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.
CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey (for vehicles without an OE plug behind the bumper) (factory tow package required; to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

Yes, the 04 - 07 Mercury Monterey Van Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13587 (Part #CHW-2421) is designed to fit the 2004-2007 Mercury Monterey Van.
The 04 - 07 Mercury Monterey Van Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13587 (Part #CHW-2421) 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.
Yes, Curt part 56673 is designed for Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles.

Yes, Curt part 56673 is designed for Mercury Monterey and Ford Freestar vehicles. The installation involves connecting a T-connector harness to the factory taillight wiring behind the rear bumper and installing relays and fuses into the main fuse center on the driver's side of the engine compartment.
The Curt 56673 T-connector harness integrates with your vehicle's factory taillight wiring to enable trailer lighting control. It connects to the factory harness behind the rear bumper and works with relays and fuses installed in the main fuse center to manage trailer tail, turn, and stop light signals.
The Curt 56673 includes a T-connector harness with wires, three relays, and two 20 amp mini fuses. The manual does not specify whether cable ties are included; you may need to obtain these separately to secure the T-connector wires to the vehicle.
The taillight wiring harness is located behind the rear bumper. You will need to access this area to locate the factory harness connector, which will be similar in appearance to the T-connector harness connector.
1. Locate the factory harness connector behind the rear bumper. 2. Remove the protective dust cover from the factory connector and clean away any dirt, dust, or debris. 3. Insert the T-connector harness end into the factory harness connector and firmly press the ends together until the locking tabs engage. 4. Secure the T-connector wires to the vehicle using cable ties.
The main fuse center is located on the driver's side of the engine compartment at the front of the vehicle. The fuse panel cover has a label on the inside that identifies the position locations for the relays and fuses.
Insert three relays into positions 29, 30, and 31. Insert two 20 amp mini fuses into positions 46 and 52. The label on the inside of the fuse panel cover identifies these position locations.
The Curt 56673 uses two 20 amp mini fuses, which are inserted into positions 46 and 52 of the main fuse center.
According to the diagram, the three relays control trailer tail, left turn/stop, and right turn/stop functions. The relays are inserted into positions 29, 30, and 31 of the main fuse center.
Before drilling or working on any part of the vehicle, verify that miscellaneous items (such as wiring, fuel lines, or other components) are not hidden behind or under any surface you plan to access. This will avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury.
