- Can Load Range E Trailer Tires Be Used To Replace Load Range D Tires

If the cross bars are, when measured center-to-center are between 20" and 37" apart, then the mounting hardware on the Thule basket, # TH859XT, will fit.

view full answer... - Recommendation For Transmission Cooler on 2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L / V-10
- I would strongly recommend to add an aftermarket transmission cooler to your 2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L vehicle to prevent any damage to your transmission. The ideal operating temperature range of your transmission fluid should be 160 to 200 degrees. Adding the cooler will not bypass the existing factory cooler which is located inside the radiator. Adding a cooler provides supplemental cooling to the your factory cooler.
Transmission coolers are universal fit items. What you will need to...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2000 Ford Excursion
- The 2000 Ford Excursion is actually rated for 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight. The 18,000 pounds is the gross combined weight rating or GCWR. The GCWR is the most that the Excursion and trailer can weigh including cargo, passengers, and fuel.
So the Excursion cannot tow 18,000 pounds and its weight plus the trailers weight cannot exceed 18,000 pounds. The trailer can weigh up to 10,000 pounds total but no more.
With that said the highest capacity trailer hitch we have for your vehicle...
view full answer... - Shaft Recommendation for a 3 Inch Bow Roller for Boat Trailers # YR3143-4
- The 3 inch bow roller # YR3143-4 takes a 1/2 inch diameter shaft such as # CE10700A. The Pal nuts are included. The length of this shaft is 5-1/4 inches long so you may need to trim it down a little. The cut will need to be straight and smooth so the Pal nuts will still fit on the ends.

view full answer... - 2005 Ford Excursion Squats when Using Husky Weight Distribution with 9,000 Pound Trailer
- Let's first look at the numbers. A trailer weighing 9,000 pounds will have a tongue weight in the neighborhood of 900 to 1,350 pounds.
