Expert Answers about Ford Transit Connect


  • Recommended Low-Profile Tire Chains for a 2010 Ford Transit Connect
  • I have a good recommendation for you! If you need snow chains for your 2010 Ford Transit Connect with 205/65R15 tires, then I recommend the Konig Self-Tensioning Low-Profile Chains, part # TH00023090. They are only 9mm thick and feature D-shape links for excellent traction. They are self-tensioning, so they automatically tighten and align as you drive and have a very easy installation. Of course, these are not a confirmed fit for your Transit since the manual states not to use chains....

  • Recommendation for Tent to Connect to Back of 2019 Ford Transit Connect
  • We certainly do! For your 2019 Ford Transit Connect the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907 will work great. Its alligator clamping sleeve will securely attach around the rear of the vehicle and allow you to use that roomy cargo area on your Transit Connect as additional living space while camping. The rain fly cover can also extend over the windows to help block any rain from entering. I have attached a short video demonstration on this tent that you can also check out.

  • Recommended Yakima Rooftop Cargo Box Compatible With Thule Roof Rack on 2011 Ford Transit Connect
  • The Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y07337 will fit crossbar spreads up to 42 inches and is the maximum distance on center. Your current Thule AeroBlade roof rack system has a crossbar spacing of 39 inches according to Thule with a capacity of 165 lbs max. Because it uses the factory mounting locations, this box will fit and is my recommendation for your roof. Thule roof boxes max out at 36-7/8 inches crossbar spread with the Thule Motion XT Rooftop...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2016 Ford Transit Connect
  • We can definitely help get your 2016 Ford Transit Connect setup to tow a trailer. The first thing you need is a trailer hitch, which for that the Draw Tite part # 75852 is a really great option with plenty of towing capacity that also installs easily. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118613 which installs easily and is very reliable. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller....

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Ford Transit Connect
  • The best hitch option for your 2022 Ford Transit Connect is the Curt part # C13167 as it's a 2 inch hitch which means it has better towing capacities and is the hitch that most accessories are made for like bike racks/cargo carriers. If you plan to do some towing yes you would need trailer wiring, but if you didn't have plans to tow it would not be needed. The best trailer wiring kit would be the # 118613.

  • Flush Bar Roof Rack that Fits Fixed Mounting Points of 2021 Ford Transit Connect SWB

This does attach to the factory fixed points on your roof like you mentioned as well.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Ford Transit Connect Long Wheel Base
  • Currently we only have the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle # TFRTCA for your 2018 Ford Transit Connect. It will work with the Long Wheel Base frame as well as the standard wheel base frame. Unfortunately we don't yet have and adjustable air ride option, but the Timbren system will help support your load, reduce body roll, and progressively get more rigid as weight is added. I've attached a video to assist as well as the installation instructions.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For Roof Top Tent On 2020 Ford Transit Connect Long Wheelbase

This system will give you 53" of useable crossbar space to support your roof top tent and a 165lb weight capacity. The roof top tents we offer like the Yakima Skyrise # Y07437 require a minimum...

  • Mounting Tool Box and Changing to Larger Tires on Lees-ure Lite Camper
  • You could potentially mount a trailer tongue toolbox like the White Buyers Products # 3371701679 to a pole tongue like what's on your Lees-ure Lite Camper but it's going to require some custom/fabricated brackets. You would need to first come up with a plate wide enough to support the toolbox base and then either bolt or weld it to the tongue. Honestly your best option to create some more cargo space for tools or other items would be to mount a small chest or even a cargo bag like the...

  • Roof Rack, Cargo Basket and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 2014 Ford Transit Connect
  • Based on the picture of your 2014 Ford Transit Connect you have a naked roof so for installing a roof rack we have the Thule rack consisting of # TH711400, # TH710601, and # TH186032 which would work great. This rack attaches to the factory fixed mounting points on your vehicle roof that are designed for crossbars. Then for a cargo basket the Yakima LoadWarrior part # Y07070-74 would be a great option that has plenty of cargo space and will fit the Rhino Rack bars. Then for a canoe carrier...

  • Does Tekonsha Trailer Wiring # 118613 Have to Run to Battery of 2017 Ford Transit Connect
  • It's very tempting to get the 12 volt power source for the trailer wiring # 118613 from the outlet you mentioned on your 2017 Ford Transit Connect but we cannot recommend this as the reason it needs to run up to the vehicle battery is so that it bypasses any factory wiring and protects it in the event of a short. That way if something were to happen on your trailer wiring any short created would have no effect on the vehicle wiring.

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Ford Transit Connect
  • We have many roof rack options for your 2010 Ford Transit Connect, but the roof rack that I recommend is the Thule WingBar Roof Rack. This roof rack includes the Thule WingBars, # TH711200 for silver or # TH711220 for black, which are one of the quietest crossbars on the market that do not sacrifice strength. The Podium Foot Pack, # TH460R, and the Fit Kit, # THKIT3021, were specifically designed to mount on the roof of your vehicle.

  • Recommended Anti-Sway Bars for 2021 Thor Axis 25.6 on Ford E-450 Chassis
  • For your 2021 Thor Axis on Ford E450 Chassis, you will want the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-147 and the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-176. The rear anti-sway bar is the biggest impact because the enhanced stability greatly impacts the body roll and the rear axle positioning requires more stabilizing overall. The front anti-sway is the next thing we recommend adding as it helps keep the front end more stable which helps with steering as well but this is the second...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in a 2016 Ford Transit
  • To install a brake controller in your 2016 Ford Transit Connect tou will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56218. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy...

  • Roof Cargo Box Recommendation to Fit Factory Crossbars of 2010 Ford Transit Connect
  • The mounting hardware of the SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box # SR7011 that you referenced can only spread out to 35 inches. Since we can't recommend modifying the hardware you'd have to go with a larger cargo box that is designed for the wider spread like you have. For that we have the Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337 which can fit up to 42 inch wide crossbar spreads. Most cargo boxes are limited to around 35 inch spreads so this is your best option. It can fit up to 21 cubic...

  • Curt Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Ford Transit
  • The correct hitch for a 2015 Ford Transit Connect is the part # C13167, the part # C13193 that you referenced is designed to the 2015 Fort Transit T150, T250, and T350. It sounds like you may have ordered the wrong hitch for the vehicle you have.

  • What PSI Does Vent Cap of DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank Release Pressure
  • I spoke with my contact at DeeZee and the cap of the DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank # DZ91752X that you referenced starts to vent at 4 psi. I also showed them the picture you sent in and they said they weren't able to give directions on how it should be wired or installed as it's not one of their pumps. You shouldn't have to vent the tank beyond the cap it already has though.
