Expert Answers about Ford Five Hundred
- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 Ford Five Hundred
- There are numerous trailer hitches available for the 2005 Ford Five Hundred. I recommend going with a class III trailer hitch because it will have a 2 inch receiver that will afford you more options in terms of accessories. You can go with one such as the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75299. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video showing installation on a similar vehicle.
I would not say that this is an overly difficult hitch installation provided that you have all...

- SportRack roof rack, # SR1002, is not listed as a fit for your 2005 Ford Five Hundred but I do have a solution for you. First, there are no roof racks that will fit the 2005 Ford Five Hundred.
If your kayaks are narrow enough you could use 2 of the foam block carriers, # RL100K10. This way you would not need to install a roof rack at all.

- Yes, you will only need to run one blue wire from your brake controller to the 7-way connector on the back of your motorhome, this wire is what takes the signal from your brake controller to your tow dolly to tell your dolly how much braking power should be applied.
I attached a link below that you might find helpful when you are wiring up your connector, I also attached a picture to the right that shows how you should wire the 7-way connector on your motorhome.

- I do have an option for you but none of the roof rack systems we have for your 2007 Ford Five Hundred come with just one crossbar. I recommend using the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack part # SR1002 as this system has a square crossbar which will be the most compatible bar style for a light bar. This system is also our most cost effective option we have for your vehicle at this time.

- You can use the Curt Dual Receiver Tube Adapter, # D-192, as long as the Class II trailer hitch on your Ford Five Hundred has a 2 inch x 2 inch receiver. Class II receivers can have either a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening or a 2-inch receiver opening.
If you have a 1-1/4 hitch opening on your Ford 500, I would consider upgrading your hitch to a 2-inch receiver opening like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75299, which will work well with a cargo carrier and scooter.

- The 1000 pound towing weight limit for your 2005 Ford 500, and the 2000 pound rating for your 1996 Thunderbird I was able to confirm online.
Vehicle tow ratings are determined by the manufacturer, in part based on horsepower, but may also be a function of the extent to which there is access to the frame rails for mounting a hitch. If a particular vehicle design limits access to the strongest frame members, then the tow rating will be lower than it otherwise might be. However, there is...
view full answer... - Locating Blue Wire On Motorhome When Installing Brake Controller
- Larger motor homes typically do not come with the brake controller wiring installed. The first step I would take is to make sure that the connector you found on the motor home under the dash is indeed for a brake controller. If the connector on the motor home matches the connector you purchased, then you should be able to plug in the harness and test the pins for the black and the red wires using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. The black wire should show 12-volt power all the time,...
