Expert Answers about Ford Transit T250


  • Portable Heater Options for Camper Van
  • It's always a good idea to think ahead. The Flex-a-lite Mojave Vehicle Heater # FLX640 is more of a permanent installation so if you plan on moving the heater frequently we'll want to look at something else like part # RA3501 that uses a bolt-on installation, but it's small enough that you should be able to move it around and secure it to a variety of locations. I'm attaching a link to our selection of heaters that are normally used for camper applications. Some of them use 12V power while...

  • 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller Installation 2020 Ford Transit T250
  • Although a plug and play 7-way option isn't available for models of the 2020 Ford Transit 250 that aren't equipped with the tow package, you can still wire your vehicle with a 4-pole and a 7-way. You'll begin by installing a 4-pole harness, using part # C56327 which plugs inline between the vehicle taillight wiring harnesses and the taillight assemblies. You'll need to run a 12-v power feed to the battery to power the harness. The install procedure is shown in the linked video. For trailers...

  • Parts Needed to Add a P3 Brake Controller to a 2016 Ford Transit T250 or Transit Connect
  • For the 2016 model year Ford had both a Transit Connect and a Transit T250 but in either case there isn't a wiring harness to plug in a brake controller so one will have to be hardwired in. It is not all that difficult at all; just a lot of running wires to various places on the vehicle. With the Transit Connect you would first need to install a 4-Way # C56327 (if you don't have one already) and then install # ETBC7 which will add the 7-Way and provide the wiring for a brake controller....

  • Availability of Trailer Hitches and Trailer Wiring for a 2017 Ford Transit T250 Cab and Chassis
  • We do have a wiring kit for your 2017 Ford Transit T250, but as of yet (January 2024) we do not have any confirmed fits for a trailer hitch receiver or 5th wheel hitch option for your cab and chassis model. We can provide you with all of the wiring you will need for a 7-way. For that you will need the Curt T-Connector # C56327 and the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. That will be everything you need to add a brake controller like the Tekonsha P3 # 90195.

  • Fixed Trailer Hitch Ball Mount Needed That Has 12" Of Drop
  • If you're after a more traditional fixed ball mount, the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC12 will work if your trailer coupler is 26" and your receiver height is 14". This ball mount provides 12" of drop, 10-3/4" of rise, and 7,500-lbs of gross towing weight. If it's greater than 26", I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-316. This ball mount offers 12-1/2" of drop, a 10,000-lbs gross towing capacity, and has 6 integrated receiver tubes...

  • 4-Pole Flat Wiring Harness for 2018 Ford Transit T250 For Use with Lighted Hitch Cargo Carrier
  • I recommend the Curt T-Connector 4-Pole Flat Wiring Kit # C56327 for your 2018 Ford Transit T250 because we have found their wiring products to be very reliable. This harness installs by plugging in at the T250's tail light housings and by running one wire up to the engine compartment for a power connection at the battery. The plugs on the harness simply get sandwiched in between the light and the OEM wiring, as shown in the linked diagram. I have linked a video and a helpful article to...

  • What Bike Rack Solution do You Recommend for Transporting 4 Electric Bikes?
  • I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR, there is no available add-on or 4-bike option for additional e-bikes. With that being said, the best option is the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # NV22G-NA22G. The Kuat accommodates fat bikes with tires up to 5 inches wide and includes a wheel-mounting attachment style that avoids having to purchase additional bike frame adapter bars if you plan to transport women's-style...

  • What Do I Need To Install A 7 Way And 4 Flat Plug On A 2018 Ford Transit T250?
  • If your vehicle already has the factory tow package, all you would need is a plug like the Curt # C55774. This would just plug in to the existing connector and give you the 4 flat and 7 way plug. If you do not have the factory tow package we can still set you up, but a bit more will be involved. First you will need the # C56327 for your 4 flat connector. Next we would get you the universal install kit # ETBC7. This kit will include everything you need to upgrade the existing 4 pin connection...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2022 Ford Transit T250
  • The Tekonsha # TK90160 Primus brake controller you'd looked at is a good place to start. The reasonably-priced brake controller would work great for you. You'll also need a functional 4 pole trailer connector to access the taillight wiring circuits for the trailer. I'd recommend the Hopkins # HM11140244. In addition to that, you'll need our # ETBC7 brake controller install kit. The kit includes everything needed but the brake controller itself and the functional 4 pole trailer connector....

  • Bike Rack And Bike Cover For 2 Rattan LM750 E-Bikes On A Micro Minnie Travel Trailer
  • I recommend going with the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR, which is capable of 70-lbs each bike and is rated for travel trailer use, so you can use this with your Micro Minnie. However, since your E-bikes have larger tires, you'll need to use the Fat Tire Adapter Kit # S64679 which will accommodate tires up to 5" thick. Finally, for a bike cover, we have the Swagman Bike Cover for RVs # S24FR, which will cover 2 large bikes or cruisers, and will easily install onto...

  • 8 Inch Hitch Extender For 2 Inch Hitch That With Less Than 4-1/2 Inches of Depth
  • We do have an 8 inch hitch extender for a 2 inch hitch that has less than 4-1/2 inches of depth from the center of the hitch pin hole rearward, from Curt: - Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # C45791 This extender measures just 2 inches from the center of its rear hitch pin hole to the back of the extender, so it will allow you to have the needed 4-1/2 inches of clearance. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.

  • Trailer Wiring Needed for a 2017 Ford Transit T250
  • If your 2017 Ford Transit T250 came with the factory tow package then you simply need the Hopkins # HM40975 to add both a 7-Way and a 4-Way connector. This will plug into the US Car Connector at the rear of your Transit. We also have kits that can be used if your Transit doesn't have the factory tow package. For basic trailer lighting functions use the Curt T-Connector # C56327 which plugs into connectors behind the tail lights on your Transit and are powered through the 12V lead that...

  • How To Keep My 5 Bike Rack From Flexing My etrailer Hitch On My 2019 Ford Transit T250
  • Before switching over to class 4 trailer hitch like The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14012, I recommend using The Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories # 18050. Using these straps will provide extra support for your hitch receiver when you use a hitch-mounted bike rack. It will help limit the torque placed on the hitch receiver by the bike rack. Using this strap will evenly distribute the weight to stabilize the hitch accessory and to prevent bouncing. You're...

  • Which Jounce Bumper Replacement Helper Spring for 2021 Ford Transit T250 Camper Conversion
  • If your 2021 Ford Transit T250 is a high roof model, the Timbren # TFRTR350 you'd looked at would be a fit. This being said, the Timbren # TFRTR350 which provide a combined 5600 lb capacity would provide a pretty harsh ride, which I'm not certain you'd be happy with. Instead, I'd recommend the SumoSprings # SSR-121-54 which bolt to the frame above the rear axle, replacing the factory bump stops. The SumoSprings have a combined 2800 lb rated capacity, and are constructed of a more pliable...

  • Recommended Air Helper Springs For A 2020 Ford Transit T250 With 6 Inch Lift
  • When installing Air Helper Springs on your 2020 Ford Transit T250 with a 6 inch lift I recommend The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88213. The Sumo Spring option # SSR-121-54 will not work because there is not way to get it to work with the 6 inch lift. The Airlift # AL88213 has a 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber air spring which is very durable. The load-leveling capacity is up to 5,000 pounds, and the adjustable air pressure...
