  • Class III Hitch Receiver Recommendation for 1987 Ford F-150 with 37-1/4 Inch Frame
  • I do have a Class III hitch that fits your 1987 Ford F-150 with a 37-1/4 inch frame, however, it's not a Curt. Take a look at the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III # 75038. This hitch receiver has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight rating of 500 lbs, which is more in line with the towing capacity of your F-150. It also features a concealed crosstube design, just like the Curt # 14001. That being said, Draw-Tite hitches are not manufactured in the USA. If...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Be Installed on a Modified 1988 Ford F-150, 250, or 350
  • On trailer hitch # 75038 it measures approximately 9-1/4 inches from the bottom of the truck frame down to the center of the receiver. The hitches for the 1988 Ford F-series trucks are designed for stock models. I can't say for sure if any would fit with the modifications to the rear of your truck. If the measurements for the hitch don't work out another option is to use a weld-on hitch and have it installed by a qualified professional welder. I have linked the weld-on hitches that we carry.

  • Selecting a Bolt-On/Non-Weld Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 1990 Ford F-Series Super Duty Truck.

  • There are a couple of things to consider to determine the correct under bed frame brackets for your 1991 Ford F-250 long bed. When it comes to rails there are 2 basic types out there: 10-bolt and 4-bolt rails. The 10-bolt rails will have mounting holes on the side flanges of the rails.

  • Will a Cushioned Ball Mount Work with Surge Trailer Brakes
  • The cushion inside of the Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 would have only a slight affect on the surge coupler on your trailer. You may not even notice it. The cushion is very dense and the more pressure that is put on it the firmer it gets. It would take more force to compress that cushion than to actuate the surge coupler. Cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 has a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop but there are other options if you need a different rise or drop to tow the trailer level: #...

  • Replacement Door Lock for 1991 Jamboree Motorhome

To fill the space in the door, you'll likely just want to use some sort of foam insulation to keep cold air from entering any gaps and into the coach.

  • Thule Xporter Truck Rack Bracket Compatibility with Truck Bed Rail
  • As you stated, Thule has not tested this compatibility and neither have we.
