Expert Answers about Ford Taurus


  • Roof Rack That Works With Thule SUP Taxi Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier on 2015 Ford Taurus
  • There is a very high-quality roof rack that fits your 2015 Ford Taurus which will allow you to use the Thule SUP Taxi XT Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001, though Thule does not make a rack which fits your vehicle. Instead, I recommend the Rhino-Rack roof rack, which consists of parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK229. This rack has crossbars which are 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall so you will be able to use the Thule SUP Taxi Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001 with it. The...

  • Which Line is Transmission Cooler Installed On For 2008 Ford Taurus
  • When installing an aftermarket transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 # D13502, you will want to install it on the return line for your Ford Taurus. If you aren't sure which line is the return line, you can determine this by starting with the vehicle completely cooled off. Start the Taurus and put it in drive, apply the brakes firmly and then apply the accelerator so that the rpms climb, then put the vehicle back in park and turn it off. When you then feel the two lines coming...

  • Why is a Battery Connection Required for Trailer Wiring Installation on a 2012 ford Taurus
  • The trailer wiring harness # C56093 and any wiring harness that requires a direct connection to the battery uses battery power to power the trailer lights. If not connected, it will not work and the trailer lights will not come on. Also, this offers another level of protection between the trailer wiring and the vehicle wiring. The idea is that you are isolating the vehicle from the trailer as mush as possible to limit the chances of a short on the trailer damaging the vehicle wiring.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 65 lb E-Bike For a 2013 Ford Taurus
  • No, no trunk mounted bike rack is going to be able to hold a 65 lb e-bike unfortunately. Your best bet is to use a hitch mounted bike rack because that is going to give you a lot more options and capacity. It's kind of a big undertaking, but you'd need to install a hitch first if you don't have one. I'd recommend sticking with a class III hitch because just about everything is designed to be used with a class III hitch, plus the weight capacities tend to be a bit better. If you're looking...

  • Troubleshooting Running Light Function Not Working on Curt Trailer Wiring Harness # 56093
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56093 is a confirmed fit for all models of 2016 Ford Taurus except the police interceptors. With brake, turn, and flashers it shows you are getting the power on that wire, but with the running tail lights and license plate lights not working you are not getting signal from that constant power wire. that is the brown wire coming from the module. It sounds like the ground wire needs a better connection, so...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 1994 Ford Taurus Sedan
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12232 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 1994 Ford Taurus Sedan or Wagon. For trailer wiring you might also be interested in the Draw Tite Wiring Harness part # 18252. For a ball mount you would want the Drawbar part # C45522, along with the pin and clip # F-4. For a 1-7/8 inch ball you would want the # 19256, for a 2 inch ball you would want the Hitch Ball part # 19258.

  • Best Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Ford Taurus
  • Actually the Curt Hitch part # C12232 and the Draw Tite Hitch part # 36313 that you referenced are both very similar. They are basically two different manufacturers versions of the same hitch. What gives the Draw Tite hitch the edge of the Curt hitch though is that it does not require a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when used with a non-supported load like a bike rack like the Swagman XTC 2 part # S64670. If you failed to use the strap you would void the warranty of the hitch so...

  • Can Trailer Wiring Harness For 2012 Ford Taurus be Run to Spare Battery in Trunk
  • The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118599, which is what I recommend for your 2012 Ford Taurus, will connect to existing ports located inside the trunk and a hot lead with attached fuse holder will then need to be run up to your vehicle battery. Running the power wire to your primary vehicle battery under the hood is going to be your best option, as the battery will be charged by the alternator and will provide a reliable source for the harness. This is the safest way to install...

  • What Hitch Fits a 2013 Ford Taurus Interceptor?
  • The etrailer hitch item # e85KR you were looking at won't work but I have one that does. Since your 2013 Ford Taurus is the police interceptor model you will want the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # 75670. This is the only class III hitch with a 2" receiver that fits the interceptors. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59236 and a ball mount kit item # C45534. None of the custom...

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack to Fit a 2002 Ford Taurus Limited
  • There is a Rhino-Rack system that fits your 2002 Ford Taurus but the one you were looking at fits some model years of the Ford Courier and Mazda Bravo. It's also only a single bar roof rack so it won't hold a lot on your roof. Instead for your Taurus use # RR98SR which is a similar design and does fit your car. Two crossbars are included so you'll have a complete roof rack for carrying whatever it is you need it for. I've also attached a link to our return policy for you.

  • Best Trailer Hitch & Roof Racks for a 2014 Ford Taurus
  • The trailer hitch that I recommend going with for your 2014 Ford Taurus is the Curt # C13379 which is a Class III hitch that has a 2" receiver. You'll be able to use a wider variety of hitch accessories with a Class III receiver. I like the brackets and thicker powder coat on this Curt over what comes on the Draw-Tite which is why I recommend the Curt. If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR which can carry up to 3 bikes and has a U-Shaped...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2013 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor
  • For your 2013 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" 13552 is not a fit. For a confirmed fit, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # 75670. This will give you a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver on your police interceptor. I have attached a video to help. There is not a Curt brand hitch confirmed to fit, but Draw-Tite will. If you will be towing with this trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the Vehicle Wiring...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring For 1994 Ford Taurus GL
  • I recommend the Curt Class II hitch part # C12232 for the 1994 Ford Taurus because the Curt hitches have a better quality powder coat compared to the other options in our experience and they are assembled in the USA. The Curt hitch is a 1-1/4" hitch so please keep that in mind for a ball mount if you already have one. For the wiring, I recommend part # C55327 which is a fit for the GL confirmed by Curt. This is a plug and play harness which will plug in behind the tail lights.

  • Is Suspension Enhancement Required with Trailer Hitch for 2013 Ford Taurus
  • Not necessarily, installing a trailer hitch on your 2013 Ford Taurus like the Draw Tite part # 36492 would be fine without suspension enhancement, but adding it wouldn't be a bad idea if you plan to tow near the vehicle's capacity. For the suspension you'd then want the Air Lift kit part # AL60821 which would give you more suspension support to help level the vehicle.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Ford Taurus
  • I checked with Roadmaster and they do not recommend the use of a fuse bypass when flat towing your 2008 Ford Taurus. They also state that this vehicle is not known for battery drain while flat towing. To flat tow your vehicle you will need to start with a base plate kit. For that the part # 4415-1 has been confirmed as a fit and would work well. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables,...
