There isn't a specific vent cover for Polar vent # PLR23 but you can use # CAM40431. This cover is 18-1/2" long x 18" wide x 8-1/2" high so it will cover the Polar vent. I have linked a video featuring this vent cover for you. 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...
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 Draw-Tite Class 3 Trailer Hitch, item # 75299 would be an excellent choice and installs easily with no drilling... 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...
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...
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118395.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake... view full answer...

The correct wiring harness you would need for your 2005 Ford Freestyle would be the Tow Ready Harness part # 118395. This will give you a flat 4-way that should match up to your trailer's 5-way.
Typically the 5th wire on a 5-way is run to the reverse lights of the tow vehicle for a reverse lockout or reverse lights. Either way if you need that fifth circuit you would also need to install the part # 20036. This will plug into the 4-way of your vehicle and the fifth wire will tap into your... view full answer...
I have a couple possible solutions for you.
Since you plan on changing vehicles soon, the most cost-efficient way to transport your bikes with your 2005 Ford Freestyle is with a trunk mount bike carrier. The most bikes a trunk-mount carrier that we offer can carry is 3, however if you are able to still fit one bike inside the vehicle, this may be your best option.
I recommend the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3. This will hold 3 bikes of up to 35 pounds each and features... 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...
