Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 1998 Ford Windstar to Tow a Fleetwood Prowler
Question:
Will this hitch in your opinion be safe to haul a 26 foot Fleetwood Prowler for about 40 miles. Mostly flat straight highway.
asked by: Mickey
Expert Reply:
If the weight of the 26 foot Fleetwood Prowler is less than the towing capacities for the Curt Hitch part # 13085 that you referenced then yes, this hitch would work well for you. This hitch has a max trailer weight rating of 4,000 lbs and max tongue weight rating of 400 lbs. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
To complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the Curt wiring harness part # C59236 and a Ball Mount Kit part # EBMK4.
