Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 41116 Fit 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor w/Dual Exhaust
First, you may not have to do anything with the exhaust because it appears that it may only affect Lincoln Town Car models. In the event that the exhaust on your PI Crown Vic is in the way of the hitch installation, the only modification is to move a hanger bracket. I have linked the instructions so you can see the possible modifications. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4EL. It includes a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, a hitch pin with...

How to Test a Trailer Brake Controller on 2007 Ford Crown Victoria without Connecting to a Trailer
You don't need to be connected to a trailer to test a brake controller, but the brake controller does need to sense a slight amperage draw on the output circuit. You'll want to use a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 with one pin grounded and the other on the brake circuit output pin on your 7 way connection. Then you can hit the brake pedal of the vehicle and you should see the brake controller operate like normal. You'll need someone to help since it's hard to be at the rear of the vehicle...

Will the Konig Tire Chains # TH01221104 Fit My 235/55-17 Tires on My 2010 Ford Crown Victoria?
Sorry about the confusion. If entered your 2010 Ford Crown Victoria into our fitguide and manually inputted your 235/55-17 tires, all of these listed tire chains will technically fit your tire size, but they have not been fitted on a 2010 Ford Crown Victoria specifically. If you are looking at the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CB12 - Size 104 # TH01221104, those will fit 235/55-17 tires. In order to make sure these chains are safe to use on your Crown Victoria,...

Hitch Recommendation for 2008 Ford Crown Victoria for Carrying Motorcycle Carrier
For your 2008 Ford Crown Victoria the highest rated trailer hitch we offer is the Curt part # 13707 which has a tongue weight rating of 400 lbs. If your bike weighs 400 lbs then you'd be over capacity with the weight of it plus the carrier. The etrailer carrier part # e98873 has a 500 lb capacity and would work well in the Curt hitch mentioned. This carrier weighs 58 lbs.

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2001 Ford Crown Victoria for Towing 2,600 lb Boat Trailer
There isn't a way we can recommend you reinforce a Class I hitch so that it's capacities increase. Only solution we have for your 2001 Ford Crown Victoria would be a higher capacity hitch. Ideally you'd go with a Class III like the Curt part # 13707 which has more than enough capacity, but a Class II like the Curt # C12130 also has enough capacity for your 2,600 lb boat as it has a 3,500 lb trailer capacity. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Hopkins kit part # HM11140504 which is...

Suspension Enhancement for a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria
I did not know that having a sagging back end was cause to be pulled over. I know that some areas do have restrictions on how far off the pavement a vehicle can be. So first lets look at why the vehicle is sagging. If there is nothing in the trunk or back of the vehicle to weigh it down, and you have not modified it (like cutting the springs or used a lowering kit) then there is probably a problem with the suspension. If your 2000 Ford Crown Victoria uses rear air shocks, that could be...

What Hitch Receiver Will Fit On My 2011 Crown Vic
I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13707. It takes about 50 minutes to install, you won't need to drill holes in the frame. If you have dual exhaust you will need to relocate the exhaust pipe hanger to provide adequate clearance for the pipe. Next you will need wiring, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # C59236. This gives you the connection point to plug the 4-way from a trailer to your...

Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria and 4k Travel Trailer
First, you are going to want to make sure that the hitch is rated for use with weight distribution. Not all hitches are. There should be a sticker on the hitch that will indicate its capacity when using weight distribution. You have to do the same for the vehicle by consulting the owners manual. If you need a hitch that is rated for weight distribution you can use # 13707. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation and a link to the instructions. For weight distribution...

Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria
Your 2006 Ford Crown Victoria can be fitted with a 7-Way trailer wiring harness but you will first need to install a 4 pin trailer connector/converter # C59496, because the vehicle has separate turn signals and brake lights. Trailers use combined turn signals and brake lights. After you have the 4 pin connector installed you can then add a 4 to 7-Way adapter # 37185. Or if you need to install a brake controller use # ETBC7 that comes with the adapter and the wiring and accessories needed...
