  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for Towing a Riverside RV Retro177SE
  • I would be happy to help you. A weight distribution hitch is only going to be affected by the tongue weight of your trailer so that is the only number you will want to account for when determining what system you need. Since your 2017 Riverside Retro 177SE has a GVWR of 3,500 lbs and a TW of 420 lbs. I recommend the Reese Straight Line item # RP66072 you referenced. This system has a tongue weight range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs which will be perfect for your trailer. You will also need the...

  • Will Topline # BX4004-01 Bed Extender from 2004 Explorer Sport Trac Fit Bed of 2007 Model
  • The rear of the bed of a 2001-2006 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is right at 54-11/16 inches wide, while the rear width of the bed from a 2007-2008 Sport Trac is 50 inches, so the bed of your 2007 model is just over 4-1/2 inches narrower than that of your 2004 model. Most bed extenders are width adjustable, like the Topline # BX4004-01 bed extender you referenced. The # BX4004-01 is width adjustable from 48-62 inches wide. If that's the extender you have, it'll work just fine on your 2007 Sport...

  • Replacement Tonneau Cover Tarp for Original Truxedo on 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • The part number you've mentioned with your Truxedo Series 1 tonneau cover is of a discontinued item, but my tech contact over at Truxedo says you've got 1 of 2 potential tonneau covers on your 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. If you've got a decal/sticker on the rear bar above the tailgate that is not sewn into the cover/tarp and black tonneau bars/supports then you've got the Original Truxedo part number- 392601 and will want to use the Replacement Tarp for TruXedo Original Soft Truck Bed...

  • Recommended Brake Controller Adapter for 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • It sounds like you're looking for the 6 pin adapter to plug a brake controller into your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. For that, you'll need to use part # 3035-P in most cases. If you can let me know what brake controller you're using I can confirm that this will be the correct part, or find you an alternate one that will work with your specific brake controller.

  • Setup Recommendations for Flat-Towing a 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • I went ahead and looked up the owner's manual for your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and I confirmed with Ford that you can flat-tow your vehicle behind your motorhome whether you have a rear-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive model. However, it is always important to consult with the owner's manual to make sure that you abide by all other flat-towing guidelines put forward by the manufacturer. The manual discusses extra products you need for both drivetrains that are only available through...

  • Correct Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • The only front mount trailer hitch option for a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31029 which does require drilling. That said, it's only two holes so it will be rather minor. There are no options from Draw-Tite at this time.

  • Will the Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Ford Sport Trac?
  • I spoke with my contact at Swagman and he said the Truck Bed Mount Bike Rack part # S64702 is adjustable down to 50-1/4 inches. So if your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac has a bed that measures 50 inches wide it is going to be a very tight fit. Another option would be the Yakima BlockHead Single Bike Truck Bed Mounted Rack # Y01117. This rack is intended as a universal carrier that can fit the majority of bicycle sizes and types when mounted in a truck bed.

  • Parts Needed to Bypass Trailer Wiring on a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • If the fuses are all functioning correctly and you have traced the wiring on your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac without finding the problem then I agree with you that the best option is to just bypass all of the OEM wiring with aftermarket wiring. For your application I recommend using the Tekonsha # 119179KIT which you will splice in behind your tail lights and then route the black wire up to your battery. This kit is designed to keep the tail light wiring from being affected by any malfunctions...

  • Snowplow Recommendation for a 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • Our plows have some adjustability, but they don't have a power angle - to adjust the angle you will need to do so manually. For your application I recommend checking out the Detail K2 Elite # K2AVAL8826ELT which installs on your 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac using the Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver # 31545. I like this snowplow because it's 88" wide x 26" tall, it has 3 different angle positions (left, center, and right), and it uses a chain-lifting design that does a great job at resisting...

  • Tow Bar Adapter To Allow Blue Ox Tow Bars To Connect With a Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit
  • You will be able to use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 4405-3 on your 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Do note that this baseplate will not work on the Adrenalin trim. To adapt your Blue Ox tow bars you will need the Roadmaster Adapter Kit # RO64FR to replace the ends on your tow bars so they fit the Roadmaster base plate. You may need an adapter like the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-4 to level your tow bars. The tow bars should not vary by more than 3" in vertical...

  • Will The Same Hitch Fit Both The 2001 Ford Explorer & 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
  • We do have trailer hitches for both vehicles, but acording to my research there are not any trailer hitches that will fit both the 2001 Ford Explorer and the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The recommended trailer hitch for the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13407. Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13540 is recommended for the 2001 Ford Explorer.

The adjustable mirror mounting arms rotate outward to accommodate different factory mirror designs and the ratcheting system securely tightens heavy-duty rubber straps to reduce vibration and image "ghosting". This mirror fits both driver and passenger side mirrors and is sold as a single unit. For a wider field...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Rated for 500 lbs Tongue Weight Safely Haul a 456 lb 2003 V Strom 1000
  • If the owner's manual for your 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac states that you have a 500 lb tongue weight rating then you will easily be able to tow a 456 lb bike, like the 2003 V Strom 1000, on a motorcycle trailer. If you are talking about a motorcycle carrier like the etrailer # e98873 then you will likely be exceeding your tongue weight and I do not recommend going that route. Tongue Weight (TW) refers to the downward force that the coupler of a trailer (or a bike rack or cargo carrier)...

  • Will a Bed Extender Fit a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • I reccomend the Curt # C57WR Universal Truck Bed Exender which will fit nearly all full size pickup trucks including Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Dodge, Ram, and Nissan, with standard 60" wide tail gates. (6.5 foot and longer beds) and provide 26-1/2 inches of additional bed length for storage and hauling. May not work with flare-style tailgates. Compatible with most tonneau covers. I would check that measurement before ordering.

  • Can Front Mount Hitch And Grille Guard Both Be Installed On 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • The front hitch receiver that is designed to fit your 2007 Explorer Sport Trac is the Curt # 31545. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening. The grille guard we offer for your vehicle is the Aries Grille Guard - 1 Piece - Semi-Gloss Black Powder Coated Steel, Item # AA3059. The problem is both of these items use the same frame rail holes on your Explorer. You would need to either install the front mount hitch or the bull bar, but you will only be able to install one. You can check out...
