I checked with Curt and the 1/2" fishwire used to install trailer hitch # C13550 does come with the hitch. I have linked the video you mentioned showing an example installation of the hitch which will be nearly identical on your 2004 Ford Explorer.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And if your Explorer did not come with a factory trailer connector you can add a 4-Way flat using # 18252.
