• Ball Mount with 4 inch Rise Recommendation for Use with Curt Hitch for 2003 Lincoln Town Car
  Hey Justin, when we installed the Curt hitch part # 13707 on a similar 2004 Lincoln Town Car to your 2003 model we found that from the top of the hitch opening to the ground measured 11 inches. So the correct amount of rise you'd want would be right at 4 inches like the ball mount # D-28 which also happens to be a longer ball mount so it would also not interfere with your rear bumper.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Weight Distribution System for 2004 Ford Crown Victoria
  For your 2004 Ford Crown Victoria, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13707 is a great option to get you started. Then you will need to get a weight distribution system like # FA92-00-0800 for your trailer to allow that weight to be carried by your hitch. You will not be able to carry more than 600 lbs total tongue weight which includes the loaded tongue weight of your trailer and any cargo behind the rear axle of your car. I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch...

Is your car lowered by chance?

  Hello Daniel. The Curt # C12130 hitch and the # 13707 do use the same bolt holes for installation. If you change out the hitch I do recommend you remove the old hardware and use the new hardware that comes with the new # 13707 hitch.

• How to Determine Necessary Rise of a Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer Level
  There's no reason to guess at the rise you need to keep your trailer level. Instead you can take a couple of measurements. Park both the 2008 Ford Crown Victoria and the trailer on level ground, uncoupled. Then measure from the top of the inside of the trailer hitch's receiver tube to the ground. When we installed the Curt hitch you purchased, part # 13707 on a 2007 Police Interceptor it measured 13-1/4 inches. But you should measure yours in case it's different. Next measure from...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Ford Crown Victoria
  The trailer hitch that fits your 2011 Ford Crown Victoria that has the highest towing capacities and would work great for towing your Integra would be the Curt hitch part # 13707.

• What Additional Steps Are Required For Installation Of The Curt Receiver # 13707 on Dual Exhaust?
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13707 only requires modification to the passenger side exhaust bracket on 2003 and later models with dual exhaust. You will not have to modify the exhaust on your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis. If you had a 2003 or later model the passenger side exhaust hanger is removed before installing the receiver. Then it is reversed and attached with the additional 5/16" hardware included in the kit after the receiver has been installed. I do recommend installing...

• Can I Swap Hitches from Multiple Vehicles When I need to Tow with a Different Vehicle
  Part # 75118 will only fit a 2001-2004 Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute. It is not swappable onto a 1990 Taurus or 1998 Grand Marquis. The best hitch we have for towing a boat with your 1998 Mercurcy Grand Marquis is a Class III hitch, part # 13707. The strongest hitch available for a 1990 Ford Taurus is a Class II. Our most popular Class II for your vehicle is part # C12232. Please note, Class I and II are 1-1/4 inch receiver openings.

• Parts Needed to Add Brakes to Aluma 6310H Trailer
  Thank you for all of that info. Based on that you'd need a 3,500 lb trailer axle hub and drum with 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern and matching brake assemblies. For that you'd want the # AKHD-545-35-K for the hub which comes with all bearings and is pre-greased and then for brake assemblies # AKEBRK-35-SA which are self-adjusting and you'd be set.

• Recommended Wiring Harness Kit for Towing a Trailer with a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
  The wiring kit I recommend for your 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis is the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. If you haven't already decided on a trailer hitch then I recommend going with a 2" receiver like the Curt # 13707 because it opens up the door to a variety of towing accessories and won't be as restrictive as a 1-1/4" receiver. You'll also need a ball mount to complete your towing setup. I have attached out selection of ball mounts for...

• Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness Recommended for 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis
  The Wiring # C59496 would be a good choice for your 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis. For a hitch, I'd use the Curt Class III hitch, part # 13707 along with a # D-28 ball mount and # PC3 hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

• Holding a Wheelchair on a Thule Trunk Mounted Bike Rack
  A Bike Rack like the Thule Passage 2, part # TH910XT, is capable of holding up to 35 pounds in each of its carriers. Though its not a recommended use, these can hold manual, folding wheelchairs. This is an exceedingly dangerous use of the Thule Passage though. You will be much better off in the long term adding a hitch like part # 13707, a Class III Curt hitch to carry a traditional cargo carrier. I recommend the Flint Hill Goods 30" x 50" Wheelchair Carrier w/ 48" Ramp - 2" Hitch #...

• Carrying Motorcycle on Hitch Mounted Carrier on Mercury Grand Marquis
  Your 1-1/4 inch receiver on your Grand Marquis is most likely a Class II, but without an ID sticker or part number to confirm, I couldn't say for sure. This means that your hitch likely has a tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force that can be applied to hitch without damaging it) ranging from 200-350 lbs. The fact that there's a reinforcing ring around it would lend credence to the fact that it's a Class II, but there are a few manufacturers that have made class I's with...

• Reinstalling Exhaust Hanger on Lincoln Town Car After Installation of Trailer Hitch
  There is a video of Curt Trailer Hitch # 13707 being installed on a Lincoln Town Car which I have linked for you; this is an install on a 2003 Town Car but the process will be the same as your 2010. As per the linked installation instructions, a portion of which I have cut out for you to look at, states you need to rotate the bumper hanger, reattach the hanger bracket and then attach the hanger assembly to the hitch mounting plate and exhaust. You will need to use washers to level the...

• What Drilling Is Required On The 1997 Ford Crown Victoria To Install The Curt 13707 Hitch?
  For your 1997 Ford Crown Victoria Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2", # 13707. I've attached a video of an installation on a 1996 model and they didn't change anything between 96 and 97 models of the Crown Vic or the Grand Marquis. You will need to drill 4 holes. I recommend starting with a pilot hole about 1/4 inch and then making the final hole 9/16 inch.

• Recommendation for Towing a Motorcycle with a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13707 for your 2001 Ford Crown Victoria will not have the capacity you are seeking. It is only rated for 400 lbs tongue weight for this type of application so your bike and the carrier will far surpass its capacity. I recommend using a trailer along with this hitch to protect your bike as a carrier will not work with your vehicle. For your wiring, I recommend the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis for Towing Small Boat
  For your 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis the Curt hitch part # 13707 has been confirmed as a fit and would have the towing capacities of 4,000 lbs total trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. We have suspension enhancements available for your vehicle, but since I don't know the weight of your boats/trailer it's hard to say if they would be necessary. The Firestone part # F4107 has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle though. Be sure not to also exceed the towing capacities of your vehicle...

• Class III Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Trailer Connector for a 1989 Ford LTD Country Squire LX Wagon
  For a Class III trailer hitch for your 1989 Ford LTD Country Squire Wagon you can use Curt hitch # 13707. It is rated for 400 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight. When used with weight distribution it is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight and 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Towing a utility trailer is basically the same as towing a travel trailer in terms of equipment needed so I don't think you will have any problems. However, you will be limited to the towing...

• Hitch and Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis Needing a 3 inch Rise
  For a Class III 2 inch hitch for your 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis you would want the Curt Hitch part # 13707. When we installed this hitch on a similar vehicle we found that from the ground to the top of the hitch opening was 13-1/4 inches. Assuming the rental company you talked to was right, and their trailers will be about 16 inches from the ground to the bottom of the coupler you would need about a 3 inch rise. I think your best solution would be to get the etrailer.com ball mount kit...
