Expert Answers about Mercury Grand Marquis


  • Reese 24x60 Railed Cargo Carrier, # 63153, Recommendation for Mercury Grand Marquis 2004
  • Yes, since your class III hitch has a 2 inch opening, you will be able to use this 24x60 Railed Cargo Carrier for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, part # 63153. This cargo carrier measures 12-3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the carrier platform. You might want to measure your vehicle from the center of your hitch pin hole out to be sure everything will clear. This is a great unit with a weight capacity of 500 pounds. You will need to check your vehicle manufacturer recommendations...

  • The item you selected, the Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13611 will work on your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis as long as you have room to mount it on your vehicle. The ideal place to mount a transmission cooler for maximum cooling efficiency is behind the grill of your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis but in front of the radiator. Part # D13611 is a plate and fin cooler and is very effective in cooling the transmission fluid. You will want to measure at the front of your vehicle to make...

  • Trailer Hitch and Brake Controller Plus Wiring Recommendation for 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • The Curt hitch part # 13707 is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis so it would be a great place to start like you mentioned for towing with your vehicle. For wiring you will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C59236. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation...

  • Why a Powered Trailer Taillight Converter is Recommended for a 2010 Mercury Marquis
  • The # C59496 is the recommended powered taillight converter for your Grand Marquis. It does draw the power needed directly from the vehicle battery rather than pulling it through the vehicle's taillight circuits. The direct battery connection provides a more reliable power source, plus it serves to isolate the vehicle wiring from that of the trailer, protecting it from any short circuits. The 2010 Grand Marquis uses a combined wiring system which combines the brake lamps and turn signals...

  • Can Timbren Axle Less Systems be Used on Tandem Axle Trailers
  • You can use Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems like the part # A35RS545 in a tandem axle setup but I would not recommend running this axle with a standard trailer axle at same time. You'd want to run two of the Timbren axles to ensure proper weight distribution. Also the center point between the two axles would need to be where your current axle is right now.

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis Towing a 1974 Play Mor Camper
  • A brake controller and trailer brakes are recommended any time the weight of the trailer being towed exceeds 50 percent of the weight of the vehicle. In your case the 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis weighs somewhere around 3900 lbs or slightly more, so If the gross trailer weight loaded and ready to tow is below 1,950 lbs then a brake controller would not be required but would still be a good idea for safety and would help with wear and tear on the vehicle brakes and suspension. We have articles...

  • Trailer Jack Replacement for Barker VIP 3500 on Travel Trailer
  • Sounds like it's time for a new jack! I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame # JET-5000. It has a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs which would be more than you'd need but will ensure that the jack will operate quickly and last a long time.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis W/ Dual Exhaust
  • The Class III rating on a trailer hitch receiver means it has a 2" receiver and has a higher tongue weight and trailer weight rating than a Class I or II hitch. Class III hitches are what we typically recommend if they are available for the specific vehicle as the 2" receiver offers the most options for accessories like a bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount, and the increased tongue weight and trailer weight ratings are ideal for knowing the receiver on your vehicle is plenty strong...

  • Recommended Snow Chain Speed and Chains For 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2013 Toyota Prius V
  • Tire chains are normally rated for a max speed of 30 mph and this is not dependent on style or manufacturer. The Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CB12 - Size 100 # TH01221100 are great chains for your tires and the color coding does make them easier to install. They come with a 5 year warranty and a storage case when not in use. The 12mm internal clearance required makes them Class S compatible which is a requirement from many manufacturers in their owners...

Most likely you have the Curt # 13707 or the Draw Tite # 41116 which are the two Class III hitches we offer for your 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis.

  • Parts Needed to Add Brakes to Aluma 6310H Trailer
  • Thank you for all of that info. Based on that you'd need a 3,500 lb trailer axle hub and drum with 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern and matching brake assemblies. For that you'd want the # AKHD-545-35-K for the hub which comes with all bearings and is pre-greased and then for brake assemblies # AKEBRK-35-SA which are self-adjusting and you'd be set.

  • Recommended Sway Control for 1800 lbs 13 Foot Scamp Travel Trailer
  • Sway control is designed to be used in situations where the trailer sways under adverse conditions such as high winds or when large vehicles are passing causing the trailer to become unstable. Sway control also helps if you have to maneuver suddenly. Also if the trailer has a low tongue weight percentage the sway control can help to a point, but a weight distribution system will help more with this situation. The best solution for sway that is present without the above mentioned adverse...

  • Yes, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - Black # 298-SX6000B is the best option (and currently, the only option) for you. The Monkey Bars has one of the easiest installations of any roof racks we carry.

  • Black Spare Tire Cover Recommendation to Fit a P215-75R-15 Size
  • The overall diameter of your 215/75-15 tire is 27.7 inches. The part # 052963753479 would work well for you since it can fit tires from 26-3/4" - 29-3/4" and it is black. I attached a review video for this cover for you to check out as well.

  • 12 Foot Fleetwood Pop Up Camper Cover Recommendation
  • For a more snug fit I would recommend going with the 10-12 foot long version of the Classic Accessories Deluxe PolyPro III Heavy-Duty Pop-Up Camper Cover # CA80039. This was designed to accomodate an AC unit like what you have on your trailer currently so it would work well in that regard.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring Harness, and Brake Controller for 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13707 which is assembled in the USA. This can then be paired with the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter part # C59236 to control the lights. In order to convert this to a 7-way with 4-way I recommend using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7. This also comes with everything else you need to install a trailer brake controller like the Curt TriFlex...

  • Firestone Coil-Rite System Recommendation for a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring # F4107 that you referenced would be a good choice to help improve braking and handling, and reduce tire wear when traveling with a load. You should note that this product will not give you additional towing capacities when used. You should consult the owners manual of your vehicle to determine what is the overall towing capacity of your vehicle and not exceed that. It would not be too difficult to install this product, it would not require any...

  • Can Lippert Ground Control Stabilizer Jack be Used on Bumper Pull Trailer
  • Lippert Ground Control # LC358590 is designed for 5th wheel trailers so it is not a good option for your bumper pull trailer. There isn't an automated system like this for travel trailers at this time from us.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for the 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • We have several hitches available for your 2010 Mercurt Grand Marquis. I have included a link to the options that we offer for your reference. The Curt # C12130 that you mentioned is not considered a fit for your 2010, it was a fit from 1992-2009. Of the hitches that are confirmed as a fit for your I recommend a Class III option like the # 41116. This hitch offers a 2 inch receiver that is compatible with a wide range of towing products, and a hitch accessories. If you plan on doing...
