  • Trailer Turn Signals and Brake Lights Not Working when Connected to a 2013 Ram 1500
  • Like you have said, the 2013 Ram 1500, if so-equipped, will have both a 7-Way and a 4-Way trailer connector at the back. In order to determine where the problem is you will need to use a circuit tester, # PTW2992, if you do not already have one. Have someone sit in the truck and go through the light functions while you test the 4-Way with the circuit tester. If everything works on the truck side, then that indicates a problem on the trailer. If the same problem exists on the truck side...

  • The Extreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer Jack w/ Wheel - Sidewind - 10" Lift - 770 lbs - Zinc # ORJW1SU weighs 41 lbs packaged for shipping.

  • Is the HitchMate Boat Trailer Step HE4036 Available in Aluminum or a Galvanized Finish?
  • The HitchMate Boat Trailer Step # HE4036 does only come as powder coated steel. This will offer corrosion resistance, but it will also need to be kept clean to keep this up. We do have a galvanized step available, but it is a different design. The Polar Hardware Folding Assist Step # PLR900 will have a galvanized finish and has multiple applications. The mounting holes will measure 4 inches from center to center though, so depending on how tall your frame is you may need to come up with...

  • Is the Aluminum A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox 350970 Waterproof
  • Aluminum A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox Item # 350970 is weather resistant but not waterproof. For something to be considered waterproof it has to be able to be submerged under water for a certain period of time and not let water in.

  • Where is the etrailer Swivel Jack # MJ-1500B-DWL Manufactured?
  • While we do have some great U.S.A.-made boat trailer jacks, the etrailer Round Swivel Marine Jack # MJ-1500B-DWL is manufactured in China.

  • Is the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Extender # he18 Solid or Hollow
  • The Hitch Extender, # he18, is hollow at both ends so that would be tubular steel. The use of a hitch extender will reduce the capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. If the hitch started with a 350 pounds tongue weight capacity, by using this extension that amount will be reduced to 175 pounds.
