Correct, the only difference between the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier part # MPG1001 and the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier part # MPG110MD is hardware. The former comes with t-bolts to mount in a channel and the latter comes with wrap around style clamps. view full answer...
The biggest differences between Husky 16K hitch # HT31326-31196 and Curt hitch # C16521 are the slider base, jaws, and head.
The Husky slider base has a lot of moving parts. It is unlike anything else I have seen. I have used it and find it to be a bit complicated which is not a benefit if you find yourself stranded on the side of the road. The Husky slider base also can only travel 10 inches compared to the simpler Curt design with 12 inches of travel. More travel means more clearance... view full answer...
The Titan Chain Twist Link Tire Chains, part # TC3231CAM, are designed to work with your 275/70-18 tires on your 2011 Ford F-250.
The Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains for Wide-Base Tires, part # TC3831, are also designed to fit your tires.
Both of these chains are made of the same material, 7 mm steel. The difference is that the # TC3831 chains have a V welded on them for additional traction.
You will want to check your owner's manual to see if there are any restrictions regarding the... view full answer...
The PVD or physical vapor deposition that you find on wheels is a tough wear-resistant aluminum coating that is bound to the wheel at a molecular level. It is corrosion resistant until it has been chipped much like chrome plating but harder and more durable.
The galvanized wheels like # AM3S650 will be corrosion resistant because of the zinc coating.
The PVD will actually give you a stronger finish and because of that will give you more corrosion resistance over a longer period of time. view full answer...
Lippert Components JT's Strong Arm # LC191025 is designed for use with travel trailers whereas # LC191024 is designed for 5th wheel trailers with less than 58 inches between the landing gear jacks. view full answer...
The biggest difference between the TorkLift StableLoad Suspension, part # TLA7200 is the warranty. Torklift provides a lifetime warranty. The SuperSprings SuperSway-Stop option you mentioned has been discontinued for your vehicle so obviously people preferred the TorkLift option. view full answer...
Approximately 1.5". The Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30156 is made from 2.5" square tubing. Installation does not cause this to set flush against the bed, there will be minimal gap between bed and rail. This measurement will be approximately 0.25", max 0.50". You should expect the top of the rail set at just under three inches from surface of truck bed. The bed rails you identify as currently using should be approximately 1.5"... view full answer...
Even though these two 5th wheel hitch are very similar there are a few key differences that separate them.
The Q20 # C16130 has a 10-year limited warranty as opposed to the A20's # C16140 limited lifetime warranty for the hitch and 10-year limited warranty for the roller.
A great thing about the Q20 is that it has a spherical axial bearing that allows it to move 360 degrees which the A20 does not have. This means that you will get a more enjoyable ride with the Q20 over the A20.

The MaxxAir vent # MA00-06401K and the Fan-Tastic Vent roof vent # FV801250 will be close to the same decibel level when running but I give a slight edge to the MaxxAir because it moves a little less air (900 cubic feet per minute versus 920 on the Fan-Tastic) and because it has a sealed ball bearing 12 volt motor which would theoretically be quieter. Honestly you may not be able to tell the difference.
As far as wind noise on the exterior I would go with the MaxxAir vent again since it... view full answer...
The Curt Double Lock # C60720 and the Curt EZr Double Lock # C60683 are basically the same gooseneck hitch. The difference is in the installation. The EZr gives you the ability to ensure the hole you drill in the bed is perfect without the need to measure. It instead uses the Center locator tool that allows you to drill from the bottom up for a perfect fit. The regular Double Lock system simply requires measuring and then you drill from the top down. If you are good with a tape measure,... view full answer...
The part # EP84130 is the touch screen version of the Edge Insight Gauge Display and the part # EP84030 has buttons on the side of the display that you use for navigation. The touchscreen version also gives you a bigger screen too since there doesn't need to be room for buttons. view full answer...
Unless we indicate a higher speed rating for a tire it will generally carry a nominal 65-mph speed rating. This is the case for the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15-inch Modular White Wheel # AM32673. The Taskmaster # TA92FR does indeed offer a substantially higher M-speed rating of 81-mph. For interstate highway travel, with speed limits potentially above 65-mph, I do recommend the Taskmaster.

The primary difference between the Draw-Tite # 65022 and the Curt # 31114 is that they're manufactured by two different companies. The hitches are nearly identical in appearance, have the same weight ratings and would install in the same manner. Because of this, you can choose the less expensive Draw-Tite model, and not feel that you sacrificed anything.
If you click the provided link, you can see an install video for the Draw-Tite model. view full answer...
There are a couple differences between the Hopkins part # HM60195VA and the # HM50002.
The # HM60195VA has a 2-1/2 inch LCD monitor, while the # HM50002 has a 3-1/2 inch monitor.
The # HM50002 also has Hitch Mode and Everyday Mode options. Hitch Mode is used when you are wanting to hook up a trailer by displaying horizontal colored lines that show you how close the trailer is to the hitch ball. In Everyday Mode the display changes to a grid that shows the distance of objects behind... view full answer...
Since the ST235/85R16 tires and ST235/80R16 tires will both fit the same size wheels you will not have a problem going with the ST235/80R16s.
Both tires have the same section width of 9-1/54 inches. The ST235/85R16 tires have an outer diameter of 31.73 inches and the ST235/80R16 tires have an outer diameter of 30.79 inches. One thing to note is the load capacity of the tires. The ST235/85R16 tires will have a higher maximum load capacity. For example, part # AM10295 has a load capacity... view full answer...
Proportional type trailer brake controllers deliver braking that is more consistent with the slowing of the tow vehicle, which is generally preferred to the "one-size-fits-all" action of a time-delay type unit that applies the brakes with the same intensity no matter how quickly you're stopping. But since they rely on an accelerometer to sense the tow vehicle's deceleration, proportional controllers need to be set up within each one's operating angle range. The linked article may be of... view full answer...
The difference between a universal-fit 5th wheel install kit and a custom-fit kit is that the custom kit will reduce your overall installation time and the amount of drilling required. They eliminate altogether the need for frame drilling and they naturally cost more for this reason.
Neither offers an absolute advantage in terms of strength but with custom kits the larger brackets tend to mean more metal-to-metal contact with the truck's frame. If you take a look at universal install... view full answer...
According to Curt the A25 hitch # C16180 is a rebranded Q25 with a head that is made of stronger material. The A25 is the newer version. The changes made to the head address some issues with head failure associated with the Q25.
The Q25 was a beefier version of the Q24. view full answer...
Firestone Ride-Rite kit # F2550 is going to be a higher quality than Air Lift # AL88390 but both are going to get the job done well. Both kits would work for 5th wheel hitches because they mount on the inboard sides of the frame rails. I have included a link to a video showing installation of the Firestone kit for you.
To be able to add or remove air from the bags from the comfort of the truck cab I recommend Level Command kit # F2158. view full answer...
Long bed trucks like your 2000 Ford F-350 with 8-foot bed naturally have enough turning clearance to use fixed (non-sliding) 5th wheel hitches like the excellent B&W Patriot 18K # BWRVK3255. Shorter bed trucks require a sliding hitch like the Curt E16 # 16516 that you referenced in order to have enough turning clearance to avoid trailer-to-cab contact. You can use a slider hitch in both long and short bed trucks but if used in a long bed it must always remain in the forward locked position.... view full answer...
