What the live CURT Freestar card actually covers

CURT 13587 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for listed two thousand four through two thousand seven Ford Freestar years. The same live card also lists two thousand four through two thousand seven Mercury Monterey years, so keep badge-honest shopping when Monterey is the van in the bay. On the live card the hitch is rated to about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight, with weight-distribution compatibility called out around five thousand pounds.

Freestar tow ratings were minivan-class. Many owners haul a small utility trailer, a boat that fits the sticker, or just bikes and a cargo box. Read the Ford door sticker for your engine and axle package, then open the hitch card. The hitch cannot raise the vehicle limit.

How to shop without getting lost

Step 1Read the door sticker

Find the Ford tow and tongue numbers for your engine and axle. The hitch cannot raise that limit.

Step 2Open CURT 13587

Confirm your Freestar year is still listed on the live card before you order.

Step 3Plan lights

Open CURT 56329 when your Freestar year is listed, then test lights before a night tow.

Step 4Match accessories

Two inch cover and pin, ball mount height, then a first-tow walk-around.

Receiver

Two inch Class 3

13587 gives a two inch opening. Accessories must match that tube. Keep racks and mounts sized for two inch, not the smaller Class 1 tube.

  • About three thousand five hundred pounds GTW on the hitch card
  • About three hundred fifty pounds tongue on the hitch card
  • Vehicle sticker can sit lower than the hitch rating
Sibling honesty

Monterey shelf

Mercury Monterey shares CURT 13587. Keep Monterey years on the same hitch card when that is the badge in the driveway. Freestar year landers stay Freestar-first below.

  • Live Freestar years on 13587 are two thousand four through two thousand seven
  • Monterey landers exist when you need that badge path
  • Confirm the live card still lists your year
