48" Hitch Extension For a 2013 Ford F-350 Capable Of Pulling 10,000LBS

Question

Question:

good day, I have the Reese 41inch/48inch hitch extension and it works great with my truck camper and up to 7500lbs towing with weight distribution set up. What I am looking for is a way to carry 8500lbs min or 10,000lbs with a extension. Do you have any products that can do this? Thanks

The TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension # TLE1548 is the only 48" hitch extension we carry capable of supporting the 10,000lbs of trailer weight you are wanting. This extension must be used with the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLF1002 on your 2013 Ford F-350. The Extension # TLE1548 is capable of towing up to 12,000lbs with up to 1,200lbs of tongue weight when using a weight distribution hitch. Without a weight distribution hitch trailer weight is limited to 6,000lbs with 600lbs of tongue weight.

I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET with its built in sway control. This will make the towing safer and is for trailers with a tongue weight of 800-1,200lbs and trailer weight up to 12,000lbs.

Answer 1

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…

Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we…

Answer 4

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…

Answer 5

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 7

The current Torklift tie down part #TLD3101 that you have installed on your 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 only fits if you have the factory hitch. If you go with the SuperHitch part #TLD1100 you would need to change your rear tie down to the part #TLR3503.

Answer 8

I'm assuming your 2024 F-250 has the 6-3/4' bed. If that is correct, the right tie-downs are in fact the #TLF3008 and #TL77CR. TorkLift has accounted for the bed access steps on the 2024 model and confirmed these will fit your truck.

Answer 9

There is not a plug and play adapter for your Lance connector that we are aware of. Typically this is installed by the Lance dealer. A junction box/7-way plug kit like #HS381-9000 is an option you have to convert the camper to match the 7-way RV…

Answer 10

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…

Answer 11

Hey Robert, sorry it can be a bit confusing navigating all those facets for the camper tie downs, but I did go ahead and find those tie downs you were looking for. For the front, you'll want the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs #TL87CR (TorkLift P/N…

The Hellwig Adjustable Big Wig Rear Anti-Sway Bar #HE94FR is only going to leave a few inches between it and the spare tire, as you can see in the attached picture. Depending on how far forward you have the tire it could potentially interfere with…
