Expert Answers about Ford F-150 and F-250 Light Duty


  • Compatability of Fifth Wheel Hitch in Reese Rails on a 2003 Ford
  • Your RBW 15,000 pound hitch should fit in the Reese rails unless they are installed improperly. When the hitch was installed on the F-550 it may have been tightened down with the gooseneck adapter installed and the rails are just out of position for your fifth-wheel hitch.

  • Will 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket HM40975 Fit a 1997 Ford F-150 Flareside w/Factory 7-Way
  • On the back of your factory 7-Way trailer connector on your 1997 Ford F-150 the wiring harness should plug into the back of it meaning it can be removed. If that is indeed the case with yours then you can install 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket - Vehicle End Item # HM40975 in its place. I have linked a video that shows installation for you. I do not anticipate a problem because all of the replacement 7-Ways listed for your truck install in the same way.

  • Compatibility of Pickup Truck Ladder Racks with Tonneau Covers
  • Tonneau covers and ladder racks can be compatible with each other when they do not use the same mounting points on the truck bed rails. Both tonneau covers and ladder racks can mount either inside the bed rails or on top of them. As an example, the TracRac SR sliding ladder racks like # TH43002XT-501 mount on top of the bed rails so they will work with tonneau covers like Tonno Pro soft roll-up cover # TPLR-3080 which installs inside the bed rails.

  • Will the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31049 Install on a 1998 Ford F-150 2WD Extended Cab
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and he told me you can install the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31049, on your 1998 Ford F-150 2WD as long as the frame of your truck matches the width of the bolt holes on the hitch. The frame width should be the same between the 2WD and 4WD models, but I would recommend measuring just to verify. The bolt holes that mount to the underside of the frame rail measure 31-7/8 in. from center to center. If your frame rails approximately 31-7/8 in. apart on center,...

  • My first suggestion would be to contact your Jayco in order to determine if they recommend using a hitch on the rear of your 2005 Jayco JayFeather M-19H.
