  • Can a 2007 Ford Edge be Flat Towed and What Parts are Needed to do so
  • I took a look at the online version of your owner's manual and it does say that a 2007 Ford Edge can be flat towed. Even though this is what I found it is always best practice to check your owner's manual to confirm this and to see specific instructions regarding the flat towing process. There are 6 essentials when it comes to flat towing any vehicle: a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. For a...

  • There is a T-One connector to fit your 2011 Ford E-250 for a 4-way. Use part # 118551. However, to add a 7-way you need to connect some wiring.

The # ETBC7 plugs into your existing 4-way and also has the additional wires that are then run to your battery for 12 volt power, your van's reverse lights, and then to the cab to connect to an electric brake controller.

  • Tail Light Converter for 2013 Ford F-150 for Brake Light Signal for 3rd Brake Light on Truck Cap
  • The wiring on your truck combines the stop and turn light signals since that is how trailers are usually set up. Trailer wiring has these two different signals combined into the same circuit, one for the left side of the trailer and one for the right. Since you want to have a stop light signal by itself to connect it to a truck cap 3rd brake light you'll need to use a tail light converter such as Tow Ready # 118158 or Curt # C56196 to separate out the stop light signal. This way the cap...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • I took a look at the online owner's manual for a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and it what it said was that only rear-wheel drive options can be flat towed, and if going over 35 mph and/or 50 miles in distance, to do this you must disconnect the driveshaft. Having said that, I highly recommend checking with Ford to see if anything has changed since the owner's manual was released to verify any type of compatibility as they would be the ones with the final say. If you do find that your...

  • Parts Needed to Mount a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform to a Truck Topper
  • I have a solution for you, but there are not brackets to mount the Rhino Rack Pioneer platforms directly to your truck topper. I recommend adding a track system to the roof of your topper. You will use the Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RTC14 to provide the tracks and then use the Track Mount RLTP Legs for Rhino-Rack RTC- and RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RLTP (x2) to mount the platform to the tracks.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Best Ground Clearance with 220-Foot Airstream Trailer
  • When it comes to ground clearance the preferred type of weight distribution (WD) hitch is the trunnion style, such as # RP66542 from Reese. Trunnion spring bars attach to the head unit from the side rather than from the bottom like round bar systems like the Fastway # FA94-00-0800 and so they provide better ground clearance. The linked article on WD systems may be helpful to you as it explains the features of various systems. For a 600-lb TW Reese system # RP66083 is a great choice. All...

  • Curt Brake Controller Wiring Harness for 2007 Ford F-350
  • The correct Curt brake controller vehicle specific wiring harness for a 2007 Ford F-350 would be part # C51372.

The # C51432 you referred to is a fit for later model Ford Super Duty trucks, and wouldn't work for your 2007. The harness would plug into the connector clipped to the rear of the storage pocket located above the ashtray, as shown in the provided photo.
