Expert Answers about Ford Taurus
- Is There a Plug and Play Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2005 Ford Taurus Wagon
- The only available trailer wiring harness options for a 2005 Ford Taurus Wagon require splicing like the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit part # 119178KIT which is what I recommend. This is a complete kit so it comes with everything you need like wire connectors and a test light.
Unfortunately, there are no plug and play kits for this vehicle.

It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and features a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds.

- The Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack part # Y02458 is an excellent bike rack option that already comes with a hitch lock. In order to use a lock for the bikes you'll also need the Yakima HandCuff Cable Lock part # Y02466. That said, this option will likely give you two different sets of keys. If you would like for both locks to match, you'll also need the Yakima Same Key System part # Y07202.

view full answer... - Is the 2003 Ford Taurus Capable of Towing a Trailer for Power Chair with an 1-1/4 Trailer Hitch?
- Your 2003 Ford Taurus is classified as a light duty towing vehicle. The amount of weight you can safely tow depends on the type of engine you have in your vehicle. You will want to check your owner's manual to confirm what your specific model Taurus is capable of. It's also important to know how much the total trailer will weigh.
The Curt trailer hitch # C12232 you were looking at will have a weight rating of 300lbs tongue weight and 3,500lbs towing, but it's important to know that you...

- What you described is a shorted out trailer wiring converter box. When all of the pins are hot all of the time that indicates that the box had an internal short and it needs to be replaced. The Curt harnesses are known to short out a bit easier than the Tekonsha kits like part # 118599 which is a fit for your 2014 Ford Taurus so this would be what I would recommend for your replacement.
Be sure to go over your trailer's wiring to determine if there are any obvious shorts on it's wiring...
view full answer... - Recommended Class II Trailer Hitch for a 2001 Ford Taurus Wagon
- I have a solution for you, but the 36216 hitch will not fit the 2001 Ford Taurus Wagon. I cannot recommend you modify a hitch to fit your vehicle because it will compromise the structural integrity of the hitch as well as not carry the same weight ratings. It also wouldn't be covered by a warranty as well as damage the frame of your vehicle, and is potentially life threatening if it falls off during transit. The best thing to do is sell your current hitch to offset the cost of purchasing...
view full answer... - Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2001 Ford Taurus with Class I Hitch
- The issue that you are running into is that the Draw Tite hitch part # 24699 that you referenced is a Class I hitch and the cargo carrier you bought is a Class II only accessory. That tab that you have found in the hitch is designed to prevent Class II accessories from being used in the hitch. This is so you don't overload the hitch.
Realistically the only solution I can recommend for you would be to go with a Class I rated cargo carrier like the # C18145. Check out the review video I...

- I recommend the Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59496 for your 2013 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor trailer wiring. This will give you a 4-way flat connection that will allow you to work with the unique wiring of a police interceptor and draws power directly from the vehicle battery to protect your electronics. There is not a harness that will plug into factory wiring for your vehicle because it isn't a standard model. This kit will allow you to use quick...

- If your 2002 Ford Taurus has an 1800 lb towing capacity, I cannot recommend towing anything that would exceed the vehicle's towing capacity. Attempting to do so would damage the driveline of your Taurus.
My research indicates that in order to flat tow the Town Car with all 4 wheels flat on the ground, you'd need to do some fairly extensive modifications to the vehicle, it cannot be flat towed as it sits.
I'd recommend you use a vehicle that has a sufficient towing capacity and a tow dolly...

- The Thule OutWay PRO 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # TH45JV is going to be the best option for your lady's cruiser bike and 2013 Ford Taurus. It has arms that adjust up and down, in and out, independently of each other and the rest of the rack. What that means is that bikes with alternative frames can be loaded without the use of an adapter bar such as # 64005.
The Passage # TH910XT will hold the bike but in all likelihood you will need to use the above mentioned adapter...
view full answer... - 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...

- I found an online copy of the owners manual from Ford for your 1997 Ford Taurus. It states that you can only flat tow with 4 wheels down for a maximum of 50 miles and at speeds no greater than 35 miles per hour. To tow the vehicle further and at higher speeds you would need to use a tow dolly. Please check your owners manual and/or contact a Ford dealer for more information.
We do have a tow dolly that you can use. Take a look at Roadmaster tow dolly # RM-2050-1. This unit features lights,...

- I have a solution for you but you'd have to have a 2 inch hitch installed on your 2018 Ford Taurus like the Curt # C12296. Then you could use the Hollywood Rack RV Rider part # HLY64FR for fat bikes which is confirmed as a fit at the rear of a vehicle that is being flat towed.
When a vehicle is flat towed it will have a slight side to side sway to it as the steering works to keep itself centered as you are travelling. This side to side sway can sometimes cause stress on bike racks which...
