Although they may be similar, the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11140504 only works with the 1998-2003 Ford Crown Victoria according to the manufacturer. In order to add a wiring harness to your 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis you will need to use the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. view full answer...

To use a 1-1/4" accessory in the 2" trailer hitch receiver on your tow vehicle I recommend using the Brophy Hitch Reducer # HT02. This adapter has a Tongue Weight (TW) rating of 300 lbs so you will want to be sure not to exceed that.
Some bike racks have specific adapters that will allow you to use them with a 2 inch hitch receiver. If you let me know what bike rack you have I can check to see if we have an adapter. view full answer...
From my research your 2004 Mercury Mountaineer AWD with the 4.0L V6 and Class II tow package has a maximum towing capacity of 3,275 pounds. I recommend checking your printed owner's manual or with Ford to verify this. I also found that you're required to use a weight distribution system when towing over 3,500 pounds. So if you find you can tow your 4,500 pound camper with your Mercury you definitely want to use weight distribution. In which case I also recommend replacing your Class... view full answer...

Brake controller installation on your 2005 Mercury Mountaineer that has a 4-pole flat trailer connector will require just the brake controller and a 7-way socket.

Along with this you'll need 7-way # 37185 which plugs in to your existing 4-pole and provides connectors for your brake circuit (blue... view full answer...
The Malone Low Max trailer has a removable hub, so you'll be able to pull it to access and remove the bearings; we've actually done a helpful video that walks through the process of removing, inspecting and re-packing your bearings. This is recommended once per year or every 12,000-miles; whichever comes first.
I've also linked our helpful article on the process that gives some helpful links to replacement parts that you might need if you need to replace the bearings or don't have a Bearing... view full answer...
Since you mention finding that 6 female receptacle connector loose in the glove box, I am going to assume that this is because your 2008 Mercury Mountaineer is equipped with a 7-way connector at the back of the vehicle and is wired for a brake controller.
On the Mountaineer the plug can be found one of two places. It will either be located behind the vehicle glove box on the passenger side or the harness will be located underneath and left of the steering column taped to another harness... view full answer...
In order to get the longer bars, you'd order the parts separately. You'd need the roof rack feet, part # INFR and the # INB147. There won't be a cost difference by ordering the feet and crossbars separately.
You might also be interested in a fairing like # INA260 would make the rack more aerodynamic, reducing the wind noise.
I've linked you to some product description videos for some of the parts I mentioned. view full answer...
