It sounds like you're looking at something similar to the Bulldog 2-Speed Tandem Landing Gear # BD500154 and are trying to determine whether or not the 2-speed operation also works when an electric motor is used. The answer to your question is-yes; the motor does operate at 2 different speeds because of the 2 separate gears on the motor and jacks. However if you're just upgrading the motor, you won't be able to operate the 2 different speeds unless your jacks also have dual gear boxes to... view full answer...
The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D has a built in battery isolator function to prevent the charger from pulling power from the start battery when the vehicle is off. This will prevent you from draining your starting battery and leaving you stranded in the boondocks.
You are correct in that if this function were not present it would cause issues, but they have accounted for that and built in the isolation to prevent that issue. view full answer...
If you were to install the EcoHitch # 306-X7239 on your 2017 Ford Fusion then you would have to permanently remove the plastic underbody panel as you can see from the attached photo which is directly from the instructions.
I have also attached a photo of how the trailer hitch looks after the installation. Removing the panel actually doesn't subtract from the look of your vehicle at all. I recommend using this trailer hitch simply because it has a 2" receiver that allows you to utilize... view full answer...
The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT can be mounted using either tracks or wrap-around clamps. If you have crossbars with integrated tracks or channels I recommend you utilize them as they make installation much faster and easier. They both work equally well aside from the ease of install aspect. view full answer...
When installing a hitch that requires drilling on your 2008 Ford Fusion, like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # C11329, you will need to use a little extra force to pull the bolts through the hole that you drilled.
When I first started here, I helped out installing a trailer hitch on a vehicle and I had the same thought that you did. I quickly found out that if you have enough of the wire threaded on the bolt, you can actually give it a good yank and it will stay on the bolt.

When installing the Draw-Tite Class I Receiver Hitch # 24897 on your 2017 Ford Fusion Energi (along with the other hitch models available for this vehicle) you will indeed want to trim the rear fascia instead of removing it completely in order to protect the battery. This really shouldn't add much if any time to the install process as it's just going to take the place of having to remove all of the nuts and screws that would be required to remove the entire panel.
The fascia will just... view full answer...
I have attached a detailed video of our installer Rob going through all the installation steps of connecting the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C56351 to a 2017 Ford Fusion. The Curt wiring harness is a confirmed fit for all model Fusions, including the hybrid. I recommend following the installation instructions and just doing what they say to do. The reason being is that the harness plugs directly into your Fusions rear tail lights on... view full answer...
On your 2012 Ford Fusion, look for a grommet or another wiring harness that is already going through the firewall. You may be able to run the power wire through the same location though it will likely be a tight squeeze.
I have a 2012 Ford Focus, not the same vehicle but similar. On the driver's side up against the firewall there is a wire running from the dash that goes through a square grommet through the firewall. Your Fusion likely has a similar set up. I took a picture of the one... view full answer...
On the Rola bike racks that take strap # 59405 there is a simple procedure for replacing the strap. First, if you look at the cradles you will see they are held to the arms by the clamping force provided by a screw and nut. Remove the screw and nut. Then at the end of each arm, on the bottoms, there will be a small screw. Remove this screw. Then all you have to do is slide everything off the end of the arm.
For each cradle assembly, the large strap, the one you are replacing, goes on... view full answer...
Yes, the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 only activates off of the brake signal for your motorhome's tail lights so you would be able to splice into the magnetic light wiring harness to get that brake signal. You will still need to ground the Invisibrake to vehicle though.
As for installing it in the trunk, you will be limited by the length of the included air line tube. You'll have to run tubing from the box to the engine bay and from the box to the pulley... view full answer...
We do not publish the torque specs for the hardware used in the hitch installations because the hitch manufacturers will occasionally change the hardware included with the hitch which in many cases will change the proper torque spec. Therefore, we simply refer folks to the installation instructions which the hitch manufacturers do a great job of keeping current. The Class II trailer hitch for your 2014 Fusion is part # C12091, and you can see the torque spec in step # 5 of the instructions... view full answer...
The 2008 and 2009 Ford Fusions are from the same generation meaning that as far as installing a trailer hitch goes, the steps and attachment points are going to be the same. The Curt hitch # C11329 will fit both the 2008 and 2009 models of the Ford Fusions.
I have included a link to the installation details for Curt Hitch Trailer Hitch, # C11329, below for reference. view full answer...
It is not recommended to reinstall the lower body fascia with the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch, # C12091, on your 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium because of the final position of the hitch once it is installed. It may be possible to mount the fascia with the hitch installed, but you will have to do extensive trimming to make it fit with the hitch. The side mounting brackets, crosstube and receiver sit in the same location as the lower body fascia, so you would basically have to cut around the... view full answer...
According to page 220 of the online version of the owner's manual for your 2015 Ford Fusion S you must use a tow dolly for a front-wheel drive vehicle.
For your application I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 because it comes fitted with disc brakes, it has folding ramps and the tongue stows away for storage at home or the campsite, plus it has a steerable axle which allows your Fusion to track directly behind your motorhome. This is one of the best tow dollies... view full answer...
You do not, but you do need a number of other parts to flat tow your 2019 Ford Fusion, and for a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components I have a list of parts needed to do so listed below:
Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - # BLU44FR (Energi Hybrid or Hybrid)
Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - # BX2666 (Sport)

No, but most of the stuff you already have will transfer over. The only thing you're going to need is a new fit kit # TH36RV.
The Edge Clamp Feet # TH79SC you already have will work with both fit kits so as long as your new car has a naked roof as well that's all you're going to need.
If your new Escape has flush rails, then you're going to need different feet # TH89SC and a new fit kit # TH96RV.
It should also be noted that this is going to work the WingBar Edge crossbars, if you have... view full answer...
That is a confusing series of notes for Curt trailer hitch # C12091 and the 2015 Ford Fusion. Basically, the instructions call for the removal of a fascia piece. But it is possible to trim it and reinstall it hence the contradictory notes. I have linked the instructions for you as well as a video showing an example installation. I would just leave the panel off because the hitch is basically taking its place. view full answer...
Are you sure the extra wire you're speaking of isn't black? The Curt # C56351 will have two connectors that plug inline with the connection between the factory taillight harness and the taillight assembly. The one on the passenger side will have a green and white wire, the driver's side will have a white and a yellow wire. The converter box will also have two additional wires, one blunt cut black wire and one white wire with a ring terminal. The white wire grounds to the vehicle body, and... view full answer...

No, you cannot use the same wire you run for the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 to connect the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25.
The wire for the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 will be pulling power from the battery while the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 will be charging the battery.
