Thanks for the picture of the trailer wiring connector you have. Based on that you are in need of a 7-way blade extension like the part # C56080 for a 7 foot long extension or part # HM20049 for an 8 foot long extension.
Or if you are looking for something shorter you'd want the part # TLW6024 which is 24 inches long. view full answer...
To fight trailer sway your best defense is proper trailer loading. If you can load your trailer so that 10 to 15 percent of the total weight of the trailer is tongue weight you will be doing well.
Sway control can help with sway from intense wind or from a passing semi-truck, but it will not fix a trailer that wants to sway at a certain speed.
Weight distribution will take some of the tongue weight and actually distribute it back up to the front axle of the trailer which will also help... view full answer...
Hey Michael,
Adding to or enhancing your suspension would help with body roll and side-to-side movement. When it comes to anti-sway bars you'll want to go with whichever is the thickest. The Hellwig # HE74GR is 7/8" thick so you can measure your factory bar and see if it's thicker.
You could also install some Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1168R in the rear and front # CSS-1168F to stiffen up the suspension and also help with load leveling support. view full answer...
Sure thing!
To complete your flat tow setup for your 2018 Ford Expedition, you will also need:
1. A base plate kit, like the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524457-5. You'll need a base plate kit to connect your tow bars to your toad vehicle.
2.The next thing you're going to need is a braking system, like the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9160, with the RoadMaster BrakeMaster Custom Seat Adapter # RM-88318.

Hey Chuck,
Malone has a spare tire and mount for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer for a Heavy Kayak # MAL73FR with part # MAL33FR. It's just a simple U-bolt that you'll use to clamp the wheel to the frame of the trailer, just like the picture below. view full answer...
Hello Brian,
Thanks for finally finding an opportunity to write in.
Yes, the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System # BW78FR would be a great choice for your 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor with the HD towing package and your Rockwood Mini Lite 2505BH trailer.
Since your Expedition has the factory 2" receiver, the # BW78FR is the correct version to go with. The Continuum is a really nice setup because it combines weight distribution and sway control into one system that is very smooth... view full answer...
For your 2017 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 267BHSW travel trailer, I recommend the Ultra-Fab 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver for Trailer Frames # UF35-946403. This is a very nice weld on option adjustable from 47-1/8 to 77 inches. For a bolt on option, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. The Curt model recommends the use of stabilization strap # 18050. The weld on options are nice because they don't require any drilling into your frame, but... view full answer...
Both the ProPride 3P part # PR57QR and the B and W Continuum part # BW78FR allow backing up and work extremely well but since there isn't a ProPride system that would be ideal for the tongue weight of your Winnebago Minnie FLX2306 I would go with the # BW78FR as it has a tongue weight range that matches what your trailer would have.
With any WD system that allows backing up you will want to make sure that you are backing up mostly in a straight line as tight turns can cause jackknifing issues. view full answer...
Hey Warren, thanks for reaching out and congrats on the new Expedition. For your 22-foot fiberglass boat in that 5,700 to 6,500 lb range, you’re smart to look at rear support. For the 2026 Expedition, the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1168R are the suspension enhancement option we offer. They install inside the factory rear coils and provide progressive support under load, helping reduce sag, keep the vehicle level, and improve overall stability without changing your unloaded... view full answer...
Hello Martin,
Happy to help you get into the right equalizers! I don’t have a database that tells me exactly what was installed on each trailer, so we’ll need to rely on a quick measurement to make sure you get the correct fit.
You asked about the AllTrek 4000, which is a great option! We list it by wheelbase on the product page, but since there isn’t a true standard for trailer suspension, the best way to match it is to what you currently have. You’ll want to measure the hole to hole... view full answer...
When replacing your existing detector with the Atwood RV Carbon Monoxide and Propane Gas Detector # AT36681 you will not need to disconnect the 12V trailer batteries. It also does not matter which of the two power wires you connect first. The third (black) wire is for ground.
I have attached a short video review on this unit that you can also check out. view full answer...
Hi Mark; I recommend upgrading your shackles as well while you're at it using the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers # K71-358-00. This includes wet bolts, bronze bushings, and 1/2" thick shackle straps so you can have confidence they will last. If you're set on just replacing the bolts and bushings you can use the # D014-077-00 and then for the wet bolts # LC126197.

Hey Lance! The largest carrying capacity for a roof box is 21 cu ft. Out of the available options in this size I recommend the Yakima SkyBox NX XXL Rooftop Cargo Box # Y43QD. I have used the SkyBox myself and I love it. Incredibly easy to install, easy to use, just a great experience overall. I have used a few others, and own a Thule, but the SkyBox has been my favorite.
For a roof rack I recommend the Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack for Raised Rails # Y42GD. This uses JetStream crossbars... view full answer...
Hey Mark! Yes, the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1168R will still fit the coil springs on your 2024 Expedition. This works with all models, including the Timberline with that factory suspension lift.
Are you adding these for extra support while towing or something else? view full answer...
Hey, George.
The Blue Ox Patriot isn’t available by itself. The only way to get it is with part # BLU37TR. Blue Ox does offer the other components as replacement parts, which we also carry.
The controller you currently have may not be compatible with a newer unit. The newer controllers are compatible with older units, but the older controllers have not been tested to confirm if they will work with the newer units.

If you have self-adjusting assemblies like the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Brake Kit # 23-468-469 installed on your trailer, they will indeed continue to adjust as you pull the trailer around. It does sound like you performed the initial manual adjustment correctly, so you should see improved performance as you continue to use them. Driving around in a parking lot and using the brake controller's manual override like you mentioned is a good way to do this.
Otherwise, since the brakes were recently... view full answer...
Hello Scott, thanks for reaching out. The Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket # PK11893 connects to a standard USCAR connector. So it can absolutely be used on a 2000 Ford Expedition, so long as the vehicle is pre-wired with a USCAR connector. If your Expedition came with a factory 7-way plug, it will already have the USCAR connector behind the bumper, so the # PK11893 can easily be plugged in.
Does your Expedition have any kind of factory trailer connector? Reply... view full answer...

The Progressive Dynamics PD8355 converter section can be replaced without replacing the entire power center. For lithium batteries, I recommend upgrading to the Progressive Dynamics # PD4655v Replacement Converter Section, which is rated for 55 amps and is specifically designed for charging lithium batteries.

Hello Randy,
Thanks for writing in.
Based on your description, I don't think the folding feature of the etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e96ZR is likely to work. When the carrier is folded into the upright position, it pivots very close to the bumper. If your 4-inch square bumper sits directly against the rear of the trailer with little to no clearance, the carrier may contact the trailer before it can fully fold up.
I've attached a couple of photos showing the carrier in the... view full answer...
