Hello Robert, Thank you so much for attaching the pictures, they’re always so helpful. In the first photo, it looks like your shackle straps are sitting a bit too vertically. That’s not a major issue, but since you’ll be replacing some suspension…
Hey there Caleb! Both the 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch balls supplied with the #WS97WR (adjustable 8" drop) fall under the same 22,000-lb hitch rating. Just make sure the ball matches your trailer coupler size, and always go by the lowest-rated part…
Hey McClaskey, since that is a rarer wheel bolt pattern we don't have any aluminum wheel options that match what you need. Instead our best option would be the Kenda Karrier #KR53 part #KE42EV which is a silver steel wheel with a ST205/75-15 tire…
Hey Teo, we have a solution for you but we don't have any harnesses that work as both a tow bar lighting kit and a trailer wiring kit. So what you'd want is the Curt part #C96JR for the tow bar lighting and then for the trailer wiring…
Since wire color codes are NOT universal, we always recommend wiring by function, rather than wire color. If you look at the Trailer Wiring FAQ article I have linked you to, you can see some diagrams showing the proper way to wire a vehicle and…
Hey Terry, you’re likely not doing anything wrong. The Force #PA96VR has wide 6-1/2” tires that give great traction, but they don’t pivot sharply. For tight angle turns, it helps to alternate between forward and reverse, “walking” the tongue in…
That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
The Curt front hitch part #31199 is a fit for your 2WD 2004 Nissan Titan. If you check out the install picture I attached you will see that it does not extend out past the front bumper of a vehicle it is installed on.
Hey David, welcome back. To add a 4-way connector to your 2025 Kia Sportage PHEV, you'll want the Curt item #C99DR. It connects directly behind the rear tail lights and there isn't a way to connect it to a tow package. It will not control a…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
I do have a potential solution for you, but I do not have a 7 way harness that will plug in to the round plugs you described. I recommend using a pre-wired connector like part #20023. You will have to do a bit of cutting and splicing, and this kit…
It depends on what the brake controller output is set to. If you have the brake controller set to the maximum then there should be about 12 volts at the brake magnets. To see if the brake magnets are drawing the correct power set the brake controller…
