If you have a fully functioning 7-Way in the bed of your 1995 Ford F-350 then you should be able to simply use a tee connector like the Curt # C56000 to tee into the US Car Connector behind the 7-Way for your gooseneck. You can use the attached picture and a circuit tester # PTW2993 to make sure you have all of the functions. You will need to use the manual override from your brake controller to make sure that the brake controller is sending power back to the 7-Way.
It is possible that... view full answer...
As long as the 1994 Ford F-350 came with a factory trailer connector (4-Way or 7-way are the most common) you can use the Tekonsha Wire Replacement, # 3035-P. This harness fits your truck and the Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller, # TK90160. I have included links to the installation details for both parts for you.
If the truck did not come with a factory installed trailer wiring connector of any kind, you would need to hardware the brake controller. For that you would first have to install... view full answer...
Converting a 6-Way connector to a 7-Way connector will be easy. A 6-Way connector already has most of the functions used by a 7-Way, the only one missing is a circuit for reverse lights. If the trailer you plan to tow does not need a reverse light circuit, you will not even need to add one.
You will need a 7-Way RV style vehicle side trailer connector. I recommend going with the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow, # HM48470, since it handles 7-Way, 5-Way, and 4-Way trailer connectors.

I have a great alternative for you. Unfortunately, the rails that fit the Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT will not fit your 1996 Ford F-250 and F-350 with an 8-foot bed. However, a great alternative is the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops # EM07705. The Erickson uses J-hooks that attach anywhere along the rails of your truck for an easy installation. The Erickson also comes with load stops to make sure that your cargo does not shift during transportation. All hardware needed for... view full answer...
It sounds like you've got the deep drop bumper on your 1996 Ford F-350, so the correct B&W Class V hitch for your truck is the # BWHDRH25198. It sounds like they potentially got you the # BWHDRH25122 to start, which is for use on the standard bumpers or step bumpers instead of the 12" deep drop that you've got.
I've linked an installation video of this hitch for you to check out in case you want to do the installation yourself this time, as well as all of the trailer wiring harness options... view full answer...
I confirmed with Tekonsha that they do not offer a brake controller quick-connect harness for your 1993 Ford F-350 but you can still install their outstanding Prodigy P3 trailer brake controller # 90195. If you have a factory 7-way and the under-dash connection port you can make your own harness.
You can use the pigtail plug that comes with the P3 along with Curt harness # C51312. Simply cut off the black plug (which would normally connect to a Curt brand brake controller) and splice the... view full answer...
From what I was able to find, you will need to hardwire in a 7-Way using a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. The Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, # 118243, does not fit the 1994 Ford F-350. I have included a link to an FAQ and a link to a video showing a typical installation of the ETBC7 for you. view full answer...
We can get you outfitted with new wiring for your 1996 Ford F-250 (nice looking truck by the way!) so you can have a 7-way equipped.
To replace your 4-way and also add a 7-way you will need two parts: the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118316 along with the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole # 37185. If you already have a working 4-way you will only need the adapter.
I have added a link to a help article on wiring a Ford truck which I believe will be useful for... view full answer...
Since your existing and now discontinued Draw-Tite Activator trailer brake controller 5504 is installed using a quick-connect wiring adapter # 3035-P that plugs in under the dash you will not need anything other than the new Prodigy P2 Controller # 90885. Since both products come from the same maker they can use the same wiring adapter. Simply plug in your new P2 to the existing harness and you're all set. view full answer...
What you will need to do is test the plugs you have found with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed. You will be testing for the various lighting functions, brake controller output (if still installed) and a good ground. If all the signals are there and working properly, you can hardwire in a 7-Way trailer connector.
I recommend a multi-tow, like # HM48470, so you will have a 4-Way, 5-Way, and a 7-Way. What you will do is remove the plug on the end that works, clip it off, and attach... view full answer...

This kit includes universal under-bed brackets and their mounting hardware, as well as the above bed rails and the hardware required to mount those to the under-bed brackets.

Pole tongue-style trailers can use a pole tongue adapter like # RP58393 or # EQ95-01-5950 to allow installation of a weight distribution/sway control system. These adapters bolt on to the straight frame member to provide a substitute mounting point for the WD system's lift brackets. These adapters mount 29 to 30-inches back from the hitch ball. Note these carry different tongue weight ratings so be sure to select one based on your trailer's weight (TW).
Selection of a WD system should... view full answer...
The yellow wire on the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable # H20046 will not be able to charge an on-board battery, it should really be used for reverse lights. To charge the auxiliary battery on your trailer the best option is to use a battery charger such as the CTEK MULTI US 3300 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger # CTEK56353 which you would plug into a standard outlet.
You can maintain that charge when driving by running # 10-1-1 wire along with 40 amp circuit breaker... view full answer...
You want to check your rails, to see if you have the 4-bolt rails or the 10-bolt rails. For your 1996 Ford F350 8 foot bed the 10-bolt rails are part # RP58058. The rails look similar but they have the mounting holes in different locations.
If you have the 10-bolt base rails Reese Universal Base Rails 10-Bolt, # RP58058, you need the Reese Universal Installation Kit (No Base Rails) 10-Bolt, # RP30439. This kit is the mounting brackets with the hardware, but not the base rails.

The reason you are having issues installing the Tekonsha Prodigy part # 90885 is because the correct install harness you need for your truck is the part # 3035-P and not the 3036. If you replace the install harness the brake controller will function again. view full answer...
For your 1996 Ford F-250, I recommend going with the Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie Downs # TDSF.
These are universal anchors that will work with your 96 F-250, can be used in any pocket, and measure 5-1/2" tall x 1-7/8" wide x 3/8" thick.
These anchors do require drilling so this is going to be a permanent install, however if you'd prefer a non-permanent install the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSSF will work just as good. view full answer...
The B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Custom Installation Kit for Ford # BWGNRM1110 is the correct kit needed for your 1996 Ford F-350 with overload springs.
