I'll start with your last question first. If you call your Ford Dealer, and provide them with your VIN, they should be able to explain exactly how your vehicle is equipped. The brochure for your vehicle states that the HD tow package includes 'Brake module wiring; frame-mounted, heavy-duty 2" hitch receiver with 4-/7-pin wiring connectors; heavy-duty flasher and transmission cooler and trailer sway control'.
The trouble with the term 'Tow Package' is that it's a useless descriptor. There's... view full answer...

The hitch pin and clevis pin locks # RM-304 referred to in Brad's video for the RoadMaster Receiver Hitch Lock # RM-315 do not have a keyed alike option so you would have two keys, one for the clevis locks and one for the hitch pin lock. Out of the options we currently have the # RM-304 would be the best choice for your setup since it comes with two heavy-duty clevis locks keyed a like and a hitch pin lock all in one package. view full answer...
A pintle hitch is primarily used in heavy duty towing situations. The hitch itself resembles a hook that can be closed around the lunette ring that is mounted on the trailer. Part # C48210 is a good example of a pintle hook.
The pintle/lunette combination is typically used on construction or other heavy duty equipment. view full answer...
According to the the owner's manual online for the 2017 Toyota Camry XLE, towing a trailer is not recommended. It also does not say you can't. Ultimately, it is up to you whether or not you want to go ahead and tow a trailer, but we do not recommend going against what the manufacturer says. If you do plan on towing a trailer, I recommend checking with your local dealer first for clarity and also to see what the towing capacity of the vehicle is assuming there is one.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 you have on your 2009 VW Jetta SportWagen is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and 200 lb tongue weight (as are all the hitches for this vehicle). The issue is that when using an adapter like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD it reduces the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. That means your hitch capacity is only 100 lbs, and exceeding that compromises the integrity of the hitch not only because... view full answer...
Yes! If the front-mounted hitch/accessory is mounted properly, it is totally legal to do. If you need a front hitch receiver for your 2021 Ford F-350, I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # 65076. Not only does this hitch provide you with 500 pounds of tongue weight and 9,000 pounds of line pull capacity, it also installs close to the front bumper to decrease the probability of bumper clearance issues. Since the length from the center of the pinhole... view full answer...
The Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty Adjustable Mud Flap you referenced, part # ERT00108 is made from 3/8 inch thick rubber. They should certainly resist heat better than something made out of horse hair, but just about anything will eventually become damaged if it is close enough to the exhaust outlet. I would recommend using an exhaust tip that relocated the discharge downward or outward toward the side of the truck. We offer various exhaust tips that might work for you, click on the provided link.

The first step that you will want to take before attempting to carry your motorcycle is to contact the manufacturer of your motor home to determine tongue weight capacity of the motor home. The tongue weight capacity of your motor home must exceed the weight of your motorcycle and lift combined. Most motor homes do not have very high tongue weight or towing capacities.
If you find that your motor home can support the weight of your bike plus the weight of the lift, you will need to determine... view full answer...

The overall weight is 35 lbs of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR.
It is made from steel, and there is not an aluminum hitch, or one that weighs dramatically less. All hitches are made from steel or an alloy to ensure the overall strength and durability of the hitch as you are towing or using it for an accessory like a bike rack, for instance.

While there isn't a replacement pin lock or padlock that will work, B&W has told us the best way to lock the hitch head is by using a cable lock. For that I recommend an adjustable cable lock:
- Python Adjustable Cable Lock # 8419DPF
The reason I like the Python lock is because it lets you adjust the locking mechanism to the length you want to tighten it around the hitch so there is no slack. The lock is also heavy-duty, made with 5/16" diameter braided steel designed specifically to... view full answer...
What you can do to keep the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2" Hitches # ERT00108 from loosening up - along with torquing to spec - is apply some Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker # LT37614.
The Loctite Blue # LT37614 will help secure the bolts and keep them from loosening, but won't permanently affix them so the bolts will still be removable if need be. Just keep in mind it takes a full 24 hours for the Loctite to fully set. view full answer...
You'll want to use 2 gauge wire and what you can use for the 12 volt wiring is the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit - Quick Connect to Terminal End - 2 Gauge - 24' Long # BDW20207.
