To wire the 7-way connector you have already purchased, you will need the Pigtail Wiring Harness for Pollak Replacement 7-Pole RV Socket, part # PK11998. This harness would plug into the rear of the trailer connector, and the bare leads on the other end would connect to the existing vehicle wiring, using the color code mentioned in the product description. If you do not already have one, I would recommend using a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993 to locate the correct circuits for installing... view full answer...
If both the inner and outer bearings on your trailer spindle are part # L44643, the # 8-258BTUC1 would work well for you.
This is a hub assembly that works with 13 to 15 inch wheels and has a 5 on 4-1/2 wheel bolt pattern. This assembly includes bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts and lug nuts. view full answer...
The trailer hitch hardware size for a 2005 Ford Freestyle varies by hitch. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13542 for example uses 1/2" carriage bolts. If you need replacement hardware for example you can use the Replacement Hitch Hardware Kit part # RHK. view full answer...

Thanks for entrusting etrailer in the past and we appreciate your business.
What you need is an adapter 4 pole to 7 pole and 4 pole such as part # 37185. This adapter converts from 4 pole wiring on vehicle to 7 pole round plug and 4 pole flat. See diagram to the right.
Since you will be installing additional wiring, 10 gauge jacketed wire # 10-2-1 would be a great option. One wire is connected to the brake controller which carries the power back for the trailer brakes while the other... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at CE Smith regarding the Trailer Hub Assembly # CE13100 that you reference. She stated that they use an NLGI # 2 red grease like the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390. This will be compatible with the grease currently in the hub, but I do still recommend removing as much grease from the hubs as you can when repacking, as it's possible that the old grease may be contaminated from moisture.
I have attached a great article on repacking trailer bearings... view full answer...
First thing you should do at this point is test the 4-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached.
If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue.
Make sure that the trailer side connector are clean... view full answer...
We have trailer wiring that is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Ford Freestyle but it does not use the unusual connector you sent in a picture of. Instead you'd want the T-One kit part # 118395 which installs by plugging inline with the taillight connectors of your vehicle. I attached an install video for more info for you to check out as well.
What you have might be related to a Ford only style of connector but you'd have to check with a Ford dealer to know for sure. view full answer...
I took a look at the rain guards we offer for your 2005 Ford Freestyle and the only style we have is the WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guards with Dark Tinting # WT82376 which install inside the window channel so no glue is needed. If you have the WeatherTech kit then I recommend referencing the instructions, but if you have a different kit then I recommend reaching out directly to the manufacturer so any adhesive they might say you're needing. view full answer...
You could remove the pin that secures the central arm of the Swagman Quad, # S64FR, and let it tilt down. however, you could not do it with the bikes attached to the rack because it was not designed for that purpose and could damage the rack. Also, if the bikes are not loaded you could just fold down the closest upright arm and open the hatch.
What I recommend instead is to go with a swinging bike rack like the Thule Apex, # TH9027XT. This rack also holds 4 bikes but has the ability to... view full answer...
Having a hitch with a higher capacity than the vehicle itself is a common occurrence.
From my online research, I found that the Ford Freestyle does indeed have a 2000 lb towing capacity. As you correctly stated, the Class III hitches available for the vehicle have a 3500 lb towing capacity. Because the overall capacity of the towing system will be limited to the capacity of its lowest rated component, you'd be limited to the 2000 lb capacity of the vehicle. Even if a hitch has a higher... view full answer...

I would recommend that you get a Class 3 hitch with a 2 inch receiver for your vehicle. The Class 3 hitch will provide the most versatility and options for towing and hauling. You will have a wider selection of all accessories, bike racks included, with the 2 inch receiver hitch. It will also give you the best options if your towing or hauling needs should change in the future.

The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13542, will fit on your 2007 Ford Freestyle. You may be interested in a few other items if you plan on doing any towing with this hitch.

The manufacturer does not make instructions available. It is possible that since the customer review you read was from Canada that he/she received instructions. I can walk you through the wiring process though.
First, find a place to securely install the 7-pole connector somewhere at the rear of your vehicle. Using a mounting bracket for 7-pole connectors such as part # 18138, can provide you with a clean and secure mounting point. Next, plug in the the 4-pole connector on your vehicle... view full answer...
European trailer wiring is very different from North American, specifically U.S. trailer wiring. In Europe a 7-Way connector is used to achieve the same functions U.S. trailers use in a 4-Way system.
Our brake and turn signal functions are combined. A U.S. 4-Way is set up as follows: Brown - tail lights, yellow - left turn and brake, green - right turn and brake, and white is ground.
Reverse lights are not typically used on small utility trailers in the U.S. In many states they are not... view full answer...
Like most electronic devices trailer wiring harnesses are all made overseas. Out of all the options for the 2005 Ford Freestyle I recommend Tekonsha harness # 118395 because they have proven to be the most reliable with the fewest reported issues compared to the other options. view full answer...
