Expert Answers about Lincoln Town Car


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For Carrying Two Bikes With 2008 Lincoln Town Car
  • I have a different option for you, but the Curt Bumper Mount Hitch # C19031 only fits trucks with a step bumper and as such will not fit your 2008 Lincoln Town Car. Instead you will need to go with the Curt # 13707 which is designed for your vehicle and will be perfect for carrying two bikes with a bike rack thanks to the 400lb tongue weight rating of this hitch. If you do not already have a bike rack I recommend going with the Yakima RidgeBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02457 which will fit this...

  • Where to Mount the Derale Dual-Pass Heat Sink Transmission Cooler and How Does It Compare
  • The heat sink coolers like the Derale Dual-Pass Heat Sink Transmission Cooler, item # D13266, do not perform nearly as well as the traditional style coolers. These coolers have a single large cavity and do not force the liquid through a number of small cavities as a tube or plate and fin style cooler would. In comparison the heat sink style would not perform as well as the smallest plate and fin style transmission cooler. For your Town Car I would recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2003 Lincoln Town Car
  • The trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend for you 2003 Lincoln Tow Car is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 rubber coated to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy.. It also includes locks to secure both the rack and the bikes to deter theft. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes...

  • Installation of 4-Pole Hardwire Kit for a 2004 Lincoln Town Car Towing a Trailer with Only 2 Lights
  • For a small trailer with only two lights, I would recommend hardwire kit part # C59496. It includes a tester and quick splices so you will have everything you need to find the right wires to tap into. We have an installation video of a similar part being installed on a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria that should be helpful. I will add a link to it below.

  • Depth of Flexco Manual Pull-Out Step Single SMFP-1120
  • The stored depth of this step from the center of the front mounting hole to the back of the slide bracket measures 11 inches. The height of the step will be 7 inches when it is stored. I have attached diagrams showing these measurements. To make sure this step will work for you, you will want to make sure that you have at least 11 inches behind the mounting location of the front bolt hole to install this step. As long as you have the 11 inches behind the front bolt hole, this step should...

  • How Much Bumper Clearance Is Needed On a 2004 Lincoln Town Car with the Draw-Tite Hitch 41116-011
  • In order to find the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41116-011 to the outermost edge of the bumper on your 2004 Lincoln Town Car you will need to measure from the pre-drilled hole in the frame (see photo) out to the end of your bumper. Once you have this measurement you will then need to subtract 22" as that will then give you your hitch pin hole to bumper clearance measurement. Unfortunately, we have not yet had...

  • Will the Curt Class II Hitch # C12130 fit 1988 and 1995 Lincoln Town Car
  • The Curt hitch you referenced, part # C12130 will fit a 1980-2010 Lincoln Town Car. It will indeed fit both of your vehicles. This being said, a hitch is not meant to be repeatedly installed and removed or swapped between vehicles. If it is removed and installed on a second vehicle, the manufacturer recommends using new hardware. A hardware kit can be purchased by ordering part # RHK, and typing "C12130" in the part number field. For installation details, click the provided link. I have...

And for trailer wiring you can use # C59496 to add a 4-Way flat to the rear of the vehicle.

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2005 Lincoln Town Car with Naked Roof
  • I may have a solution for you, however there is not currently a roof rack system available that is compatible with your 2005 Lincoln Town Car. To transport your kayak on your vehicle, I recommend looking at the Rightline Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # RL100K10 . This foam block kit will allow you to carry a single kayak on the naked roof (no crossbars or rails) of your Lincoln Town Car. The blocks will provide a safe surface for the vehicle and kayak, and tie-down straps are included...

  • Recommendation for a Bike Rack to Fit a 1995 Lincoln Town Car
  • For your 1995 Lincoln Town Car, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Bike Carrier, # HRF6-2. The Expedition bike rack is a trunk mounted rack that can carry up to two bikes weighing 35 lbs each. The rack uses foam padding and straps to secure the rack to the trunk of the car. The mounting straps measure 67 inches in length giving you plenty of strap to mount the rack to the trunk lid of your Town car. The rack arms include anti-sway cradles to prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-car...

  • What is the Maximum Speed Limit when Using Snow Tire Chains
  • When tire chains are installed we recommend not exceeding 40 miles per hour (lower if the speed limit is lower). Also, some vehicle owners manuals state a specific speed when chains are in place so you will want to look at the owners manual for your 2005 Lincoln Town Car. When I searched for a 2005 Lincoln Town Car through our fit guide Thule chains # TH01594240 did not come up as a fit for tire size 225/60-17. I have included a link to the chains that do fit that size tire. If you have...

  • Replacement Fender Assemblies for a Demco II Tow Dolly
  • Hey Lincoln, thanks for reaching out! The two part numbers you were looking at were for two different Demco tow dollies which is why the pricing was that different for each. According to my research the same fender is used for the Kar Kaddy X and the Tow-It 2 (which is what I believe you have) so you'll need the following: - Driver Side # DM76MV - Passenger Side # DM66MV

  • Availability of and Installation of Class III Receiver Hitch for 2011 Lincoln Town Car
  • There are 2 Class III receiver hitches available for your 2011 Town Car, the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 41116 and the Curt Class III, part # 13707. Both Hitches will work great for you. Luckily enough, on your particular vehicle, the vast majority of the cross bar will be hidden behind the rear bumper structure, with a very small amount of the bottom of the cross bar and the receiver opening visible below the bumper. Town Car models with the dual exhaust will require the removal and...

  • What Exhaust Modification is Needed to Install Trailer Hitch # 87408 on a 2011 Lincoln Town Car
  • By looking over the instructions for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 41116, since the bracket already has to be rotated 180 degrees, also moving it to the outboard side of the frame rail may make it so that it will no longer be able to reach the exhaust that hangs from it. There may also be too much space between the hitch and frame with the hanger moved to the outboard side of the frame. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view to give you a better idea of...

  • Troubleshooting a Ball Mount Rusted to a Trailer Hitch
  • Sounds like your ball mount has rusted so badly that it is stuck in the hitch you have on your vehicle. What you will first want to do is liberally apply a spray lube like WD40 or liquid wrench to the ball mount. If the back of the hitch opening is open spray some down in there, down the front of the hitch opening and also on the hitch pin hole. Since you don't plan on using the ball mount anymore I would recommend taking a heavy hammer or sledge and hitting the ball mount into the hitch...

  • We have everything needed to equip your 1999 Lincoln Town Car so that it can pull your boat trailer. Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # 13707. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your Lincoln Town Car and it features a towing capacity of 4,000 pounds. I recommend also verifying the capacity of your vehicle by checking your copy of the owner's manual. You will need to follow whichever capacity is lower, the vehicle's or the hitch's. I...

  • Will a Hitch from a 1999 Lincoln Town Car Work on a 2004 Lincoln Town Car
  • A hitch from a 1999 Lincoln Town Car will also fit a 2004 Lincoln Town Car. Since your 2004 has dual exhaust you will need to relocate the exhaust hanger. I attached installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12130 for you to check out that shows how this is done.
