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 Escape, Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner (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.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

Yes, part number 13651 is designed for Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner vehicles equipped with OEM hitches. Verify your vehicle has an OEM hitch before purchasing, as this hitch is specifically for vehicles with existing factory hitches.
Yes, the Curt 13651 is compatible with Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner vehicles that have OEM hitches. This hitch is designed for all three vehicle models: Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner.
No. The Curt 13651 is specifically designed for vehicles with OEM hitches. The installation procedure relies on existing weldnuts in the frame rails that are present only on vehicles with factory hitches.
The kit includes: two 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts (10-10272), two 0.250 x 1.00 x 3.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP6), two 1/2" conical tooth washers (30-00149), two 1/2-13 UNC hex nuts (20-00171), two 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP7), four 9/16" conical tooth washers (30-00164), four M14x2 40mm hex cap screws grade 10.9 (10-10404), and two 1/2" fishwires (1_2 FISHWIRE).
Yes. You must remove the existing electrical bracket by removing two screws and rotating the bracket 180 degrees, repositioning the connector to face toward the rear of the vehicle. This is step 1 of the installation procedure.
Yes. Drilling is required. You must drill the driver side frame rail to allow the spacer and bolt to pass through. The manual indicates this is necessary to enlarge the existing frame rail holes.
Possibly. If your vehicle is equipped with an exhaust vibration dampener that interferes with the side plate, you will need to bend or pry the dampener away from the side plate as needed. The manual notes this may be required but is not necessary for all vehicles.
Follow these steps: (1) Remove four existing bolts from inside frame rails and relocate the electrical bracket by removing two screws and rotating it 180 degrees. (2) Use fishwire to pull the carriage bolts and spacers through the enlarged frame rail holes into position. (3) Raise the hitch into position and install conical tooth washers and hex bolts into existing weldnuts. (4) Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs, then torque all M14 hardware to 126 ft-lbs.
The fishwire is used to pull the carriage bolts and spacers through the previously enlarged frame rail holes and into position. Two 1/2" fishwires are included in the kit for this purpose.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This includes the 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts and hex nuts. The 1/2" hardware must be tightened first, before the M14 hardware.
All M14 hardware must be torqued to 126 ft-lbs. This includes the M14x2 40mm hex cap screws grade 10.9. The M14 hardware must be tightened second, after the 1/2" hardware has been torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
The manual does not provide specific capacity values. However, it states: "DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY." You must consult your vehicle's owner manual or the manufacturer for the maximum towing capacity your vehicle supports.
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 particular interval, so regular visual inspection before towing is recommended.
