Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12253 is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Lincoln LS. It has a tongue weight rating of 350 lbs. so as long as your carrier and wheelchair do not exceed the 350 lbs. or the maximum tongue weight rating of your 2005 Lincoln LS you will be in great shape. To check your vehicles rating look to your owners manual under the towing section. Please keep in mind this hitch option has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. There are no hitches available with a 2" receiver tube opening.

The 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18110 is compatible with the hitch and can help get your wheelchair where you will need it.

I have linked videos to both of these carriers for you to check out.
