For your 2006 Ford Freestar I would recommend a Class III hitch like the part # C13587 as it would have more than enough capacity which would be useful for the towing you plan to do.
The # C13587 has a 350 lb tongue weight and 3,500 lb total trailer weight rating. As long as the weight of everything you plan to tow plus the weight of the trailer is less than that you should be good to go. Class III hitches also allow more flexibility for future hitch accessories like bike racks and cargo... view full answer...
In order to carry two bikes on the roof of your 2004 Ford Freestar, you will want a roof rack, as well as two roof mount bike carriers.
I recommend the Inno Aero roof rack. It consists of the Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB115-2
Inno Flush Feet # INXS200, and Custom Fit Kit # INK211. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle.
For a roof mount bike rack carrier I recommend the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier # Y02103. This rack will fit your Yakima crossbars and support bikes... view full answer...
The item you selected, Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 36318 will fit all model years of the Ford Freestar which range from 2004-2007. This hitch will also fit the 2004-2007 Mercury Monterey.

If you have a wiring harness that was installed by splicing into your 2005 Ford Freestar's wiring then that would be the problem. The owner's manual for your Freestar states not to splice into the wiring because it can cause malfunctions.
There are two options for you to install a wiring harness on your Ford Freestar without a factory tow package that does not involve splicing. To figure out which one you would need all you have to know is if your Freestar model has the plug behind the... view full answer...
Have you tried swapping the relays of the Curt # C56673 around that you installed with the harness? Easiest way to determine if a relay is blown is to replace it with a known working one. A short on your trailer wiring could have possibly damaged it or it was defective. view full answer...
For your 2006 Ford Freestar I recommend going with the Curt # C13587 as we've found that the powder coat finish on the Curt hitches tends to be thicker and hold up better against chips and scratches.
Installation will involve removing the exhaust from the rear most exhaust hanger to gain access to the hitch mounting holes in the frame and you may have to slightly enlarge the frame holes if the hardware doesn't fit, but if you look at the video I have linked to and fast forward to the... view full answer...
In a situation like this, where you seemingly have ruled out the trailer as being the problem, I would recommend trying the vehicle with a different trailer, if you can borrow one from a friend or neighbor, you can quickly and easily determine if the problem exists with the tow vehicle or with the trailer. If you try a borrowed trailer, and all the lights work fine, then the problem is on your trailer. If the lights on the borrowed trailer do not work correctly, you have isolated the problem... view full answer...
The only way I can recommend for you to get the 3 relays you need for your 2004 Ford Freestar is to get the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56673 as it includes them. I attached an install video for this harness as well on a 2004 Ford Freestar as well. view full answer...
We've had nothing but positive feedback for the Curt Wiring harness part # C56673 on Freestars like your 2005 model. One customer said in a review, "This was exactly as described and fit perfectly."
Check out the install video I attached for this product on a 2004 Ford Freestar very much like yours. view full answer...
The ball mount included with the Curt Class II Receiver would use a trailer ball with a 3/4 inch shank. The shank needs to be at least 1-9/16 inches long.
We offer a 2 inch Hitch Ball from Tow-Ready, part # 19258 that would work great with the draw bar.
I have provided a link to the hitch installation instructions as well as a link to the trailer ball. You can find the links below. view full answer...
It sounds as if there has been a short in the system at some point. There are many situations that could cause this, but the important thing is that the converter and inline fuse have protected the sensitive circuitry in your vehicle from a potentially damaging situation. I checked our catalog and the recommendation for your vehicle is to either use this T-Connector style plug-in harness or see the Ford dealer for trailer wiring. Splicing a trailer wiring harness is not recommended. Your... view full answer...
Titan Chain Tire Chains # TC339DC meet DOT requirements in all states for any roadway on which chains are required and/or can be used but aren't required by law. There isn't a specific minimum or maximum snow depth for these chains. As far as speed goes most chains including these are rated for 30 miles per hour but if you have to use chains then it is possible that even 30 miles per hour is too fast! view full answer...
The plug on a 2006 Ford Freestar to install the Trailer Wiring Harness, # C56673, can be located behind the rear bumper near the spare tire. The plug should be connected to a gray protective cover mounted to the back of the bumper. If you see the cover but not the plug, it may be above the spare tire. This harness is designed for those vehicles that came with a factory tow package. I have included a link to the installation instructions for reference. view full answer...

I called my contact at K-Source about your 2004 Ford Freestar.
The Electric Replacement Side Mirror, part # KS61141F does not have the heat, signal, or memory function available. The # KS61141F has a 3-prong connector and they told me that the connector for vehicles with the other features has a different connector. We do not have a replacement mirror that will work with the memory function. view full answer...
It sounds like an A-Frame jack might be the way to go for you. If the gusset of your trailer tongue A-frame has the jack mounting holes, the Pro Series # PSRV20000103 would work great for you. The jack has a total lift of 14 inches, and a fully retracted mounting bracket height of 9 inches.
If your A-frame does not have the mounting hole, you could replace the coupler with one that does. You will want to choose a coupler with the appropriate weight rating and for the same ball size as... view full answer...

The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 56073 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2005 Ford Freestar only if it has the factory tow package. If you aren't getting any power at all to the connector then it's very possible that your vehicle is not equipped with the needed tow package wiring to power the factory connector behind the rear bumper so you'd need to go with # C56673 instead.
You can try testing the factory connector on the Freestar with the Curt harness... view full answer...
