2012 Ford Questions and Answers

• Will the Brophy Camper Tie Downs # TDSF Fit a 2013 Ford F150
  
• The Stake Pocket Mount Camper Tie Downs, # TDSF, are a universal fit item intended to fit as many trucks as possible. But there is no fit guide available stating which trucks are compatible. It is still very likely that they will fit your 2013 Ford F-150. Check out the picture I attached that shows the dimensions of this product. You may compare them to your stake pockets to determine if they will fit. These should clear the sides of your box and eliminate the rubbing you are experiencing.

• Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a Carbon Frame Bike and 2012 Ford Escape
  
• Most owners of carbon frame bikes shy away from hanging style racks for the reasons you are concerned about. It is possible with any rack that it could scuff or otherwise damage the carbon frame. If you are going to go with a hanging style bike rack I recommend the Thule Helium Aero, # TH9042. It has advanced cradles with road dampening technology and soft surfaces that are much less likely to damage a carbon frame. The straps have been re-designed to prevent over tightening which can also damag

• What is the Overall Diameter of Trailer Lug Nut # 12CLN
  
• I went out to the warehouse and pulled lug nut # 12CLN. The widest part of the cone measured 0.90 inches so just under 1 inch in diameter. I have included a picture showing the measurement for you.

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2012 Ford F-150 Crew Cab w/5-1/2 Foot Bed
  
• If the rear gross axle weight rating is 3,850 pounds, you need to stay below that. Allowing a little cushion room would be ideal. If it were me I would look at no more than 3,500 pounds. You actually cannot use a sliding 5th wheel hitch. On a 5-1/2 foot bed you HAVE to use a stationary hitch and a Sidewinder to get the extra clearance needed to make tight turns. First you will need an installation kit. You can use # RP30080. I have linked the instructions and a video showing a typical in

• Parts Needed to Install a Reese 20k Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch in a 2012 Ford F350SD with 8 ft Bed
  
• The fist thing you will need is an installation kit. For that I would recommend a custom kit specifically designed to fit your 2012 Ford F350 SD with a long bed since custom kits install in a bout half the time and minimize drilling. For that I would recommend the Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # RP50073-58. I attached installation instructions and an install video for you to check out also. Once you have the rail kit installed you would be able to install a Reese Select Plus 5th Wheel Tr

• Weight Distribution/Sway Control for Travel Trailer w/1,460 lbs Tongue Weight and 2012 Ford F-250
  
• Since the trailer tongue weight is so high and you have a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch, I recommend Strait-Line Weight Distribution system, # RP66075. This system has a tongue weight capacity range of 1,000 to 1,700 pounds. The problem is that you may have to modify or remove the items on the trailer tongue, primarily the chest and platform the battery is setting on in order to use the system. The lift brackets on this system will be centered 30 inches back from the center of the ball cavity on t

• Does Using a Single Leaf Double-Eye Trailer Spring Allow for a Smoother Ride
  
• If the other spring has the same capacity as # TE30, rated for 3,000 pounds, then you will not experience any difference in ride quality. One thing to consider is if the springs are mounted on top of the axle, going to a single leaf spring like TE30 will cause the deck of the trailer to sit lower. I have included a link to our FAQ article on double-eye trailer suspension for you.

• Will the Thule Raceway 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback
  
• The Thule Raceway # TH9002 does fit the 2012 Ford Focus hatchback. We have not had a hatchback in to make a video yet but it is listed as a fit. I actually own this bike rack and it is the easiest rack to install and remove that I have ever used. On my sons and wifes bikes, we have to use adapter bars, # TH982XT, because they do not have top frame bars that go straight across. The adapters allow the bikes to fit better and provides better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how th

• Does Titan Uni-Servo Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly, Part # T1878700, Use Aluminum or Zinc Servo

• Will Bluetooth in a 2012 Ford F-250 Interfere with a Wireless Back Up Camera
  
• Any wireless camera system, including # SH02, is susceptible to interference from any other wireless device that operates on 2.4 GHz (like a Bluetooth or in-car internet). Some things that will lessen the likelihood or severity of the interference is an unobstructed path from the camera to the monitor, a short distance between the camera and monitor, and of course turning off anything you can that operates on 2.5 GHz. But I cannot promise you will not still experience interference since the truc

• Trailer Wiring Harness and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2012 Ford F-150 XL Truck
  
• The wiring harness I recommend for your 2012 Ford F-150 XL truck is the Hopkins 4-Pole Adapter # 37185. This item will adapt the 4 pole wiring on your truck to a 7 pole round plug and a 4 pole flat. If you follow the wiring harness for your factory 4 pole, you can locate where the 4 pole plugs into another harness. In this second harness, you can strip back some of the wire loom and there you should see a blue and black (or orange) wire. You will be able to tap the blue and black wire from t

• Bike Carrying Options for 2012 Ford Mustang Coupe
  
• The two most convenient methods of carrying a bike rack on your vehicle would be a trunk mount rack that would attach to the trunk lid or a hitch mounted rack. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Trunk mounted racks typically require a lower initial cost, but they are not compatible with all vehicles. They are best for occasional use because it is not recommended to permanently leave the rack attached to the vehicle. Before installing a trunk mounted bike rack, it is import

• Trailer Tire and Wheel Combo with a 15 Inch Wheel and 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
  
• For a 5 on 5 bolt pattern I have included a link to the available tire and wheel combos that we offer. The tires on these wheels is size 205/75-15. A 225/75-15 tire will not fit on the 15 inch wheels that we carry that have the 5 on 5 bolt pattern. Our 5 on 5 wheels are 5 inches wide and the 225/75-15 tires will only fit on wheels that are 6 to 7 inches wide (measured from bead seat to bead seat). I have included a link to our tire size FAQ chart for you.

• Heavy Duty Weight Distribution System for a 14K Trailer with an I-Beam Frame
  
• I spoke with my contact at Reese and he said that you will need to use a standard weight distribution kit like the Heavy Duty Trunnion Weight Distribution System # RP66131 that you have referenced, for your I-beam trailer. To use the Heavy Duty Trunnion Weight Distribution System, # RP66131, you will need to have a steel plate 5 or 6 inches wide welded, by an experienced welder, at 30 inches on center from the center of the hitch ball. Before modifying the trailer frame you will need to check

• Will WeatherTech No-Drill Mud Flap Set, Part # WT110003-120003, Fit 2012 Ford F-150
  
• The WeatherTech No-Drill Mud Flap Set, Part # WT110003-120003, fits model years 2004 to 2012 Ford F-150s with the factory-installed fender flares. Dealer-installed fender flares may differ from factory models. Please note that the front mud flaps will not fit models with factory running boards; the rear mud flaps will not fit on Flareside/Stepside models. SVT Raptor models are also incompatible. I have included written installation instructions so you can compare the photo illustrations in

• Vehicle Wiring Converter to Separate Turn Signals from Brake Lights on a 2012 Ford F-150
  
• If you want to add separate turn signals from the combined circuit on the truck then you will need a vehicle to vehicle converter # 118158. The combined left turn/brake light will go to the yellow input wire. The combined right turn/brake light will go to the green input wire. The white wire must be grounded to the vehicle frame. On the output side you will then have a yellow wire just for left turn signal, a green wire just for right turn signal, and a red wire that will only carry brake lig

• Using a 2 Inch Hitch Cover in a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  
• We have one hitch cover for 2-1/2 inch hitches, # 45144. but what you can use is a reducer sleeve, # 58102, in your 2-1/2 inch hitch to make it a 2 inch to use hitch cover # AH-10256 or any other hitch cover. I also recommend a locking hitch pin # RH5-XL to secure the cover and to deter theft.

• Custom 5th Wheel Rail Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F250

That is basically the difference between the # RP50073-58 and the # RP56002-53 that you referenced.

• Comparing Drum Brakes to Disc Brakes of a 5th Wheel Trailer
  
• I always recommend choosing disc brakes over drum brakes if you have the option. Disc brakes will provide more stopping power, less fade and require less maintenance because they have fewer moving parts. If your 5th wheel trailer currently has electric disc brakes and you want to convert to hydraulic disc brakes, then you will need not only the brakes, but a brake line kit and an electric-over-hydraulic actuator for disc brakes. You will also need a brake controller for your tow vehicle if y

• Where to Locate Brake Controller in 2012 Ford Van
  
• Aftermarket trailer brake controllers, such as the popular Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885, need to be positioned carefully in order to operate properly. I have included a link to a video demonstrating a typical installation. Proportional brake controllers like the Prodigy rely on the degree of tow vehicle braking force to determine how much braking signal to send to the trailer brakes. This is accomplished when an internal sensor in the brake controller detects the changes in the tow vehic

• Comparing Jaw Types on Fifth-Wheel Trailer Hitches
  
• In regards to fifth-wheel hitches, there are a number of jaw types. A slide bar jaw is found on the less expensive hitches, such as the Pro Series # PS30129. This type of jaw is a secure one for your trailer but you will notice some king pin noise and some chucking as the fit is looser. This design will automatically close around the king pin once it is in place where the double- and single-jaw models will not. The double jaw design is more snug and secure than a slide bar jaw and you will he

• Rail Placement for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit # RP50073-58 on 2012 Ford F-250/F-350
  
• Yes, I can tell you the measurement you will need. From the rear edge of the truck bed to the rear edge of the forward most rail should be 54-3/16 inches. This measurement is actually in the instructions for installation kit # RP50073-58 which I have linked for you to view. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. After you have the forward rail in the correct place, the easiest way to get the other rail in position is to set the hitch in the forward rail

• Yes, you can use your Reese Signature Series 5th wheel trailer hitch in your 2012 Ford F-250 w/o the factory prep package. You will just need the correct installation kit for the truck. For your 2012 Ford F-250 you will need kit # RP30126 and you will also need adapter # RP58419 since you have the Signature Series hitch. I have linked the installation instructions for you to view.

• Will the Draw Tite Hitch # 41004 fit a 1992 F-Super Duty/F450 W/Liftgate
  
• I do not have a confirmed fit for your 1992 Ford F450 with the Eagle Lift liftgate, but I spoke to my contact at Draw Tite and he informed me of a way for you to determine by taking a few measurements on your vehicle. He said that from the rear most mounting hole to the end of the receiver tube is 10-7/8 inches. So if you can find that hole and then measure out 10-7/8 inches and that distance is not too far for your lift gate to still work you should be good. My contact did say that most t

• Replacement Trim Rings for Reese Aftermarket Elite Series Installation Kit on 2013 Ford Super Duty
  
• I spoke with my contact at Reese and he said that all aftermarket Elite Series installation kits use the same trim ring # RP58458. These cannot be used to replace the trim rings if the truck has the factory installed kit. But since you have said you just installed the kit it sounds like it is aftermarket so # RP58458 would fit.

• Troubleshooting a Blown Trailer wiring Harness on a 2012 Ford Edge EcoBoost
  
• I hate to say it, but the company who installed your harness is probably right. We see what you are describing pretty often and the problem is almost always a short on the trailer. Or its that the lights on the trailer draw too much amperage for the converter and it shorts out like that. The reason the box will short out and not the fuse is because the fuse is between the battery and the converter, whereas the short is on the other side of the converter box. The fuse protects the converter bo

• Purpose of Spacer Plate Included with Curt Friction Sway Control Unit # 17200
  
• I spoke with my contact at Curt Manufacturing, and was told that the spacer plate you describe is typically used if you are planning on bolting the ball to the trailer frame (instead of using the self-tapping screws). The ball would be stacked on top of the spacer plate then bolted to the trailer frame. It is not necessary to use the plate, you can use the self tapping screws to attach the ball directly to the trailer frame, or you can weld the ball plate to the trailer frame if you wish to d
