- Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Ford Windstar
- There is a good chance that the SportRack Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier, # SR3152, will fit your 2003 Ford Windstar. It is designed as a universal fit item to fit many vehicles but a specific list is not available. However, there are several trunk mount racks from Thule that are listed as a fit for your van.
The most economical is the Passage 3, # TH911XT. This rack can carry up to 3 bikes, has anti-sway cradles , and padded feet to protect vehicle paint. I have included a link to the installation...

- Without knowing what hitch you are referring to it's hard to say for certain yes or no, but I can tell you there is a very strong chance a hitch from a 1998 Ford Windstar would fit a 2003 Ford Windstar because all of the hitches we carry for the 2003 Ford Windstar fit model years 1995-2003.
For example, the Curt Hitch part # 13085 that you referenced fits 1995-2003 Ford Windstars.

- I checked our towing information resources for specifics about flat towing a 2003 Ford Windstar and I was unable to confirm whether this vehicle can be safely flat towed. I also checked the Ford website and the Windstar is not listed by Ford as one of their vehicles for which flat-towing is recommended.
I was able to find an online version of the owner's manual for the 2003 Windstar and on page 151 Ford indicates that front-wheel-drive vehicles are not recommended for flat-towing; in such...

- We do have a wiring harness option for you, but the Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit # HM48895 you referenced is not a compatible fit on your 2002 Ford Windstar.

- In order to install a 7-way trailer connector on a 2000 Ford Windstar you'll need to start with a 4-way, the Hopkins Vehicle Wiring Harness part # HM40615. Then, you can convert this to a 7-way using the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7 or just the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185 if you won't need trailer brakes.
Please note, our products are all designed for US spec vehicles. I would not be aware of any difference if present for Euro spec vehicles.
view full answer... - Will the Rampage Minivan Center Console # RA39923 Fit a 2001 Ford Windstar
- The Rampage Minivan Center Console # RA39923 that you referenced in your question is a universal fit. Unfortunately because of this we don't really have a way to confirm that it will fit your 2001 Ford Windstar.
You can take some measurements in your Windstar to do a bit of a "test fit" though. The console is 29" Long x 9" Wide x 14" Tall, so by taking those figures and measuring that out between the front bucket seats in your van you should be able to determine whether or not it will fit.
