Based on the capacity you stated for the hitch on your 2000 Ford Windstar it is a Class II hitch. For a compatible cargo carrier I recommend # C18110.

When choosing a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the towing set up. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the trailer.
Tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. If we go by the max gross trailer weight you mentioned, 3,036 pounds, the tongue weight would be 303 pounds to 455 pounds.
