Expert Answers about Lincoln Navigator


  • Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for 2013 Lincoln Navigator
  • The installation on your Navigator shouldn't be too difficult. For the easiest installation possible, I'd recommend the Curt Echo, part # C51180. This is a wireless brake controller that allows you to control the braking action of the travel trailer using a smart phone. Since you already have the 4 pole trailer connector in place, the only other thing you'll need is the # ETBC7L brake controller installation kit. The kit includes an adapter that will convert your existing 4 pole to a 7-way....

  • To install the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 in your 2002 Lincoln Navigator that has a factory 7-way all you would need is the install harness part # 3035-P.

  • Does Factory Grille on a 2005 Lincoln Navigator have to be Removed to Install a Putco Grille Insert
  • Actually, to install the Putco Liquid Spiderweb Grille Insert, # P303117, on your 2005 Lincoln Navigator, you do not have to remove the grille at all. If you wanted more room to work when installing the insert, I suppose you could remove the grille, attach the insert, and then reinstall the grille, but it is not required for installation. I have included a link to all of the grille options we have for the 2005 Lincoln Navigator for you to view.

  • Availability of Programmer to Improve Gas Mileage for 2004 Navigator
  • Based on my research, the average fuel economy for your vehicle is 11 mpg / city and 16 mpg / hwy. Because your fuel economy deteriorated so quickly, we suspect your spark plugs might be getting fouled. I would recommend pulling and examining your spark plugs to ensure they are not fouled with oil. If they are it would indicate that your engine needs work. I would also recommend checking your spark plug wires for damage. We do have some programmers that would provide a very modest improvement...

  • 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter Recommendation for 2010 Lincoln Navigator
  • If your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For A 2010 Lincoln Navigator
  • When it comes to using a weight distribution system on your 2010 Lincoln Navigator The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 pounds GTW, 800 pounds TW # FA92-00-0800 will be the system that you will need. Using the Fastway e2 will not cause the Navigator to pop up if you're under the towing capacity limitations for your vehicle, even though you have the heavy duty tow package doesn't mean the vehicle can actually handle it. When using a weight distribution...

  • How Much Does 10K ProPride 3P Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Sway Control Weigh
  • The ProPride 3P Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Sway Control for 2" Receivers # PR57QR ships out at 240 lbs so it's definitely a hefty piece of equipment. With that being said, weight distribution systems are designed to distribute the tongue weight between all the axles of your towing rig (tow vehicle and trailer) so the systems ends up not really counting since it's the piece of equipment that levels everything out. It's a little bit confusing but ultimately you won't be adding the weight...

  • Difference Between Kuat Transfer V2 - 2 & 3 Bike Hitch Lock
  • Yes it is. The Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches, part # HL2, will work with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes but not the Kuat Transfer V2 Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes. The bike racks are secured to the vehicle in different ways, thus the incompatibility. The anti-rattle hitch bolt of the Transfer V2 works like a traditional threaded hitch pin to eliminate the movement between the hitch receiver and the hitch bike rack. The Transfer V3 has an anti-rattle device...

  • What wires on the Adapter 4 Pole to 7-Way and 4 Pole are Used for What Functions
  • You are right the blue wire is usually for electric trailer brakes and runs to the blue wire on the brake controller. In some cases the blue wire is wired to the backup light circuit to disengage hydraulic surge brakes when backing. The black wire is normally used for accessory power and the yellow wire is auxiliary power that is used to charge the battery.

  • Weight Distribution for a 2002 Lincoln Naviagtor and 5,900 Pound Toy Hauler Trailer
  • The first thing you will want to check is the hitch on your 2002 Lincoln Navigator to make sure it is compatible with weight distribution (which I am sure it is) and more specifically the tongue weight capacity when used with weight distribution. Trailer tongue weight is usually 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight but can be higher on toy haulers. If the trailer's dry weight is 5,000 pounds and the 900 pound bike is the only thing loaded in it that would be 5,900 pounds. At 10...

  • Best 4-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Lincoln Navigator
  • I'd recommend the Thule Apex Swing bike rack part # TH9027XT that you referenced as the best 4 bike rack. It's easy to load/unload, is very secure and stable, and unlike most racks out there can swing out and give you complete access to the rear of the vehicle with bikes loaded.

  • Stealth Brand Trailer Hitch Fit for 2016 S5 Audi Convertible
  • According to Stealth Hitch, the proper hitch for your vehicle is part # 391AUDA4A5S509. I just spoke with my Stealth Hitch representative to confirm this for you. I've linked the installation instructions for you. This hitch would be compatible with a bike rack, but not for towing purposes. If you wanted to tow with the hitch use part # 391AUDA4A5S52T. The # 391AUDQ509 hitch you'd looked at is a fit for the 2016 Q5 or SQ5, but NOT the S5.

  • Troubleshooting Lights Of New Taillights On 5'x8' Trailer Working At Incorrect Times
  • This sounds like the typically tail light replacement where you hook stuff up color to color, and not function to function. You need to verify with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 that the connector on your vehicle is working correctly first. If you have all the correct functions on the correct pins (check out the attached help article) then the issue is with the trailer wiring, but if your factory connector is not working right then it's something on the vehicle side. Assuming the vehicle...

  • Activating Trailer Wiring 12 Volt Circuit of a 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  • If the 12 volt circuit of the 7-way on your 2004 Lincoln Navigator does not have a wire run to it then you would need to run a length of 10 gauge wire like our part # 10-1-1 through a circuit breaker # 9510 to the positive terminal of your vehicle battery. If the wiring is present on the connector but it is not active you will need to check the trailer wiring fuses and relays in the fuse box and replace as needed. Most likely you are missing a fuse or relay. I attached a help article...

  • What do I need to Convert a 4-Way to 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2005 Lincoln Navigator
  • You would use 4-way to 7-way adapter, part # 30717. You would extend the yellow lead on the adapter and tap it into the reverse light circuit on your Navigator. The easiest way to access this circuit is from behind the taillight assembly. White will need to be connected to to the Navigator frame for ground. Since you have surge brakes, the blue wire is not need and can be taped up. The black wire is for providing a 12V power feed from the vehicle to a battery or electrical system on the...
