RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Review - 2024 Ford Bronco - RKY10002- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. If you have a 2024 Ford Bronco and you're looking for something that's gonna be able to carry a wide range of bikes and will be able to allow you full access to the back of your Bronco, then the RockyMounts BackStage bike rack, is gonna be a great option for you. So let's check it out. So the first thing I wanna point out is just how our bikes sitting on here. And we do have a extra large mountain bike and it has some pretty decently long handles and it is moving quite a bit, a little bit. We got probably tighten down one of those knobs a little bit more, but even with where it is right now, we're not even close to making contact with our Bronco. more

Setting Up Your Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack Kit - 2021 Ford Ranger- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. If you have a 2021 Ford Ranger and you're looking for a way to get a little bit more storage out of your Ranger and you want something that's gonna be relatively easy to install, then the Rhino-Rack roof rack is gonna be a pretty good option for you so let's check it out. What I like about a roof rack is a few things. So what's nice about it is it's gonna allow you to carry those extra long items because while we do have a bed, sometimes that can still be limiting 'cause if you have anything like lumber, ladders or kayaks, putting it back there just isn't gonna be ideal. What's also great about it is instead of relying on a small trailer or a hitch cargo basket, putting it on your roof is also gonna save you more space, keeping everything in just one footprint. It's also important to check you have the right type of roof and the Ford Ranger really only has one type for the most part but sometimes you might run into something else so you need to make sure you have a naked roof option. more

Installing the Curt Replacement OEM USCAR Trailer Connector on a 2024 Ford Bronco- Video
Hi, everyone. Bruce here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna take a look at and install our CURT Replacement OEM Trailer Connector on our 2024 Ford Bronco. This here is a great option for new installs, or if you've got an OEM one that you damaged, it does give you the seven-pole and also the four-pole, just like the factory does. On our installation, we found out our 2024 Bronco actually has factory trailer wiring, so that just plugs directly into the back of this and gives you a seven-pole and the four-pole, as I mentioned. Stick around. more

Installing the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit on a 2022 Ford Ranger- Video
Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2022 Ford Ranger and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Demco Direct Connect base plate for flat towing. Adding a base plate to the front of your Ranger is gonna allow you to safely haul your Ranger behind your motorhome when you're headed down the road. The thing I like about the Demco base plate is that the tabs that you're gonna get are going to be removable, but more so they're gonna be compatible with Demco tow bars, etrailer tow bars, and they're gonna be compatible with Blue Ox tow bars. The black powder coat finish on here, it's gonna be a matte finish. It's a very tough paint job. more

Hi, everyone, Bruce here at etrailer. Today we're gonna take a look at and install our Draw-Tite Max-Frame hitch receiver on our 2024 Ford Bronco. On our Draw-Tite hitch, we do have a max trailer capacity of 4,500 pounds with the max tongue being 675 pounds, and that is just the downforce on the actual receiver tube itself. Now, this can be used with a weight distribution hitch, but it does not change any of your weights. Now, we do have a two-by-two receiver tube opening that will accommodate many of your two-inch receiver accessories. So, if we take a look at our safety chain hooks here, this will accommodate many different styles of hooks. more

A Closer Look at the Hollywood Racks Crosstrack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2023 Ford Maverick- Video
How's it going, Maverick owners This is Ed with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks CrossTrack two-bike carrier on our 2023 Ford Maverick. So what this is gonna do for you, this is gonna allow you to get two bikes out on the road for you're adventure without making any contact to the frame from the carrier. A lot of times when you have the platform-style bike carriers, you're gonna have a center mast and a hook that comes down on your top tube. So if you have a carbon-fiber bike or a bike with a nice paint job, you may not want that contact going to your frame, and this is gonna allow you to get your bikes out. So let's take a closer look and see how it interacts with our Ford Maverick. So taking a look at the rear of the Maverick, you can kinda get an idea of how it's gonna obstruct the back of the vehicle. more

So, the Cross Trek is a wheel-mounted carrier, meaning that it's gonna secure your bike without making any contact with your top tube, like a lot of frame-mounted carriers. You're gonna have a front wheel chock, as well as an arm on the front to help stabilize your wheel. You just wanna be a little bit cautious if you do have a fender, it may interfere with that. more

etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar Fit Check - 2021 Ford E-Series Cutaway- Video
Hey, everyone, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2021 Ford E-Series motorhome, we're gonna be checking out the etrailer.com XHD tow bar. Before we jump right in, I figured I'd just touch base on one of the main questions that we get asked in regards to setting up your Cherokee to get flat towed, and that's what parts am I gonna need. So there's a total of five main components. You'll have your base plate, your tow bar, your safety cables, your tow bar wiring, your supplemental braking system. And there's one other thing that I like to recommend for the Cherokee, which is a towed vehicle charge line kit. more

Howdy there neighbors, Ian with the etrailer here. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate airbags on our 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Let's go ahead and take a look at the few features and then once we get that done, we'll walk through the install. You know, the F-350 Super Duty is a very commonly picked truck for towing and especially with a factory prep tow package like we've got here, it does have a factory prep for fifth wheel. So with that heavy load, you're gonna want some support for the bed of your vehicle and just your suspension in general. So these 7500 LoadLifter bags are going to be wonderful in taking out a lot of that sag in the rear of the vehicle when you've got those heavier loads. more

So let's check it out. Today we're gonna be using our coworker's, Eric's, vehicle, and he has a lot of people that he's moving from point A to point B, and he's gonna run out of space in the back of his vehicle. So there's only gonna be so much hatch area you have with this. So that's why a roof box is great for those occasions. more

How we doing today, neighbors Ian with etrailer here. Today we're going to take a look at and then install the Air Lift WirelessOne air compressor on our 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Let's get into a couple features of that and then the install. So the F-350 is going to be a great towing vehicle, and you're gonna have plenty of capacity when it comes to that towing capacity, but you may feel a little bit of that road jostle from heavier loads. And with our neighbor here having the in-bed fifth wheel prep already done by the factory, they're gonna be thrown a fifth wheel in that bed and then towing some pretty heavy load. So to take a lot of that sag out and also increase the longevity of their own suspension already on the truck, they have paired this compressor with a set of 7,500 bags. more

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2022 E-Series cutaway Class C camper and we're gonna be taking a look at, and I'm gonna show you how to install the Hellwig rear anti-sway bar.

You can do sway bars like we're doing here. more

Let's get into a couple features of that and then the install. So when selecting Tonneau covers, you may be looking at hard and soft tops, and there's definitely benefits and drawbacks to both. The neighbor here is going to be applying a fifth wheel into his factory puck system he's got in the bed here, and so this hard Tonneau cover is gonna give him lots and lots of protection for that and anything else he's got stored in the bed, so when the fifth wheel's not in use, it can stay in the bed. more

Sometimes these vans will come with a harness, but there's no relays installed, some of the harness is missing from it. We've had a lot of experience with these in trying to tap into the factory harness, but it seems like the only thing that works is to go to the factory and get them to finish that kit.

Installing the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System on a 2022 Ford E-Series Cutaway- Video
Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement on a 2022 Ford E-Series Cutaway. On our E-Series today, we we inchesre going to install some airbags, and it wasn't going to work just based on the bracket and our leaf spring pack, so we we inchesre looking for other suspension enhancements. And the ones that come to mind are going to be a jounce bumper replacement. And that's because they're a super easy installation, and they're still gonna give you support on your suspension. And the way that they operate is replacing the factory jounce bumper, which is rather small and takes a quite a bit of sag from the vehicle for it to bottom out. more

Installing the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs on a 2022 Ford E-Series Cutaway- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at Etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the SumoSprings rear suspension enhancement on a 2022 Ford E-Series Cutaway. A jounce bumper replacement is one of the quickest and easiest ways to really get a better-handling vehicle, especially when you're loaded down either pulling a trailer or having a heavy load. And the reason being is it closes up the gap where normally your factory jounce bumper would be, and the axle. So normally for it to bottom out on the factory jounce means that it's going to have to squat quite a bit. And throughout that process, squat is gonna translate to less steering feel, less braking, and overall just kind of feel like the vehicle's gonna struggle to handle the load, where adding a jounce bumper replacement is going to fill that void and give you back the steering feel, the braking, and it's gonna keep your suspension in the back from being overworked. And it's progressive, which is cool. more

How we doing today neighbors Ian with etrailer here. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and installing the Redarc Liberty brake controller on our 2020 Ford F-150. Let's look at a couple features of that and then get into the install. Now the F-150 is a great vehicle and very, very popular, well known for being a great work and towing vehicle. And so you're going to need a brake controller if you've got a larger trailer that has the brakes on it and sometimes that factory package did not come with your vehicle. The Redarc's gonna be a really wonderful solution and I think probably one of our better options when it comes to brake controllers for the F-150. more
