Expert Answers about Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty


  • Is There a Front Hitch for a 2003 Ford F-250 Available With 1000-lbs Vertical Load Limit
  • I may have a solution for you to add a front hitch to your 2003 Ford F-250, but there is not a front hitch available that has the ability to carry over 500-lbs tongue weight. With that said, if you still wanted to add one you could use the Draw-Tite # 65022 to add a front hitch and it would give you a durable front hitch with 500-lbs of vertical load strength. I've linked a review and installation video of this hitch for you to check out, but it would be the available solution with the...

  • Availability of 5th Wheel Install Brackets and Hardware for 2005 Ford F-350 With Long Bed
  • I have a solution for you, but we do not recommend mixing base rails and frame brackets from different manufactures. Unfortunately Valley went out of business, so we do not have any frame brackets or hardware available. Instead, I recommend installing a new fifth wheel base rail and frame bracket kit on your truck like the Reese Custom Fit Install Kit, # RP50082-58. Your Valley 16K hitch will be compatible with the Reese base rails, so you will have no problem there. This kit has everything...

  • Can Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate VG-97-100 Be Painted White to Match Truck
  • For your 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup most of our 5th wheel tailgates are black powder-coated steel like the Stromberg Carlson # VG-97-100 that you referenced. We also offer plastic composite models; all can be seen on the linked page. None is offered in a white finish but you certainly might have a new automotive paint finish applied by a qualified painter who has the appropriate type of paint. This is actually going to give you a better finished result since it will allow an exact...

  • Glacier Square Link Tire Chains for Tire Sizes LT325/65R18 and ST235/65R16
  • The two pages I linked for you display the tire chains that fit your LT325/65R18 truck tires and your ST235/65R16 trailer tires. For the ST235/65R16 trailer tires we have Glacier Square Link chains # PWH2329SLC or Titan Chain # TC1555. The latter is an S-Class chain that requires less clearance within the wheel well. If fender clearance is not an issue on the trailer either chain can be used for on-road use only. For the Ford we have square-link chains from Pewag (parent company of Glacier)...

  • Wiring Harness with Square Connector for 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • Thank you for the photo of your Ford F-250's trailer wiring that has a square OEM connector o one end and both 4-pole and U.S. Car (round) connectors on the other end. We do not have this exact part (it may be OEM) but we do have wiring items with that square connector, such as 7-way # 40167 and 4-poles # C55265. These could be piggy-backed together to give you both connectors active at once. If you prefer you could use # 40167 and splice in a 4-pole like # C58044.

  • Custom Gauge Pillar for the Gauge for Air Lift Suspension on a 2006 Ford F-350 King Ranch
  • The gauge size in Air Lift kits like # AL25856 is designed to fit most custom pillar pods or dash mounts but they do not offer custom pillars or pods. The kits do come with a small pad the gauge fits in that can be mounted on the dash. For a 2006 Ford F-350 you can use Air Lift system # AL57212. A company called AutoMeter makes some custom gauge pillars that might work for you.

  • The best solution we have for you is to swap out the base of your Companion hitch with the part # BWRVB3300 which will attach to the Ford rail kit of your truck and allow you to use your current Companion head. Aside from that theres no other way to adapt a Companion to a Ford rail kit.

  • Availability of Reese Goosebox Compatible with Fabex 520 Fifth Wheel Pin Box
  • I'm sorry to say that Reese doesn't make a Goosebox that's compatible with your existing pin box. If you're wanting to pull a fifth wheel trailer using a truck that's already equipped with a gooseneck hitch, there are plenty of options. If your gooseneck hitch is a B&W brand Turnover Ball, I'd recommend the # BWRVK3500 Companion for long bed trucks or the sliding version, part # BWRVK3400 for a short bed Ford Super Duty. The Demco Recon # DM8550045 might also be a good alternative. There...

  • Availability of Install Kit to Install Valley Fifth Wheel Hitch on 2007 Ford F250 Super Duty
  • To measure the length of your truck bed, measure from the front of the bed rearward to the rear edge of the bed (not the end of the tailgate). If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed, you will need to use a sliding fifth wheel hitch to provide additional clearance between the front of the trailer and the rear of the cab during low speed maneuvering. Failure to use a sliding hitch on a short bed truck could cause the front of the trailer to strike the rear of the truck cab during turns. The fifth...

  • Is There A Front Mounted Hitch For 2006 Ford F-350 Located Under The Bumper?
  • On your 2006 Ford F-350, we only have one front mount hitch option compatible with your truck. It is the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65022 that like you mentioned comes out through the bumper instead of underneath it. That is your only option for a front mounted hitch on your truck, but it is a cleaner fit with better ground clearance.

  • Extra Long Ball Mount to Allow Installation of Towtector Debris Guard on F-350
  • It sounds like you are looking for a longer ball mount to use in your hitch to allow installation of the Towtector debris guard. I have linked you to our page for extra long 2-inch 10K ball mounts. For a 2-inch size we offer the Brophy # BH20 which measures 13-1/4-inches from the center of hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole and either 3/4-inch rise or 2-inch drop. There are longer ball mounts but they do not have the 10K rating you need.

  • 7-Way Wiring for 2003 Ford F-350 Longbed for Lance Slide-In Truck Camper
  • We do have 7-way wiring harnesses intended for use in the bed of a pickup for either a slide-in camper or a 5th wheel trailer. Harness # C56000 that you referenced is a suitable option. This kit plugs right in at your bumper-mounted factory 7-way (which will remain fully active, by the way) and provides 10-feet of additional slack to let you plug in your Lance camper. This harness uses a round U.S. Car connector. There are no similar harness options that plug-in at the front of the vehicle.
