Expert Answers about Pro Series

  • How Long is the Tow Ready 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack Mount
  • From the back of the upright bar to the front of the bike rack on the Tow Ready 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack, item # 63124, the distance is 26 inches. This makes the total length from the center of the hitch pin hole 34 inches when installed on the vehicle. This bike rack will work with many styles of kids bikes but you may require an adapter like the Swagman Easy-Out Women and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter, item # 64005, to adapt some child or women bike frames.

  • Powered Bulldog Jack Recommendation for a 24 ft Flatbed Gooseneck Trailer with Camper
  • The best recommendation I can give you would be to replace your current jack with a Bulldog Jack like our part # BD182804 and then get a Bulldog Powered-Drive Kit # BD1824200100. The powered drive kit is only confirmed to fit Bulldog jacks so you would not be able to install the kit on your current jack.

  • Can Hitch Mounted Bike Racks be Added to Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers to Carry Bikes and Cargo Items
  • We do have some options that will allow you to carry cargo and bikes on your 2012 Toyota Highlander, however, bike racks should not be mounted to a hitch mounted cargo carrier. The opening that you see on this cargo carrier is simply a hollow tube, not a receiver. Adding a bike rack to a hitch mounted cargo carrier would place too much weight too far back from the trailer hitch. This will create additional stress that the trailer hitch and your vehicle frame cannot support. It is similar to

  • Will Pro Series 5th-Wheel Hitch # PS30094 Fit On 2012 GMC Sierra
  • Based on my research, the Pro Series 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch # PS30094 you referenced is a good fit for your 2012 GMC Sierra 1500. It is recommended for trucks with shorter beds as it can move 10 inches closer to the tailgate to increase the turning radius thanks to its slider. It also has a 4-way pivoting head that helps make hookup more secure. I have provided links to a video review of this hitch as well as a video of its typical installation. If the 5th wheel came with Reese or Pro Ser

  • Best Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier for a Dodge Sprinter 250
  • Platform-style hitch-mount cargo carriers such as those shown on the link provided come in a variety of sizes. Some can be folded up when not in use and some include ramps to facilitate loading. These typically have a steel mesh decking material and are available with weight capacities ranging from 300 to 600 lbs. However, these are designed for cargo loads, where the total weight is distributed across a large part of the carrier surface area. They are not intended to support a person, where

  • Recommendation for a Weight Distribution and a Brake Controller on a 2010 Toyota Tundra
  • For your 2010 Toyota Tundra towing a 29 foot travel trailer with a gross weight of 7900 pounds I would recommend the Reese # RP66084 weight distribution system. This system will accommodate the gross towing weight of up to 12,000 pounds and tongue weight of 600 - 1200 pounds, which will cover towing your travel trailer. It uses a unique straight line weight distribution system that is easy to use. Another advantage to this system is the use of dual-cam sway control using a trunnion bar systems,

  • 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

  • Can Weight Distribution be Used with a Class II Trailer Hitch on a 2010 Subaru Forester
  • I do have a solution for you but first weight distribution cannot be used with a Class II trailer hitch. Class II trailer hitches are not built for or tested for use with weight distribution so manufacturers do not make any systems that will fit a Class II trailer hitch. I do have a couple of recommendations that might work for you. First, if you can lower the trailers gross weight, that will lower the tongue weight. Or if you can move any weight on the trailer further back, that will also lo

  • Weight Distribution for a 2009 Honda Pilot and 3,000 Pound Travel Trailer
  • First you will want to check the wording in the owners manual very carefully. If it says that you cannot use weight distribution then I cannot advise going against that recommendation. However if it states it could be used it is just not recommended then I would contact a Honda dealer to get further input. If you determine that weight distribution can be used then you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the

  • Will Pro Series 5th Wheel Hitch and Installation Kit PS30132 Fit a 2001 Ford F-350 Dually
  • The # PS30132 Pro Series fifth-wheel hitch and installation kit includes a universal rail kit that will work on your 2001 Ford F-350, but from my research it does look like Ford offered a short bed dually model in the 2001 year. If your truck has a short bed, you would need to go with a fifth-wheel hitch that has a slider instead. The slider prevents the trailer from hitting the back of the cab while maneuvering into tight spots. A comparable hitch with a slider would be the Pro Series 20k

  • Best Option for Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2010 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 ft Bed
  • The best option for towing a fifth wheel trailer with your 2010 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2 ft bed is using a sidewinder pin box and a fixed fifth wheel hitch. This is the only option that will allow you to safely execute a 90 degree turn. Sidewinder pin boxes are designed to fit specific OEM pin boxes, so if you can tell me the manufacturer and model number of your pin box (Lippert 1621, Fabex PB-600, Leland 7921, etc.), then I can recommend a specific sidewinder that will work for you.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit for 2004 Ford F450 with F350 Bed
  • Reese offers a universal fifth wheel hitch installation kit, part # RP30035 that is compatible with your 2004 F450. There are some model years where the F350 and the F450 could use the same custom install kit, part # RP50082, but the custom install kit has not been tested on a 2004 model. If your F450 with the F350 bed on it was originally a cab and chassis truck, the install kit will not work, as the frame layout of cab and chassis models is different. If your truck originally had a bed o

  • Can a Pro Series 15k 5th Wheel Hitch be Converted to a Slider Hitch
  • Yes, you could install a Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head # PS30099 from a Pro Series 15k hitch onto a Pro Series Fifth Wheel Slider w/ Rollers for 15K and 16K Head # RP30092 and you would be ready to tow a fifth wheel trailer.

  • Will a Pro Series Weight Distribution System # PS49902 Work on a Trailer with a Propane Tank
  • You should be fine. The friction sway control components of the Pro Series Weight Distribution System # PS49902 do not need any vertical clearance above the frame rails, so even though it will attach at a distance of 24 inches from the center of the ball in the coupler it should not interfere. The only thing that will need vertical clearance would be above the chain hangers for raising the spring bars into position. These should get installed 31 inches behind the center of the coupler ball so

  • Can Heat Exhaust Damage Luggage using Reese Hitch Mounted Carrier on a 2011 Citadel with Dual Pipes
  • According to my engineering contact at Reese, you should not have a heat issue using Reese carrier #63153 on your 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel, however, normal care is needed. The good news is that with your exhaust pipes being 15 inches from the carrier, the chance of exhaust heat or fume damage to your luggage is slim. A good way to verify any possible issues is to take a short test run. At the end of the short trip you can see if any of your luggage has had any issues with where it sat

  • Is a Sway Bar Needed to Tow a 1990 Jayco Camper with a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
  • While friction sway control like the # 83660 is going to improve the tracking on the trailer and make towing a more enjoyable experience, it is not really a requirement. Sway control is more subjective, in that one person could tow the trailer and feel comfortable but another person could tow the same trailer and feel like it sways too much for their taste. From my research, the 4WD Colorado models have a towing capacity of 4000lbs at most when properly equipped, with some of the 2.9L mode

  • Weight Distribution for a 4,600 Pound Loaded Equipment Trailer and 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  • When selecting a weight distribution system you will go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the truck. Trailer tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight so for a trailer weighing 4,653 pounds that would be 463 to 698 pounds. If its weighing tongue heavy then that could be as high as 750 pounds easily like you said but you will want to measure to be certain. I have included a link

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Rail Positions on a 1999 Ford F-250
  • We do not carry Hijacker hitches but I can tell you what the measurements would be if you were using a Reese installation kit # RP30035. On a 1999 Ford F-250, from the rear edge of the truck bed to the back of the rear rail is 29-1/4 inches on light duty models or 32-1/2 inches on Super Duty models. On light duty models, this puts the center of the hitch 1-1/2 inches forward of the center of the rear axle. On Super Duty models the center of the hitch will be 4 inches forward of the center of

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier be Used on a 2012 Fiat 500 with Class I Trailer Hitch
  • The trailer hitch on your 2012 Fiat 500, # 24873, is a Class I trailer hitch so you will need a Class I compatible cargo carrier. The carrier you referenced, # TR65855, will fit a Class I trailer hitch. It was made for use with ATVs and UTVs but you can use it on your Fiat if you wanted to. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.

  • Swivel Jack Recommendation for a Bot Trailer with a 3000 lb to 5000 lb Weight Capacity
  • We have a number of jacks that fall within the 3,000 lb to 5,000 lb capacities, however, the only jack that we carry that is similar to the Pro Series, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack, # PS1401020303, is the Bulldog Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack, # BD171401. This jack has a 10 inch lift and a 5,000 lb weight capacity. If you did not want to go with the Bulldog jack, we offer pipe-mount jacks like the Pro Series Round, Pipe-Mount Swivel Jack, # PS1401420303. The inner pipe mount of this jack must be wel

  • Differences Between Pro Series and Reese 16K 5th Wheel Hitches for Towing 15,800 Lb Trailer

It is rated for 16K gross towing weight and 4000-lb tongue weight. The similarly-rated Reese R16 Serrated Dual Jaw 5th Wheel Hitch, part # RP30866, provides several worthwhile upgrades including dual serrated jaws for 360-degree king pin contact, a vibration isolation system for reduced jarring and chucking, easy-to

  • As long as your Toyota 4Runners factory trailer hitch has a 2-inch receiver, you will have no problems using the Pro Series Eclipse 4 Bike Carrier # 63124. It tilts away from the vehicle so you can more easily access your rear cargo bay and features an anti-rattle device to cut down on noise while traveling. It also has a weight capacity of 120 lbs. I have provided links to the installation instructions and a video showing the installation of this rack on a 2012 Toyota 4Runner. While the P

  • How Should a Friction Bar Sway Control System be Adjusted
  • The adjustment of any friction sway control system, including the Pro Series # 83660, is relatively simple. Basically, you will drive with the trailer loaded to determine if more or less tension is needed. Then you will either make it tighter or looser my turning the handle in 1/4 turn increments. Then do another test. Keep doing this until you reach the desired result. Friction sway control is going to make noise because it is essentially metal rubbing against a brake pad-type material. It s

  • Fit of Pro Series # 63155 Cargo Carrier in OEM Class II Receiver on 2013 GMC Terrain

I did some research, and confirmed that the 1-1/4 inch OEM hitch on the 2013 GMC Terrain is indeed a Class II hitch, so the cargo carrier will fit and would work very well for you. If the load on the carrier obscures your taillights, an optional light kit is available, part # 20174 or part # 98174LED for LED lamps. If you need to protect your gear from inclement wea

  • Will the Pro Series Axis 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack # PS1370600 Fit a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE
  • Pro Series does not give a vehicle fit guide for the Axis 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack, # PS1370600, because they do not test the bike rack to fit specific vehicles. It is very likely that this bike rack will fit your 1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE because Pro Series designed this bike rack to be a universal fit and designed it to work with most factory spoilers. All of the Thule and Yakima trunk mounted bike racks are listed to fit your vehicle, so I am confident that you will be able to use this bike

  • Does Tow Ready Anti-Rattle Pin with Lock, Part # 63147, Work with Solid Shank Cargo Carrier
  • The Tow Ready Anti-Rattle Pin with Lock, Part # 63147, works only with hitch-mount accessory items that have a hollow shank. The ProSeries Cargo Carrier for ATVs, part # TR65855, does have a solid shank on the receiver end as you noted. I checked a sample in our warehouse to confirm. Your best option for providing both anti-rattle and lock functions for your 1-1/4-inch receiver is to use two separate products, one for each function.

  • Replacing Caster on Jack with 1-7/8 Outside Tube Diameter
  • In order to choose the correct caster for your jack, we will need to know the the diameter of the inner jack tube. Given the outside diameter of your jack, most likely you would use part # AT80259 for a 1-3/4 inch tube, but you should still measure to be sure. If you hitch the trailer to a vehicle, and then raise the jack, you should be able to remove the caster you are currently using. Once the caster is removed it should be pretty simple to use a tape measure to get the diameter of that inn

  • Determining the Type of Hitch that was Previously Installed on a 2011 Chevrolet 2500HD
  • The bolt pattern that you are describing in the bed of your 2011 Chevrolet 2500HD sounds like a fifth wheel hitch with industry standard 4-bolt base rails. You can verify this by measuring the distance between the bolt holes front to back. Each of the bolt holes should be 22 inches apart on center. The 4-bolt base rails have two bolt holes per base rail on opposite ends, but people will often add a middle bolt to provide extra support (see photo). The 4-bolt base rails are used by multiple m
