Which trailer hitch fits a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

CURT 13407 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 5,000 lb gross trailer weight and 500 lb tongue weight.

How much can a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 5,000 lb gross trailer weight and 500 lb tongue weight, or 6,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Explorer Sport Trac has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.

Do I need a wiring harness for the 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 55344 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Explorer Sport Trac's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
