Expert Answers about Mercury Grand Marquis


  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis for Towing Small Boat
  • For your 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis the Curt hitch part # 13707 has been confirmed as a fit and would have the towing capacities of 4,000 lbs total trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. We have suspension enhancements available for your vehicle, but since I don't know the weight of your boats/trailer it's hard to say if they would be necessary. The Firestone part # F4107 has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle though. Be sure not to also exceed the towing capacities of your vehicle...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Replacement Hitch Hardware Recommendation for a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • We do sell replacement hardware for the trailer hitches we offer. For that you would need part # RHK. On the product page you would need to enter the part number of the hitch you have and select the manufacturer of the hitch that you have. 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.

  • 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...

  • Tow Ready Wiring # 119176KIT Recommendation for a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • The Tow Ready Wiring Kit # 119176KIT that you referenced will work on your 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. This unit features a circuit protected modulite that safeguards your vehicle from any harmful electrical shorts and should not cause any problems on your vehicle. Basically, it will power your trailer tail lights with power coming straight from your vehicle battery and will not put any load on the delicate tail light circuitry of your vehicle. I attached installation instructions for...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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. In addition, the Monkey Bars have a total weight capacity of 150 pounds to give you plenty of capacity to transport cargo and accessories on your 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis.

  • 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.

  • Parts Needed to Install 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • Since there isn't a custom fit 4-way for your 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis the best solution would be the 5-way kit part # 119177 that you referenced. If there's a custom fit 4-way normally a 4-way with a 5-way adapter is easiest but for your vehicle the # 119177 is best route.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • If you have dual exhaust on your 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis you will need to make a slight modification to your exhaust hanger to install the Draw Tite hitch part # 4116. In order to clear the exhaust, the hanger will need to be bent to avoid contact with the hitch once it is installed. This is a pretty simple process, which should not require a trip to the muffler shop or any major modifications. I have linked you to an FAQ article that explains how to manipulate the muffler hangers to...

  • 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.

  • Adapter with a Rise to Carry Wheelchair Carrier Higher Up
  • I do have some solutions for you but the Roadmaster adapter # RM-077-8 would not work because it is only rated for carrying accessories while flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome. If your vehicle has a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver opening then you could use # HT5R to get some extra height if your hitch is a Class I or II (max capacity 300 pounds but limited to tongue weight capacity of hitch). Keep in mind that the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness Kit for Towing a Trailer with a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
  • The wiring kit I recommend for your 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis is the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. If you haven't already decided on a trailer hitch then I recommend going with a 2" receiver like the Curt # 13707 because it opens up the door to a variety of towing accessories and won't be as restrictive as a 1-1/4" receiver. You'll also need a ball mount to complete your towing setup. I have attached out selection of ball mounts for...
