We do not offer a Class lV hitch for your 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, but we do have a couple of hitches that would possibly work for you. The first hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 75132. The trailer hitch has a towing capacity of 5000 lbs, unless weight distribution is used. Then the maximum towing capacity jumps to 8000 lbs.
When you are towing anything that weighs more than 50 percent of the towing vehicle, weight distribution is recommended.... view full answer...
I did some checking and it looks like your 2007 Mercury Mountaineer has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. You would need to check your owners manual or with Mercury to verify this based on how the vehicle is equipped.
We have hitches like the Draw Tite part # 75437 which has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and 500 lbs tongue weight when not used with a WD system and 8,000 lbs and 800 lbs when used with a WD system.
The overall towing capacity for a vehicle is always the lowest rated component.... view full answer...
