• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ford F-150
  We have some great trailer hitch options for a 2018 Ford F-150 but in order to choose the correct one you'll need to know if there is a factory hitch already present. This is not the same as the hole in the bumper used to attach a hitch ball. If you don't have a factory frame mounted hitch which sounds like the case then I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C86HR which offers a simple bolt-on install. It does indeed provide a lower connection point that the factory bumper....

• Weight Distribution System for Class III Hitch on 2018 Ford F-150
  If you use a weight distribution system (WD) with Curt Class III hitch # C86HR the hitch's maximum gross trailer weight rating increases from 6K to 10K, and its tongue weight (TW) rating increases from 900-lbs to 1000-lbs. These weight capacities increase with WD since the load on the hitch is better shared between the two axles. This hitch fits the 2015 - 2019 Ford F-150 and the 2017 - 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor without a factory hitch. If you have a different hitch you'll want to check...

• Why Does 2017 Ford F-150 with EcoBoost have Two Trailer Towing Capacities
  The second higher capacity listed on your hitch is the capacity the truck would have if you used a weight distribution system installed on the trailer. A WD system uses spring bar tension between the truck and trailer to redistribute some of the tongue weight up to the front axle of the tow vehicle. This allows the weight of the trailer to basically be better distributed which allows it to have a higher towing capacity. I attached a help article for more info on this, but basically if you...

• Is the Curt C86HR Hitch Hidden Behind the Bumper on a 2022 Ford F-150
  I have attached a picture of the Curt Hitch Receiver item # C86HR you referenced installed on a Ford F-150. As you can see it is mostly obscured by the bumper.

• Recommended 7-Way Wiring Harness and Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Ford F-150
  In order to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2017 Ford F-150 with an existing 4-way trailer connector you will want to use part # ETBC7.

Some models do have the brake (blue) and hot lead (orange or red) wires already ran from under the hood to the end of the driver's side frame rail. However, these wires are hard to access and additional wire will...

• Is Frame Mounted Hitch Solution Better than Bumper Hitch of 2016 Ford F-150
  If you are considering a frame mounted hitch over your bumper ball mount/hitch I would recommend you go ahead and go the frame hitch route. This will give you quite a bit more towing capacity and the ability to use a different rise/drop ball mount so that you can tow your trailer as level as possible. The Curt hitch part # C86HR would be a really great choice for this. It's mostly hidden too which gives it a less visible look. Check out the install video and picture I attached as well.

• GCWR of 2016 Ford F-150 Super Cab With 5.0L Engine and 3.55 Axle Ratio
  I looked in the online version of the owner's manual for a 2016 Ford F-150 and according to that your GCWR will be one of four, depending on if you have a 2-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive, and your wheelbase. For a 2WD with a 145 inch wheelbase your GCWR will be 15,200 lbs, or 15,300 lbs for a 163 inch wheelbase. For a 4WD your GCWR will be 14,400 lbs for a 145 inch wheelbase or 14,500 lbs for a 163 inch wheelbase. I strongly recommend verifying this by contacting your local Ford dealer with...

• Will a Hitch Mounted Bike Rack On a 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor Trigger Blind Spot Sensors
  If you will be carrying bikes on the rear of a vehicle with blind spot sensors then you will want to turn these sensors off while you have the bikes attached as there is a possibility that the bikes or bike rack can interfere with them, same goes for the cross traffic sensors as well. The good new is that most vehicles allow you to easier turn these sensors off via the in dash settings.

• Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Trailer Wiring in 2016 Ford F-150 without Tow Package
  You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56110. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller...
