Expert Answers about Ford Transit T250


  • Are Modifications Needed to Install etrailer e98843 Class III Hitch on 2020 Ford Transit T250
  • As long as your 2020 Ford Transit T250 isn't an Cab/Chassis or Cutaway Chassis model, the etrailer brand # e98842 hitch would be a fit. 'With ease' is a pretty subjective term. The install won't require any modifications to the vehicle, but installing the two rear-most self-threading bolts on each side is a little challenging, as shown in the linked install video. If you wish, you can use a M12 x 1.75 thread tap to cut threads into the sleeves that are welded into the frame members to...

  • Estimate of How Long it Takes to Install Trailer Hitch and Wiring on 2017 Ford Transit T250
  • The model of vehicle does impact the time it takes to install a trailer hitch and wiring, although for a 2017 Ford Transit T250 a decent ballpark estimate is 1-1/2 to 2 hours. The good news is there is a very simple to install trailer hitch for a '17 Ford Transit T250 Cargo Van or Passenger Wagon so this will take the least amount of time. The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # E98842 can be put installed in roughly 30 minutes for an everyday DIYer; it does not require any drilling to install...

  • Can Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Be Used with Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender
  • The Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ is a great choice for a bike rack and the adapter sleeve that comes with it won't affect the operation of the anti-rattle hitch bolt. The adapter sleeve just takes up more space overall and when you tighten down the bolt it will pull the sleeve against the 2" receiver you have this installed on. Just be sure you kind of wiggle the rack around some while you're tightening the bolt so you get the best fit possible. With that being said, Kuat...

  • Will the Westin HDX Grille Guard # W88XV Interfere with Sensors on My 2021 Ford Transit T250?
  • Even though the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate - Black Powder Coated Steel # W88XV will fit perfectly on your 2021 Ford Transit T250, it will interfere with your lane-changing sensors, adaptive cruise control, and other front sensors. I went ahead and confirmed this with my tech at Westin. However, you should be able to disable these features though in the onboard menu on your vehicle.

  • Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2020 Ford Transit T250
  • For a brake controller for your 2020 Ford Transit T250 I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well. There...

  • Is a Voltage Regulator Required for the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent
  • The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent part # MA00-07500K has a self-resetting fuse on the circuit board which protects the unit for power spikes so there is no need for any additional circuit protection such as a voltage regulator. The power leads will be run straight to the source with nothing in-between.

  • Can the Stromberg Carlson Electric Jack Part # JET-3555 be Ran to the Vehicle's Battery
  • The length of wire needed to attach the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack part # JET-3555 to your vehicle's battery is more than likely causing a substantial loss in power which is why the jack will not work. I recommend installing a 12 volt auxiliary battery on the trailer and use that to power the jack. You can then use the 12 volt power on the trailer connector (7-way only) to provide a maintenance charge for the battery used for the jack. I have attached a review video for you.

  • Recommended Dimmable 3-1/2" RV LED Puck Light
  • Thanks for reaching out! The 12V RV Puck Light # 277-000125 is designed to be connected to a simple switch so it doesn't have the ability to dim. If you go with the Gustafson 12V RV LED Puck Light # 277-000343 instead you'll be able to hook it up to a dimmer since it's built that way. This is the same size and color as the one you're interested in so it will fit your application just fine. Attached are review videos for both lights for you to check out.

  • Installing a Brake Controller on a 2015 Ford Transit T250 with Factory Tow Package
  • To the best of our knowledge there is no plug-in adapter that will work on your 2015 Ford Transit T250. There should be a bundle of wires under the driver side dash that you can connect the adapter that you have picture to. Simply cut off the end that doesn't connect to your brake controller and use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test for the following functions that you can splice your harness to: Blue - Brake Controller Output Black - 12V Power White - Ground Red - COLD Side...

  • Will Anti-Rattle Device Compromise Shock Absorption of Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches
  • I can definitely see why you might think that, but an anti-rattle device is not going to compromise the shock absorption of the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC2. The polyurethane interior of the ball mount will continue to be effective for its intended purpose and reduce vibration, but without an anti-rattle device, the play inside a larger OEM hitch will continue. So with that in mind I definitely recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061 which...

  • Installation of E-Trailer Hitch # e98842 on 2015 Ford Transit T-250 Van
  • The good news is that this isn't the first time that this has happened with the installation of Trailer Hitch # e98842 . I talked to Curt and they mentioned that this can happen if you end up tapping the bolts in too far. Unfortunately the only way to get these bolts out if you can't back them out with a wrench is to either tap them out from above (which there may not be a place to access from above), or drill them out. You may want to cut the heads of the bolts off before drilling just...

  • Installation of Brake Controller on 2020 Ford Transit T250
  • I was able to determine the correct wire for your 2020 Ford Transit T250. You will want to connect the red wire of your Prodigy P3 # 90195 to the brown wire with green tracer. This is the cold side of the brake switch so it will only get signal when the brake pedal is pressed.

  • Roof Opening Dimensions For Installing RV Air Conditioner
  • The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box, # ACM135CH requires an opening of 14-¼” by 14-¼”; this is the unofficial industry standard with a tolerance of +/- about a 1/8”. This is for roofs 2-1/2" to 5" thick. This is the same roof opening dimension to install an air conditioner or vents such as the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, # MA00-07500K.

  • Will Installing the T-Connector Wiring Harness on my 2020 Ford Transit T-250 Void my Warranty
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56327 will not void any warranty you have on your 2020 Ford Transit T250. There was a bill passed that protects consumers from any type of cancellation of warranty when adding aftermarket components such as wiring harnesses. As long as the product you are using did not directly cause the issue there is no voiding that can be done. I have linked an installation video for you if you would like to check it out.

  • Best Options for Installing Brake Controller in a 2020 Ford Transit T250 with 7-Way
  • The easiest solution to add a brake controller to your 2020 Ford Transit T250 that has a 7-way installed already would be with the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow. But if you wanted to install a traditional brake controller like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 that you referenced you still can but you'll need to do some hardwiring. For a wiring kit to install the brake controller to the 7-way you...

  • Does Rear View Safety Third Brake Light # RVS-920 Require Configuration of Transit Computer
  • The Rear View Safety Third Brake Light with Camera # RVS-920 is confirmed to fit your 2015 Ford Transit and it does not require any re-programming on the vehicle's factory computer for operation. This will replace the existing third brake light on the Transit to provide you with a 170-degree viewing angle camera with 6 infrared illumination for night vision. I have attached the written manual for this system that you can check out as well.

  • How To Find Stop Light Switch Wire On 2020 Ford Transit
  • The stop light switch wire on a 2020 Ford Transit that will be needed to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 is violet/white. This wire should only have power while the brake pedal is pressed. The other option would be to obtain the same signal from the third brake light which requires running a wire from the rear of the vehicle to the front. Please note, wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller...
