  • Parts Needed to Tow Tent Trailer With 2011 Mercury Mariner
  • The wiring you will need for your 2011 Mercury Mariner is T-One Harness # 118551, which will give you a 4-way connector. To use that with the 7-way on your tent trailer you would need to use the 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector # 30717, which provides connection points for both your vehicle and trailer's plugs. To mount the adapter you may want to use no-drill bracket # C57202 along with Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138. You can see how to mount this adapter in the video...

  • How To Attach Safety Cables/Chains When Using The Curt Tow Bar # C19745
  • Safety chains/cables shouldn't actually be attached to the tow bar # C19745 at all. The point is to have an alternative point of security in the event that any connection point of the tow bar fails and you have a loose vehicle on the road. The Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms # C19745 is a very old-school design that was originally used with metal bumpers and people would just wrap the chains around the bumper and loop it up to the tow vehicle. I recommend finding a point on the...

  • Can you Upgrade the 1974 Shasta Camper's Rims
  • I was unable to find what kind of clearance and recommended rim size of the 1974 Shasta Camper. As such, I do not recommend upgrading your current rims to 15". I would suggest sticking with the 13" rims. If you let me know why you are wanting the upgrade, I can help you find what you need. For example, if it's because you want the camper to sit higher, we can perhaps make some improvements to the axle. If you decide to stay with the 13" rims and tires, you will need to know your tire...

  • Will the C12232 Class III Trailer Hitch Fit with Factory Dual-exhaust on a 1998 Mercury Sable
  • I spoke with my contact at the manufacturer to make sure there were no issues with the factory dual exhaust on the 1998 Sable and found that you should have no trouble installing the hitch on your vehicle. You will need to temporarily lower the rear exhaust though. The installation instructions (see link) are clear and easy to follow. In addition to the hitch, you might also need the following to complete your towing set-up: Trailer Wiring Harness, # C55343 if you have the wagon and #...

  • How to Determine if a 2006 Mercury Mariner Has a Factory Tow Package
  • The best way to find out if your 2006 Mercury Mariner has a factory tow package is to have the dealership run the VIN number of your vehicle. They will be able to tell you all the installed factory options the vehicle has. If you are trying to decide if the Hopkins Wiring Harness, part # 40455, will fit your Mariner, there is another way that might help you determine if you have the factory tow package. You can look at the rear of the vehicle for the tow package connector that would be...

  • Can a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer AWD V8 Automatic Transmission be Flat Towed Wheels Down
  • According to my research your 2003 Mercury Mountaineer AWD V8 cannot be flat towed in its stock state. Although base plates are still offered to enable use of a tow bar, the neutral switch modification kit required to flat tow this vehicle is no longer available from Ford. You may be able to find more information from your local dealership and/or by consulting with your owners manual.

  • 2 Inch Hitch For 2003 Mercury Mountaineer With 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • A 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter is not available for towing, those are for accessories like bike racks only.

The good news is there is a hitch designed to fit directly under the OEM hitch so you don't have to remove it, and what you'd need is the following: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55KR If you also need a 4-way wiring harness the correct part is the Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM40655.

  • Will the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover Work on a 2" Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I do have a hitch cover and anti-rattle sleeve option for you, however, the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover part # 63080 will not fit a 2" Curt trailer hitch receiver as the collar on the outside of the hitch receiver is too large. In order to cover the receiver opening on a 2" Curt trailer hitch receiver like part # 13707 I recommend using the Curt Rubber Tube Cover part # C22272. For anti-rattle purposes I recommend using the Brophy Stabilizer Bracket for 2" Hitch Receiver...

  • Universal Towing Mirror for 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  • The K-Source Universal Towing Mirror # KS3891 is designed to fit almost any OEM mirror that has a gap between the glass and housing as on the mirror in the photo I linked for you. This gap is where the mirror grips the OEM housing. I looked at photos of your 2004 Mountaineer and your stock mirrors will work well with it. The K-Source mirror installs quickly without tools and the adjustable mirror face lets you get the best view of the trailer and road behind you. This is a single mirror...
