  • All of the hitches available for your 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI are Class I hitches with 200 lbs tongue weight capacity and 2,000 lbs of total trailer weight.

  • What Type of Hitch Extension do you Rewcommend for my 2006 Silverado 2500HD with an In Bed Camper
  • For those kinds of weights I really think it would be in your best interest to go with the Torklift setup. I wouldn't want a failure to occur especially when going on a hunting or fishing trip! For your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver part # TLC1205 is a confirmed fit and it will not interfere with your current camper hold downs. For an extension the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension for SuperHitch Trailer Hitch Receivers part # TLE1536...

  • Recommended SumoSprings For 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD For Regular Use
  • Since you are using your 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD for so many different things, including heavy towing and loads in the bed, the highest density springs are the best ones, with the correct fit being the following: - SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-211-54 These have a 2,800 lb capacity and are the highest density which means they will offer the sturdiest support for your truck bed when you have these heavy loads, are towing, and going offroad.

  • Can the Titan Chains TC2228SCAM Be Used for Off-Road Applications
  • The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2228SCAM would work well for off and on-road applications. The square link chains like this do well in deep snow and off-road situations since they are larger than twist-link style chains. The Titan chains are priced great. They still are a high-quality durable chain though. They are made of manganese-nickel allow that will last much longer than the low carbon steel chains.

  • Should All of the Wheels of a Tandem Axle Trailer be the Same Size
  • You really want to use the same size trailer wheels and tires on all the wheels of a trailer. If the tires of your setup are both the same outer diameter they should work if you absolutely had to move the trailer, but I would recommend replacing two of the wheels/tires with a new set that matches what is on the trailer. I attached a link to a page that has all of the wheels and tires we carry. You will need to first determine the bolt pattern of your current wheels (see attached link),...

  • Are Coil SumoSprings a Good Option for 2018 Ford Expedition
  • The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1168 that fit your 2018 Ford Expedition are going to do a really good job helping with the rear sag you have under load. They won't overly stiffen the ride because the coil springs won't engage without a load; you may notice it going over a particularly large bump but it isn't going to make your ride uncomfortable, and the benefit is going to be noticeable when you do tow. I have added a link to the installation details for you to check...

  • Hollywood Racks E-Bike Rack for Transporting 70 lb E-Bikes
  • Even though you don't need the tilting feature like what the Hollywood Rack RV Rider part # HLY64FR has it's still your best option since it's a very solid and stable rack with enough weight capacity for your bikes and since it's also rated for use at the rear of motorhomes where the ride quality is much rougher it would hold up the best for your application that includes some gravel/dirt roads. This also has a unique frame clamp setup which makes securing to often times odd e-bike frames...

  • Recommended Interior Storage Unit for Protecting Valuables in 2015 Toyota Tundra Double Cab
  • As long as your Tundra double-cab does not have the factory-installed under-seat subwoofer (which mounts under the rear seat, below the dogs' spot) you can use the Du-Ha Under-Seat Truck Storage Box # DU60051. The Du-Ha box allows you to choose how to configure the included divider panels so you can make the box interior match the size and shape of your items. You can also remove the panels for storing longer items like fishing rods or hunting rifles. The Du-Ha is made in the USA of tough...

  • Does the Rhino Rack Fishing Rod Carrier Need to Be Removed in an Automatic Car Wash
  • I'll start out by saying that any time you mount an accessory like the Rhino Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR576F on your roof rack, you will need to remove it from the vehicle in order to take it through an automatic car wash to prevent anything from getting caught on it. Unfortunately there's not a way around this and its done to protect you from damaging your vehicle and/or damaging the car wash machinery, which would likely be an expensive fix. I'm not aware of a hitch mounted fishing...

  • Recommended Air Bags for 2021 Ram 2500 4x4
  • I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2598 for your 2021 Ram 2500. Firestone is known for their quality and construction which is a step above Air Lift. These air bags will prevent sag and improve ride quality. You will also be able to let the air out to the minimum psi when not towing or hauling so there will be no impact on ride quality. They have 4 layers of reinforced rubber and use a braided wire girdle to create a double-convoluted...

  • Actual Best Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-150
  • I'll give it to you straight Bryan...your best suspension enhancement solution for your 2018 Ford F-150 is the Roadactive suspension kit part # RAS3611-YHD. This gives you everything you are looking for with basically zero drawbacks with minor exception being that it does cost a little more than other options. You get the easily adjustable support you are wanting, maintenance free, improves handling and ride quality loaded and unloaded, and installs easily.

  • Recommendation for Bolt-On Ratchet Straps to Secure Polaris ATV to Trailer
  • To secure your Polaris ATV to the trailer I recommend taking a look at the CamBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps # IMF18800. These ratcheting tie-downs can be permanently bolted to your trailer to allow for much quicker (and cleaner) loading and unloading. They each feature a safe working load limit of 1,167 pounds and the push-to-release levers let you loosen the straps with ease. Two ratchet straps are included. You might consider getting two sets so that you can have all...

  • What Fastway E2 Weight Distribution System do you Recommend for my 2017 Heartland Camper
  • I think the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control part # FA92-00-0800 that you looked at will be a great fit for your North Trail 21FBS. You can set it up with your standard load in the camper and when you do haul your ATV in the bed of the truck you can adjust the brackets slightly higher to increase the effect and keep your handling and ride quality consistent.

  • Using Rhino Rack # 564U Ski/Snowboard Carrier to Carry Fishing Poles on OEM Roof Rack of 2013 Tacoma
  • Although the Rhino Rack Ski and Snowboard carrier is not specifically designed for that purpose, many folks (including my Rhino Rack representative) have successfully used the carrier for fishing poles. The rubber cushions on the inside edges of the carriers will grip the poles snugly, preventing them from siding out of the carrier. The universal mounts that the # RR574 Ski/Board Carrier uses will fit crossbars up to 3-1/8 inches wide. As long as the crossbars on your truck are not any...

  • Solution to Prevent Fishing Pole Weights from Hitting Vehicle Roof from Wind in Transport
  • Since there isn't a pad setup we can recommend to protect the roof of your 2016 Honda CR-V when carrying the fishing poles the best solution we have would be either to take off everything from the line on the fishing pole before travelling or to use a roof mounted cargo box like the Sportrack Horizon part # SR7011. Having the poles in a box would prevent the weights and everything else from making contact with the roof and would also do a better job in general to protect the poles.

  • Front Mount Hitch and Winch Recommendation for 2014 Ford F-150 4x4 with EcoBoost Engine
  • You can certainly use a front mount hitch with a winch mounting plate to provide a winch at the front of your 2014 Ford F-150. For a front mount hitch for your truck, I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C31068. No drilling is required to install this hitch, but you may need to trim the front air dam and/or front fascia. This hitch offers 9,000 pound capacity for line pull, and a 500 pound vertical load capacity. I have attached an installation video of this hitch on a 2014...

  • Can Truck Tires be Used on a Trailer Rim
  • I can't recommend that you tow your trailer with truck tires on it. The best recommendation I can give would be to replace your tires with the same size you currently have. Tire failure is usually caused by a few things. It can be from overloading the trailer, improper tire inflation, and/or exceeding the speed rating for the tire. You should verify that the tire capacity you have for you trailer is adequate for how much your trailer weighs. The pressure ran in the tires makes a big...

  • In order to obtain replacement hardware for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13651 which is a fit for a 2010 Ford Escape, you'll need to use the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches part # RHK. I don't have a way to offer specific hardware from the entire kit separately.
