For a boat trailer like yours, I recommend going with a Bearing Buddy that will keep the water out.

With a gross vehicle weight rating of 8026 pounds, you probably have 4.4K axles. The appropriate Bearing Buddy will be part # BB2441SS. This will fit inner hub bores with inner diameters of 2.441", so be sure to measure yours to ensure it's correct.

If, by chance, your hub bore is threaded, then use the Bearing Buddy with threading, part # BB2441T-SS.

I've linked to video reviews of both of these Buddies.

Absolutely! First, in order to hook up to the trailer you will need to add a trailer hitch to your 2020 Ford Transit T150. For this I highly recommend the Curt Class IV #C14012, which features a sleek hidden cross tube design so that only the 2"…
