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.
