All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 500 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Ford Edge, Ford Escape, Ford Freestar, Lincoln MKX, Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, the 04 - 07 Ford Freestar Curt 2" Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 5-Flat Wiring Kit Tow Boat/Utility Trailer with Surge Brakes 13587 (Part #5W-CHW-1241) is designed to fit the 2004-2007 Ford Freestar.
The 04 - 07 Ford Freestar Curt 2" Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 5-Flat Wiring Kit Tow Boat/Utility Trailer with Surge Brakes 13587 (Part #5W-CHW-1241) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Curt part number 13587 is designed for 2004–2007 Ford Freestar and 2004–2007 Mercury Monterey models only. Verify your vehicle year and model before purchasing.
The kit includes: four 1/2-13 UNC Grade 8 carriage bolts, 1-3/4" long (part 10-10272); two 1/2-13 UNC Grade 8 carriage bolts, 2-1/2" long (part 10-10306); six 1/2-13 UNC Grade 8 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062); two 0.250 × 1.50 × 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP4); two 0.250 × 1.00 × 2.50" square hole spacers (part CM-SP10); two 0.250 × 1.50 × 2.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP1); and six 1/2" fishwires.
No, you do not need to remove the exhaust system completely. The installation procedure requires you to lower the exhaust by removing the rearmost exhaust hanger to provide clearance for hitch installation. After the hitch is secured, the exhaust is re-attached.
Fishwire is a flexible wire used to route fasteners through the vehicle frame. For the Curt 13587, you use fishwire to thread the large spacer blocks and long carriage bolts into existing slots on the bottom of the frame (step 2), and then to route remaining fasteners through the large access slot on the bottom of the frame and out through existing holes on the side of the frame (step 4). This technique allows fasteners to be positioned without direct access.
1. Lower the exhaust by removing the rearmost exhaust hanger. 2. Use fishwire to thread the large spacer blocks and long carriage bolts into existing slots on the bottom of the frame. 3. Raise the hitch into position under the frame and over the previously installed bolts, then attach a flange nut to each bolt (hand tighten only). 4. Fishwire the remaining fasteners through the large access slot on the bottom of the frame and out through existing holes on the side of the frame. 5. Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb.-ft. and re-attach the exhaust.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. This torque is applied after the hitch is positioned and all fasteners are hand-tightened.
Before installation, check the mounting holes in the vehicle frame for misalignment. If misalignment is present, enlarge the holes to provide proper bolt clearance. The hitch relies on existing frame access slots and holes, so verify these are present and accessible on your vehicle.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval, so inspect before each towing use and at regular service intervals.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 13587 has its own gross load capacity specifications, but your vehicle's towing limit is the controlling factor. Consult your Ford Freestar or Mercury Monterey owner's manual for the maximum towing and tongue weight your vehicle can safely handle.
The Curt 13587 is designed for 2004–2007 Ford Freestar and 2004–2007 Mercury Monterey models only.
No. You only need to lower the exhaust by removing the rearmost exhaust hanger for clearance, then re-attach it after installation.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. after the hitch is positioned and hand-tightened.
The manual does not specify required tools. Standard hand tools for removing and re-attaching the exhaust hanger and a torque wrench capable of measuring 110 lb.-ft. are necessary. Consult the manufacturer if you need a detailed tool list.
The manual does not specify whether professional installation is required. The procedure involves lowering the exhaust, using fishwire to route fasteners through frame slots, and torquing to 110 lb.-ft. Contact Curt Manufacturing or a qualified installer if you are unsure of your ability to complete these steps safely.

The signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. The tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. You must not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The battery connection must be fuse protected with a maximum of 10 amps. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need a 10mm socket and a ratchet. The manual also references an included CME-PCL-INS sheet for battery power wire routing details.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation.
Open the vehicle tailgate and remove the two Phillips screws securing the driver side taillight assembly. Remove the taillight assembly to locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. From underneath the vehicle, locate the access hole on each side leading to the taillight wiring harness under the taillight.
The custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire routes to the driver side taillight housing assembly. Route it up from under the vehicle through the body opening to the driver side taillight.
The custom wiring harness end with the green wire routes to the passenger side taillight. Route it behind the removed scuff panels on the passenger side.
Separate the black vehicle connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Drilling may be required. You should first locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing screw is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw if a suitable existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame near the connector.
Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw at a suitable grounding point near the connector. The grounding point should be an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or a 3/32" pilot hole you drill. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out of the way location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Reinstall all items removed during installation and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. The battery connection must be fuse protected with a maximum of 10 amps.
Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness will function properly.
