Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
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.

CURT 12036 is a weight-carrying receiver hitch designed for 2007-current Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers. It allows you to tow trailers and carry loads up to 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. The hitch mounts to the vehicle's frame rails and accepts ball mounts for trailer coupling.
CURT 12036 is designed for 2007-current Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers only. Check your vehicle's year, make, and model against the manual cover to confirm compatibility. If you are unsure, contact CURT technical support at 877.287.8634.
CURT 12036 is designed for use with ball mount D-18 / 45518. Euro mount options are available: 45551 (1-7/8" ball) and 45552 (2" ball). Use only compatible mounts; do not use other ball mounts without confirming compatibility with CURT.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, CURT 12036 has a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating.
CURT 12036 includes: 4× 1/2-13 UNC 1-1/2" carriage bolts (part 10-10287), 6× 1/2-13 UNC flange nuts (part 20-00062), 6× 0.250 × 1.25 × 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP19), 2× 1/2-13 UNC 1-3/4" carriage bolts (part 10-10272), and 4× 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE).
The installation is rated as moderate difficulty. Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. CURT technical support is available at 877.287.8634.
Before beginning installation, read all instructions thoroughly. Ensure you have all required tools: ratchet, torque wrench, 6" socket extension, 3/4" socket, 8mm socket, flat head screwdriver, power drill, 17/32" drill bit, tin snips, and wire. Wear safety glasses at all times. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
The first step is to lower the exhaust by removing the three rear exhaust hangers (rubber isolators). Use wire to hold the exhaust up high enough to prevent damage to the exhaust tube.
Remove heat shields from both sides of the vehicle by removing three 6mm bolts and one black plastic plug from each side. The driver side heat shield is also connected to the rear wiring harness by a plastic plug that must be disconnected. Once removed, trim off the tab from both heat shields before reinstalling them without the frame rail screws.
Fishwire is a technique for threading bolts and spacers through the bumper mounts and into the frame rail holes before raising the hitch into position. In step 3, you fishwire 1/2-13 × 1-1/2" carriage bolts with CM-SP19 spacers through the rear of bumper mounts to holes in the frame rails. This allows the hitch to be positioned and secured before drilling the rear holes.
After fishwiring the front bolts and spacers into position, raise the hitch into position and secure it with 1/2" flange nuts. The hitch is then used as a template to mark and drill the rear holes.
A 17/32" drill bit is required. Using the hitch as a template, drill the rear holes through the frame rails on both sides with this bit size.
After drilling the rear holes, fishwire 1/2-13 × 1-3/4" carriage bolts (part 10-10272) with CM-SP19 spacers through the rear of the bumper mounts and attach with 1/2" flange nuts (part 20-00062).
After all bolts and nuts are installed, torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft. This is the final step before reinstalling the exhaust.
The final step is to reinstall the exhaust that was removed in step 1. Reattach the three rubber exhaust isolators (hangers) to secure the exhaust back into its original position.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although CURT 12036 is rated for 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit. Always follow the more restrictive limit.
