  • Recommended Offset Gooseneck Coupler for Kiefer Horse Trailer
  • I have a solution for you, and it sounds like you're just looking for either an offset gooseneck ball or offset gooseneck coupler; you may not need it to adapt to a 5th wheel king pin. The Ranch Hitch # AM3139 is a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter and is a single piece, so it's likely not what you need. Instead I would recommend using the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler - 2-5/16" Ball - 10" Offset - 24,000 lbs # BWTEXA4200 which will work on a gooseneck coupler and provide you with 10"...

  • Availability of 5th Wheel Rail Kit for 2014 Ford F350
  • For the 2014 Ford F350, you would use the # RP50026-58 install rails from Reese. If your F350 is a Diesel, the brackets will clear the DEF tank. To install a 7-way in the truck bed, you would need the # C56000 wiring kit. I have linked you to installation instructions for the hitch rail kit as well as the wiring. I have also linked you to some installation videos that you might find helpful. The wiring video shows the kit being installed on a much older truck, but the procedure would...

  • Is there a Class IV or V Hitch Available for a 1989 International S1600
  • We have 2 hitches that might work depending on the specific measurements of your 1989 International. Curt hitches 15901 and 15902 are both weld-on hitches that will fit frames from 18 inches wide to 44 inches wide. The 15901 has a 5 inch drop. The 15902 has a 13-1/2 inch drop. I am not certain if the hitch itself, being 44 inches wide, will interfere with anything else under the vehicle (seeing as it is 10 inches wider than your frame rails). So you will need to check and see if clearance...

  • Availability of an OEM Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector and Wiring Harness for a 2003 Ford F-250
  • While there is not a specific harness for the 2003 Ford F-250 that is an OEM replacement, I do have a solution for you. Since your truck came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector, you can use the Curt 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness, # C56000. Instead of installing it in the bed of the truck, you would just route it to the back. I have included a video link that might help with installation.

  • Availability of Pigtail Hose Without Back-Check
  • We do have the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose # 100019-24 which doesn't have a back-check. This pigtail has a POL fitting on one end and then a 1/4" male inverted flare on the end that connects to your regulator so if you already have an adapter in the regulator you'll need to remove it to use this pigtail. Please note that when used as part of a dual-cylinder setup, this will not be RVIA compliant. The adapter fitting # 204120-MBS would need to be purchased (which has the back-check)...

  • Availability Of Wire Basket E-Track Mounts
  • I have another option for you, but the mounting brackets used to mount a wire basket on an e-track or x-track rail are not sold separately. To mount a basket on your e-track or x-track rails you will want the CargoSmart Wire Basket for E-Track and X-Track Small # 3481720, Medium # 3481719, or Large # 3481718. Each of these options includes the required brackets to mount the baskets to your e-track or x-track rails. I included a video of the CargoSmart Baskets for you to take a look at.

  • Are Fifth Wheel Mounting Rails Available Separately from the Frame Mounting Brackets
  • Since there was an accident involved, I'd closely examine the trucks frame to ensure it's still capable of towing safely. Since the bed rails were damaged, it's extremely likely that the brackets and hardware that join the bed rails to the truck have been damaged or compromised as well. I'd highly recommend replacing the entire installation kit, using part # RP30035. Rails are sold separately, such as the Reese # RP58058 but you'll want to ensure that the base rails and frame brackets...

  • Trailer Connector With 7-Way and 4-Pole That Would Require No Splicing for 2001 Ford F250
  • There is a direct-fit plug and play option, but it would involve purchasing two different connectors and using a few parts from each kit. You would first need the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket, part # HM40975. You would also need the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118243. You would attach the HM40975 to the bumper, and use the pigtail from the 118243 to connect the HM40976 to the connector you located under the vehicle. The fuses and relays included with the...

  • Availability of Base Plates for Towing a 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty and
  • There are two base plate options for your 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The one I recommend is the most common and will accommodate the most options and tow bars. This is the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 4412-1, which has removable draw bars and is designed specifically for your truck. There is also the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit, item # 4412-3, which is also designed for your truck and has removable draw bars. The difference with this kit is that the draw bars will not accept...

  • 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.

  • Is There a Plug-and-Play Replacement OEM 7-Way Harness for the 2003 Ford F-350 6.0 Diesel
  • I confirmed with TowReady that their OEM replacement 7-way harness, part # 118243, fits the Ford F350 for model years 1999 through 2001. They do not offer a replacement plug-and-play harness with 7-way that will directly mate with your gray Ford OEM connector. They indicated that this is available only from Ford. We do offer a TowReady combination 7-way/4-way trailer connector with round plug, part # HM40975, which is a confirmed fit for the 2003 F350 Super Duty. You can use this in conjunction...

  • 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...

  • Mounting Brackets and Hardware Needed To Install RBW Fifth Wheel to 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • If you have the RBW Li'l Rocker base rails I would recommend to use the RBW mounting brackets and bolts to install the hitch into your 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty. I do not sell the RBW line of products. If you have the Reese Universal Base Rails, part # RP58058, you can use the Reese Universal Installation Kit, part # RP30439, to install the Reese base rails to your Ford F-250 truck. The universal kit does require more time and drilling to install when compared to a custom installation...
