2004 Ford Excursion Salt Spreader

Michelle, great question - the Base Line 240 #ME86FR and 400 #ME26FR handle dry or slightly damp rock salt and calcium blends well, but they’re not ideal for heavy, wet sand or thick mixes. That’s where the Blaster units #ME98FR and #ME48FR shine:…

Good question, Steve. On dry salt and a steady pace, the Meyer walk behind spreader #ME43FR will spread roughly 8–12 feet wide. You can dial the rate down with the control lever to narrow it for sidewalks or open it up for bigger driveways. The…

Dennis, the maintenance steps are identical - rinse, dry, grease bearings, and keep 20–25 PSI in the tires. The only difference is that stainless version #ME63FR will resist corrosion better so you may not need to touch it up with paint in the…

Hey Ed! Yes, the Meyer Base Liner salt spreader #ME86FR includes a coarse brush auger to prevent material from flowing prematurely into the throat, which helps reduce clogging. The Blaster models #ME98FR and #ME48FR take that further: they use a…

Jorge - you heard right. The Blaster lineup #ME98FR and #ME48FR includes a built-in vibrator to keep material flowing, especially when the salt or ice melt tends to cake or bridge. In wet or semi-frozen material, that vibrator helps prevent clogging…

Dave, the Meyer tailgate spreader #ME86FR comes with its own harness and in-cab controller. Just run the included leads to your truck’s battery positive and ground, route the wire to the back socket, and plug in the spreader. It’s protected by a…

The SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader for 2" Hitch - Gravity Feed w Auger #337TGSUVPROA and the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader for 1-1/4" or 2" Hitch #337TGSUV1B have a few differences. The #337TGSUVPROA has a…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…

Hey Brian! I'll start out by confirming that both the Draw-Tite item #DT94YR and our etrailer item #e25TR hitches fit the 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness. The hitch pin hole sits 2" back from the edge of the bumper on the Draw-Tite item…

Hey Ryan, great question. All five of those Meyer tailgate spreaders #ME86FR, #ME26FR, #ME98FR, #ME48FR are designed to mount into a Class III 2" × 2" receiver rated for at least 500 lbs of tongue weight, so your Tacoma’s hitch fits…

Yes Carla, but with caution. Meyer recommends free-flowing, dry materials for all models. On the Blaster models #ME98FR and #ME48FR, you do have accessory options: a hopper screen #ME29FR for 2" x 2", or #ME56FR for 1/2 " x 1/2"…
