I do have an option that will allow you to use a bike rack on the rear of the vehicle while towing a tow dolly, however, there currently are not any dual hitch adapters that will allow you to use a 10" drop ball mount and remain within your weight capacity. Therefore, the only way to use a hitch bike rack on the rear of an RV while also towing a car with a tow dolly, would involve a bike rack that slides over the ball mount.
The only bike rack that will slide over the ball mount and is... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51322 will allow you to use a Curt brake controller like the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller part # C51170 on a 2020 Ford Explorer (All Models). I checked with Curt just to confirm that the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers is indeed correct for a 2020 Ford Explorer so you can be confident this is the correct harness.
The plug will be located under the driver dash, near the center console... view full answer...
If your 2017 Ford Explorer has the factory prep towing package installed, then you might have a brake controller plug-in wiring on the vehicle to connect your brake controller. However, not all models with the tow package had the wiring installed and you might have to install an extra kit.
One way to check would be to see if you have a 7-way trailer connector already installed on the rear of your Explorer. If the 7-way is present, then you should have the prep wiring install to plug in... view full answer...
To flat tow your 2016 Ford Explorer 3.5L you are going to need a tow bar, base plate kit, wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and charge line to keep your battery from dying. I have listed all the parts you will need below along with any installation videos I was able to find.
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights item # RM-676
Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-524445-5
Wiring Harness:... view full answer...
In order to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2015 Ford Explorer, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118272 which is a complete plug and play option that will not require you to cut or splice any wires. In order to mount the 7-way to the rear of the vehicle you will need to use both part # 18140 and part # PK12711U. Tekonsha brand wiring products are considered as one of the best in the industry. If you need help with installation you can referred to the attached video... view full answer...
It is certainly possible to switch from hubs/drums to idler hubs on a trailer axle. For a boat trailer with 3,500 lb axle(s), the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K or part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K for EZ-Lube would be just what you need. There would be no need for a new spindle either. view full answer...
We do have trailer hitch receivers to fit your 2017 Ford Explorer but the Draw-Tite # 75278 will not fit. It's for several different models of GM vans.
Instead you'll want to use Draw-Tite # 76034 on your Explorer. I've linked an install video for you. If you're going to be towing a trailer you'll also need a wiring harness. I recommend the Tekonsha 4-way # 118540.
You'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached a link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch... view full answer...
Roadmaster does make a direct connect base plate kit that fits your 2013 Ford Explorer with the part # 4427-3A.
Based on the light on your dash and the info you listed I'd need to see a picture of it so that I can compare it to what is offered now from Roadmaster to see if there's a second vehicle kit available or not. view full answer...
Since you already have a Stowmaster tow bar and Blue Ox Patriot there are just a few more parts you will need though I would need a bit more information from you to get you exactly what you need. Is your 3.5L engine the EcoBoost? Do you have adaptive cruise control? And finally, do you have adjustable pedals? If you get back to me I can give you everything you'll need to flat tow your Explorer. view full answer...
There is not a brake controller wiring harness adapter port on your 2017 Ford Explorer. The adapter port was available on previous years of the Ford Explorer but has since been phased out. In order to install a brake controller such as the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 you will need to use the Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers part # 5506 if you have a factory 7-way or the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but you can't add the Reese Dual Cam High-Performance Sway Control for Steel Trailer Frames part # RP26002 to the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System. There isn't really a way to increase sway control if the system is setup properly. I suggest redistributing the weight on the trailer or swapping out the system for one that offers more sway control like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37101ET which is the upgraded version of the system you... view full answer...
According to my contact at Thule, the mounting hardware that came with the Thule Summit cargo box was designed to fit round, square and most factory installed crossbars. As long as the crossbars on your 2013 Ford Explorer are not wider than 3-5/8 inches, then you should have no problem mounting the cargo box to your roof rack.
The mounting hardware that came with the Summit cargo box is adjustable, so you will want to be sure you are using the outer most holes on the brackets (see photo).... view full answer...
You can still add a 4-way wiring harness to your 2020 Ford Police Interceptor, though I did some checking and there isn't a plug-in type of option. So what that means is you would need to use a hardwire wiring harness, which is the following:
- Trailer Connector # C59236
This kit will allow you to install a 4-way so you can connect a trailer to your its hitch. view full answer...
That does look like half of the factory wiring usually used to install wiring kits that fit the OEM wiring like the Curt kit part # C56172 which you can see in the install video I attached. If you only have that single harness though you won't be able to use this kit since it needs the matching side. So instead you'd need a kit like the part # HM40285 which installs by plugging inline with the taillight connectors. view full answer...
I would be happy to help you find a 4-flat for your 2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor that does not require the tow package to connect. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118599. The T-One connector plugs directly into your Ford Explorer's existing wiring without cutting or splicing of wires. The powered ModuLite reduces the strain on your wiring system. view full answer...
Yes! Both the Curt # C13550 and Draw-Tite # 75132 trailer hitch options are designed to installed directly under the 1-1/4" receiver currently on your 2005 Ford Explorer. The installation for either one will actually be pretty easy as they have been rated at 3 out of 10 for installation difficulty.
I have attached a picture so that you can get an idea of how the 2" trailer hitch receiver will look with your OEM receiver as well as some installation videos for you to reference. If you let... view full answer...
The screw you're referring to for the Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3151 # THKIT3151 is part number #50435. Thule usually lists the spare parts on their site, but for this specific kit they have nothing listed. I opened up one of the fit kits and measured the screw and found it to be a size 12 TORX bolt x 16mm. We do not sell the bolt separately so you would need to buy the entire kit to get replacement bolts. view full answer...
There won't be any different in fitment when it comes to trims for your 2021 Ford Explorer so I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e29YR because it has a matte black finish that blends in better with your vehicle trim and will do a better job at hiding any scratches from road debris than the other glossy finishes that other trailer hitches have.
To round out your towing setup I recommend using the T-One Wiring Kit # 118599 because it's the most reliable (you'll need the... view full answer...
What you're seeing isn't that uncommon with the way the coil springs attach, and the air bags will still function properly. The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL87CD are confirmed to fit all models of the 2022 Ford Explorer as long as you don't have the factory air suspension system. These will help get you that extra support you're looking for to eliminate the rest of the rear sag. view full answer...
I do show the trailer hitch options for a 2017 Ford Explorer as fitting the police interceptor models. The police interceptor models will all be the same for the most part so installation and fit should not vary. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98867. I took a look at the instructions and there is no mention of modifying or removing any exiting crossmembers or supports. I also did not see any reviews of incompatibility with police interceptor models so you should... view full answer...
