Expert Answers about Ford Truck Bed Step


  • Do Brophy Camper Hold Downs Black Powder Coat, Part # HSSF, Stress Truck Bed Top Rails?
  • The Brophy Camper Hold Downs, Part # HSSF, install without drilling and use the included padded T-bar hardware to evenly distribute forces downward and inward toward the inside of the truck bed. The top rail itself bears only some of the load from the tie-down points since most stress is distributed to the inside of the bed. I have attached the installation instructions for this item for your review. You will want to review this part for compatibility with your specific year/make/model...

  • Towing a Travel Trailer With The Tailgate Down on a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  • Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for GM Trucks Item # VGM-07-100 has a 100 lb max weight capacity. However you can get a hitch extender and not replace your tailgate. As long as the extender sets your ball mount past the edge of your tailgate you will have enough clearance for the jack. I recommend Brophy Hitch Extender with Step for 2" Trailer Hitches - 18" Long Item # RST18 if you have a 2" hitch on your truck. When used with weight distribution it gives...

  • Will The Pivoting Head Of The Curt A30 5th Wheel Hitch Cause Issues When Towing A Car Hauler Trailer
  • The side to side pivoting of the Curt A30 # C66HR head is to help with coupling to the king pin of the trailer and slightly help with ride quality since it has built in rubber dampeners. This should not cause any issues while hauling your Shipshe car hauler trailer.

  • Can Electric Trailer Steps be Used on Pickup Truck
  • While there are steps you can use for a pickup truck, electric trailer steps cannot. Instead, there are options such as the Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps # CARR125001 which fit certain model year Ford trucks, or you can use running boards or nerf bars. I have added a link below to our entire selection of steps, running boards, and nerf bars for you to check out, or if you let me know the year, make, and model of your truck I can make a recommendation for you.

  • Replacement Rear Header for Truxedo TruXport Tonneau Cover
  • According to Truxedo, before changing the rear header, you'll want to first check that the tonneau is correctly positioned on the truck. If the cover is situated too far toward the front of the vehicle, it will not latch correctly no matter what's replaced, so you'll want to refer back to the original installation instructions to ensure that the cover is installed correctly and that the gaps are as they should be. If the cover is indeed positioned correctly, and replacing the latches didn't...

  • Does TorkLift Offer Camper Tie Down Draw Bars as a Separate Item
  • This question has come up before. In order to make the drawbar portions of the tie downs, TorkLift would need to do a special manufacturing run for just that particular item. This would considerably add to the cost of the product, which would end up costing you about the same amount of money, if not more as starting from scratch would. Given this, I'd recommend simply starting from scratch. If your truck does NOT have running boards or a side step that extends under the bed (wheel to...

  • Can Cushioning Be Added To A MORryde You Turn Pin Box
  • MOryde's pin box cushioning wouldn't work with a rotating pin box like their You Turn line since the wear pads would constantly be engaging every time you went to make a turn and would delay the pin box from rotating since there would be slack to go through before the force would start pulling the pin box to either side. The only cushioning you'll see for rotating pin box is typically going to be an air spring inside the pin box to help deal with up and down motion, like part # RP61412...

  • What Are Cargo Management Rails And How Do They Work With Truck Bed Bike Racks 2014 Toyota Tundra
  • The cargo management rails that our truck bed bike rack selection guide is referring to are side-rails that are installed on the inside of the truck bed frame rails. With these internal side rails installed you can add cross bars which will then give you two layers of cargo carrying ability. These rails are typically dealer installed and are not offered with all makes and models of trucks. I could not find where Toyota has these rails however this is an option on Ford trucks and Nissan...

  • What are the TorkLift Part Numbers for Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TL44FR & # TL84FR?
  • The TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs Front # TL44FR is the TorkLift part number C2226. The Rear # TL84FR is the TorkLift part number C3222. These are the correct parts for your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Long Bed Dually with the factory receiver and no steps/running boards under the bed. I recommend using the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK to secure your slide in camper on your Silverado. These have a stainless steel construction with black powder...

  • Differences In 5th Wheel Hitches For Short And Long Bed Trucks
  • Yes, there is a difference in hitches for an 8' bed on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3710, which is a fixed hitch. Fixed hitches are used primarily on long bed trucks, and sliding hitches like the Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 are used short bed trucks. The reason being is because, due to the shorter bed length, the hitch is installed closer to the cab, reducing the turning radius significantly, whereas, the long bed trucks install the hitch farther from the cab,...

  • Acceptable Front-to-Back Play of Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch, Part # RP30921, in 2012 Ford F-350
  • I spoke to my contact at Reese and they confirmed that some front-to-back play, such as what you are experiencing, is normal with your 5th wheel hitch. Since you have a factory-installed under-bed rail system in a recent model year truck we will assume that the 1/4 inch front-to-back play you have noted is not due to those components being loose or worn. It is possible that some minor adjustments to the installation may help. You can re-check this if you like. You can re-check that the...

  • Option For Carrying Kayak Or Surfboard In Truck Bed
  • I see you got the RockyMounts LoBall Bike Rack for Truck Bed # RKY1097. We do not have a kayak or surfboard carrier that mounts in the truck bed like the RockyMounts. If you are not installing a roof rack to carry the kayak or surfboard we do have a way to carry them in the bed of your truck. We carry tailgate pads like part # SR26457 for full-size and part # S64761 for mid-size trucks. These are pads that are attached to the tailgate and you then carry the board or kayak as shown in the...

  • Can a Short Bed Truck Tow a 5th Wheel Camper, Determining Turning Clearance for 5th Wheel Camper
  • Turning clearance is always going to be best with a long bed truck. Trucks with long beds are more designed for towing, and there are less of them on the market today because more people are buying trucks for reasons other than towing. If I were choosing a bed length to tow a 5th wheel camper, I would definitely go with a long bed because it will most easily offer sufficient turning clearance. Some 5th wheel campers have a nose that is specially designed to work with short bed trucks....

  • How to Measure the Bed of 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and How Do I Know If I Have a Cargo Management System
  • To determine the size of your truck bed, you will want to measure the inside of the truck bed from front to back. Most accessory companies round off their measurements to the nearest half-foot so your measurement may not exactly match the options that we have listed. The GM Cargo Management System is a rail system which runs the length of the bed sides and behind the cab. The BedRug Custom Full Truck Bed Liner, # BRC07CCK, that we offer is made to fit a 5-1/2 foot bed without the Cargo...
