  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way in 2001 Ford Expedition with Factory 4-Flat
  • Since your 2001 Ford Expedition already has a factory 4-flat you will need the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole # 37185. Your '01 Expedition should have the factory wiring already run to the connector on the frame rail so you will need to splice in the adapter; for extra wire you can use # 12-1-1 along with butt connectors # 05732-2. I have added a link to a help article about installing a brake controller in a Ford like your '01 Expedition which I strongly recommend reading. It will explain...

  • Adding a Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way To a 2012 Ford Expedition With a 4-Way Flat Connector
  • First to determine exactly what parts you need you will need to see if your 4-way flat plug is a factory plug or if the 4-way was added on. The best way to determine this is to check under the dash for the trailer brake connector. The connector will be tucked up behind the OB2 port above the throttle pedal. I have linked an installation video below for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 that shows where this connector is on your 2012 Ford Expedition. If you have...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 1995 Fleetwood Bounder
  • To determine if your 1995 Fleetwood Bounder is equipped with a plug-in for a brake controller, you will need to take a look up under the dash of your motorhome. If you have a plug, it will most likely be located up under the dash on the driver's side. If your Bounder is not equipped with this plug, you will need to use our Universal Installation Kit, # ETBC7. Due to the length of your motorhome, you will need additional 10 gauge wire, # 10-2-1, which is sold by the foot. If you are still...

  • Recommended Towing Mirror for 2020 Ford Expedition
  • I recommend using the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 # CM11980-2, since they'll clamp on to the top of your 2020 Expedition's factory mirrors and won't interfere with the existing features you've got. I really like that these are extendable to give you a really wide view behind you and the rotating mirror allows you to configure this however you'd like to give you the best field of vision. I've linked a short review video we did of these on a similar Expedition, but...

  • Which Roof Rack System for 2012 Ford Expedition Will Allow Use of the Thule Hullavator Pro
  • If you're wanting to use the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 on your 2012 Ford Expedition, the best way to ensure that you've got the required bar space is going to be to measure the distance between the raised side rails and then add at least 8 inches (minimum of 4 inches for each side). The typical Thule roof rack system that fits on your 2012 Ford Expedition uses 60 inch long crossbars # TH711520, which should provide 4 inches on each side of the raised side rails; when paired with the...

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Connector and Trailer Brake Controller to a 2000 Ford Expedition
  • There are actually a few places the factory connection point can be for a brake controller on your 2000 Ford Expedition. While it should be in the place indicated in the video I have linked, in other Ford vehicles it is found elsewhere: The harness will be located under the dash near the center console on most vehicles. The harness for the Ford Full Size Van is located underneath and left of the steering column. The harness for the Ford Explorer/Mercury Mountaineer is located behind the...

  • Brake Controller Wiring Harness Recommended for 2004 Ford Expedition
  • We do indeed have a harness that would work for you. The actual plug and play harness you need will depend on who manufactured the brake controller you have. I'll run through some of the major players and the part number for the compatible harness: • Tekonsha, Reese or Draw-Tite, use # 3035-P • Curt, use # C51322 • Hayes, use # HA81783-HBC • Redarc, use # RED87FR • Hopkins, use # HM47715 If your controller is from a different manufacturer or just has blunt-ended wires exiting the rear...

  • Are the Rubber Adjusters # PW99 Needed for 265/70R17 Tires on a 2003 Ford Expedition
  • I do recommend using the Glacier Rubber Adjusters, # PW99, with the Glacier Tire Chains, # PWH2828SC, with size 265/70R17 tires. We tested these tire chains on that tire size and determined the cam tighteners did not provide enough tension by themselves. I found an owners manual for your 2003 Ford Expedition and it says Ford only recommends using cable style chains or Ford accessory tire chains on your Expedition. For cable style snow chains, I recommend going with the Titan Cable Chains,...

  • Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a Tekonsha P2, # 90885, and a Ford 2004 Expedition
  • The correct brake controller harness for a 2004 Ford Expedition and a Tekonsha P2, # 90885, is # 3035-P just as you have referenced. It will fit on models with a factory 7-Way or factory 4-Way. If you have a factory 4-Way, you will also need to add a 7-Way using # 37185. The wiring to make the 7-Way fully functional should be in the plug that the 4-Way is connected to under the vehicle. There are more wires coming into the plug than coming out to the 4-Way so you would need to test the...

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to 2008 Ford Expedition with Factory 4-Way Connector
  • Yes, you can convert the factory 4-way trailer connector to a 7-way connector on your 2008 Ford Expedition. To add the 7-way connector, you will want a 4-way to 7-way adapter, like part # 37185. You may also need another 5ft or 6ft of 10 gauge wire, # 10-1-1. Your Expedition will already have the electric brake and 12 volt power wires ran to the back of the vehicle along the drivers side frame rail. If the 12 volt power wire is not hot, then you may also need a relay and a 30-amp fuse from...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 2010 Ford Expedition Pulling a 22 Foot Trailer
  • You are correct, the Reese Steadi-Flex, part # RP66560 is a very good choice for your application. This hitch has a maximum rise of 8-3/4 inches, so you will be able to achieve the same amount of rise that you have on your current hitch. If you wanted to remove the bars completely to allow you to use the hitch without the weight distribution functions, you would lower the bars from their hangers like you are disconnecting the trailer with the lowering handle. Once the bars are off the...

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way and Trailer Brake Controller to a 2001 Ford Expedition
  • On a 2001 Ford Expedition that did not come with a factory 7-Way, you will actually need to use adapter # 37185 to add a 7-Way. To connect the 4-Wires on the 37185 you will need to first ground the white wire to the truck frame. Then you will want to follow the factory wiring forward on the vehicle to where it plugs into another connector. On the connector on the forward side, there are more wires going in then coming out. If you pull back the covering on the wires you will find some...
