  • What Q-Towers Do I Need for a Yakima Roof Rack on a 2015 Ford Taurus?
  • I have a solution for you. I spoke with my contact at Yakima, and she confirmed that the Yakima Q Towers were discontinued in 2016. They were replaced by the Yakima Baseline towers. The Q-clips that you have will only work with the discontinued towers.

For that roof rack system, I recommend the following parts: - Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2002 Ford Taurus
  • I have a solution for you, but the Curt Multi Fit Class III # C13902 is designed to fit pickup trucks of various makes and models, and is not designed to fit on the frame of the 2002 Ford Taurus.

It looks like the 2002 Ford Taurus only has a towing capacity of 1250-lbs (sedan)...

  • LED Trailer Lighting Kit and Load Resistors to Prevent Hyperflashing
  • We do offer complete LED-type trailer lighting kits such as Optronics # TLL9RK. This DOT-approved kit includes everything you need for a trailer under 80-inches in width. It's included 4-pole harness is 25-feet long. LEDs use so little power that they can sometimes confuse a wiring harness. The simple fix to this issue is to use load resistors. These add resistance to the system and fool the harness into thinking it is sensing the resistive load typical of a standard incandescent bulb. Load...

  • Are Additional Lights Required on Towed Vehicle When Using a Tow Dolly
  • Generally, you don't need additional lighting when using a tow dolly that already has lights. However, it's not a bad idea to check with the local laws in the states you'll be traveling in and in Canada. Some people like to add additional lights just to make it easier to see the vehicle that's on the dolly. If you wish to add lights, you'll need to splice in a tow light kit, like # PE26UR, because the trailer connector on the back of your RV will already be in use with the dolly. Unless...

  • Parts Needed For 1999 Ford Taurus Wagon With Separate Stop and Turn Lights to Tow Trailer With 4-Way
  • Your 1999 Ford Taurus Wagon has a 5-wire system, which means it has separate stop and turn signals. Most trailers have the 4-wire system, which has the stop and turn signal combined in one wire. You do not need to change the wiring on your trailer to match your vehicle. There is an easier solution for getting the vehicle and the trailer connected. You will want to use the Draw-Tite Wring Harness, part # 119178KIT, on your Taurus to get a 4-Way connector. This wiring harness will use a...
