The Brophy tie downs # HSAB should only be mounted to make contact with the metal of the bed so I would not recommend them for your 2002 Ford F-250 unless you can remove those caps. Since you are trading in the camper for perhaps another camper the best solution is to use custom fit frame mounted camper tie downs.

There are a few options depending on how your truck is configured. I have linked the main page for your truck. For example if you have an 8 foot bed without any board or step under the truck bed you can use front tie downs # TLF2011. For a short bed you would use # TLF2007.

For an 8 foot bed that does have boards or steps under the bed the front would be # TLF4006 and for a short use # TLF4007.

For the rear tie downs if the truck has an 8 or 6-3/4 foot bed and factory trailer hitch use # TLF3001. If it has an aftermarket hitch not made by TorkLift use # TLR3500. If it has a TorkLift SuperHitch use # TLR3503. And if it has a Torklift SuperHitch Magnum hitch use # TLR3504.

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…

Answer 6

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

Answer 9

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

The proper extension for your setup would be the one that allows you to have clearance of your hitch mounted accessory and also allows you to still be able to pull the steps down. If the receiver tube sticks out past the camper too far then you will…
