directions on how it should be wired or installed as it's not one of their pumps. You shouldn't have to vent the tank beyond the cap it already has though.

  • How To Use a Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier on a 2020 Ford Transit Connect
  • In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898 on a 2020 Ford Transit Connect you will need a crossbar at least 53" long. That said, I do not believe a Ford Transit Connect comes with a factory roof rack so you can either go the aftermarket route or though the dealer which is the same as the aftermarket route though you will pay more. I recommend the aftermarket route; Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711420, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT3032 if you have...

  • Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 2015 Ford Transit Connect
  • When it comes to a roof rack for your 2015 Ford Transit Connect, as long as it is equipped with factory installed rails that run front to back you can use the Thule Roof Rack, # TH712400 for crossbars, # TH710601 for the legs, and # TH186032 for the fit kit. This is compatible with the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs, # Y04069. If you need a roof rack for a Transit Connect that is not equipped with the rails that run front to back then you can use the same crossbars...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ford Transit Connect for Installing Thule Hullavator
  • We have just what you'd need to install the Thule Hullavator # TH898 on the roof of your 2017 Ford Transit Connect with a naked roof. You will need a roof rack that has crossbars that run from left to right. For that the Thule Aeroblade roof rack part numbers # TH711420, # TH460R, and # THKIT3032 would be what you need. This rack is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and will attach to the factory fixed mounting points that you have on the roof of your vehicle

  • Recommended Yakima Rooftop Cargo Box Compatible With Thule Roof Rack on 2011 Ford Transit Connect
  • The Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y07337 will fit crossbar spreads up to 42 inches and is the maximum distance on center. Your current Thule AeroBlade roof rack system has a crossbar spacing of 39 inches according to Thule with a capacity of 165 lbs max. Because it uses the factory mounting locations, this box will fit and is my recommendation for your roof. Thule roof boxes max out at 36-7/8 inches crossbar spread with the Thule Motion XT Rooftop...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2020 Ford Transit 350HD Service Body
  • There is not a custom fit option for your 2020 Ford Transit 350 Cutaway Cab and Chassis. My recommendation for your trailer hitch is the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41991-07.

  • Does Tekonsha Trailer Wiring # 118613 Have to Run to Battery of 2017 Ford Transit Connect
  • It's very tempting to get the 12 volt power source for the trailer wiring # 118613 from the outlet you mentioned on your 2017 Ford Transit Connect but we cannot recommend this as the reason it needs to run up to the vehicle battery is so that it bypasses any factory wiring and protects it in the event of a short. That way if something were to happen on your trailer wiring any short created would have no effect on the vehicle wiring.

  • Plug And Play Trailer Wiring For 2015 Ford Transit Connect

This kit will allow you the basic light functions on your trailer and the install is straight forward and nearly plug and play. Below you will find a review and installation video of the wiring harness. To add a 7 way to the vehicle, I recommend the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Item # ETBC7....

  • How Can I Carry A Canoe On My 2021 Ford Transit Connect
  • The Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs - Rear Loading - Clamp On, part # MPG113MD, carries kayaks by cradling the hull. Canoes should be carried upside down. Kayak carriers are not designed to conform to the shape of a canoe, so you could damage the hull. The safest way to transport a canoe is on its gunwales. The Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Gunwale Brackets - Side Loading - Clamp On, part # MPG112MD, is a good option for carrying a canoe....

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Ford Transit Connect
  • We have many roof rack options for your 2010 Ford Transit Connect, but the roof rack that I recommend is the Thule WingBar Roof Rack. This roof rack includes the Thule WingBars, # TH711200 for silver or # TH711220 for black, which are one of the quietest crossbars on the market that do not sacrifice strength. The Podium Foot Pack, # TH460R, and the Fit Kit, # THKIT3021, were specifically designed to mount on the roof of your vehicle.

  • Hitch Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier on a 2016 Ford Transit Connect Wagon
  • I have a possible solution for you, but I don't recommend carrying your Thule bike rack with an aluminum carrier, even though its technically possible. You could use a part like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver, part # RM-077-8, which offers an 8 inch rise and would give you two 2 inch receiver hitches to work with. The top one would absolutely have to be the bike rack, while the bottom would be your cargo carrier's shank. You would then use an extender in the bottom port to clear most...
