I thought you might be interested in seeing the hitch after I installed it. Pretty easy install, except make sure you have all the proper tools. The more tools the easier it is to install. Trust me I've been a mechanic my entire life.

2008 Lincoln Town Car

I received the trailer hitch ,wiring kit and bolts. I was so glad the bolts were not missing.
The box was way too large and the hitch was moving around inside.

That box was way too large to fit into the trunk of my Lincoln Towncar.
After I removed the hitch from the box the hitch easily fit into the trunk of my car.

There is an excellent video of the installation from start to finish.
IT is the video showing the technician wearing red Firestone gloves.
The title was trailer hitch installation Lincoln Town car- ETrailer.

The installation video referenced shows the installation of the Draw Tite trailer hitch for the Lincoln Town Car. Make sure to check the installation instructions from Curt that came with the C12130 hitch for the manufacturers installation steps and torque specifications.

2007 Mercury Grand Marquis

product was fine--a little heavier than necessary for the lightest rating but fit my mercury just fine. Please notify customers if Item is not in stock when they order.
The customer needs to have pretty good idea when their order might arrive. They may have already made arrangements for installation and this would preclude the need for cancellation. Luckily my hitch" just came in " when I called after seeing "shipping date pending " on the order tracking page. I wonder if I would have received my order in time had I not called. t Thanks for getting it to me quickly after I called' It prevented me from having to reschedule installation a second time.



by:

Have not yet had a chance to install, but it appears to be the right item and complete with all installation parts, instructions sheet, etc. Fulfilling my order took about three weeks - which is not a complaint, because I know many supply chains are strained right now. Just FYI.

Ford Crown Victoria

Great fit, easy install. This was for a Crown Victoria police cruiser to move a radar trailer with, worked perfectly. The service at etrailer is as always the very best. Any time I need trailer parts or hiches, etrailer is my first stop.

It is a nice frame hitch and my first direct fit for my Mercury Grand Marquis. It took an hour and a half to install by myself. Much nicer than multifit frame hitches that have 1 million bolts. Would recommend for Panther body Ford Lincoln Mercury.

Ordered this for my dad's 1999 Mercury. Received product quickly. Waiting for dad to come to town to install it. I am sure it will work just fine.

Thanks so much!

  • Using the etrailer e98873 Motorcycle Carrier on a 1997 Lincoln Town Car
    I would not recommend using the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 on your 1997 Lincoln Town Car. From the research I have done, your vehicle probably has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. Once you add the weight of the motorcycle carrier and weight of the item you are carrying you will probably exceed the limit of 200 lbs. I would recommend checking your owners manual for the tongue weight and trailer weight capacity of your vehicle and looking into a small trailer. If...

  • Will the Curt Class II Hitch # C12130 fit 1988 and 1995 Lincoln Town Car
    The Curt hitch you referenced, part # C12130 will fit a 1980-2010 Lincoln Town Car. It will indeed fit both of your vehicles. This being said, a hitch is not meant to be repeatedly installed and removed or swapped between vehicles. If it is removed and installed on a second vehicle, the manufacturer recommends using new hardware. A hardware kit can be purchased by ordering part # RHK, and typing "C12130" in the part number field. For installation details, click the provided link. I have...

  • Is Drilling Involved when Installing Trailer Hitch # C12130 on a 1983 to 2010 Ford Crown Victoria
    For the 1983 to 2010 Ford Crown Victoria, Sedan and Wagon, you will need to drill 4 holes in the frame in order to install Curt Trailer Hitch, # C12130. I have included a link to the installation details. Step 4 in the instructions explains the required drilling. I have also included a link to a video showing installation on a similar vehicle, a 1992 Lincoln Town Car. The main difference on the Town Car and other vehicles compatible with this hitch is that on the Town Car there are some...

  • Can Appearance Panel be Trimmed and Reinstalled After Hitch Installation on 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    A lot of vehicles have those body or appearance panels. On the 2003 Lincoln Town Car it is not structural meaning that it isn't there to help hold the bumper or fascia up. It is basically helping to protect the metal parts above it from the elements. You might be able to reinstall the panel but it would require some extensive trimming and there aren't specific instructions that explain how to do so. Leaving it off is the way I would go. I have linked a video and the instructions to the...

  • Is There Drilling Required to Install Curt Hitch C12130 in a 2009 Lincoln Town Car
    The Curt trailer hitch part # C12130 does require some frame drilling for installation. The frame should not be too hard to get through but frames are made of steel. Your best option would be to invest in a nicer drill bit and drill to get through the frame quicker.

The hitch removed from your 1998 can be used on your 2000 Grand Marquis if it's in good shape, but you'll need new hardware, as the hardware is meant for a one time use only.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2001 Ford Crown Victoria for Towing 2,600 lb Boat Trailer
    There isn't a way we can recommend you reinforce a Class I hitch so that it's capacities increase. Only solution we have for your 2001 Ford Crown Victoria would be a higher capacity hitch. Ideally you'd go with a Class III like the Curt part # 13707 which has more than enough capacity, but a Class II like the Curt # C12130 also has enough capacity for your 2,600 lb boat as it has a 3,500 lb trailer capacity. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Hopkins kit part # HM11140504 which is...

    A hitch from a 1999 Lincoln Town Car will also fit a 2004 Lincoln Town Car. Since your 2004 has dual exhaust you will need to relocate the exhaust hanger. I attached installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12130 for you to check out that shows how this is done.

  • 2000 Grand Marquis Trailer Hitch Receiver Capacity Rated Higher Than Vehicle Capacity
    Your owners manual will give you the towing capacity of your vehicle. The hitch receiver, like # C12130 has a higher capacity rating, but you will be limited to the manufacturer's specs. The hitch although rated for more, does not increase your vehicle's rating. In towing, the weakest rating of any of your parts is the one that is your maximum rating of all your parts. In this case, your limit will be 2000 lbs max towing capacity.
