Yes, the Curt 12130 receiver hitch is designed for 2003 and later Lincoln Town Car models. However, installation requires removal of the external dress panel beneath the vehicle (which must be returned to you after installation) and relocation of the passenger side exhaust hanger bracket. The exhaust hanger must be removed from the vehicle frame and rubber mount, rotated, and reattached to the hanger bracket before being mounted to the hitch.
Yes, the Curt 12130 is compatible with Ford Crown Victoria wagons (79-09). However, wagon applications require the use of wedge block spacers at specific mounting locations to properly level the hitch assembly. These spacers are included in the parts kit.
The Curt 12130 receiver hitch is designed for use with ball mount part number D-221 / 36063.
The Curt 12130 has a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The kit includes: 1 hex head cap screw 5/16-18 UNC 1-1/4" Grade 8; 4 carriage bolts 1/2-13 UNC 2-1/4" Grade 8 yellow zinc; 4 serrated flange nuts 1/2-13 UNC Grade 8 yellow zinc; 1 serrated flange nut 5/16-18 UNC Grade 8 yellow zinc; 4 flat washers 5/16"; 10 square hole spacers 0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00"; 2 wedge spacers 1/2"; and 1 fishwire.
The manual does not mention battery disconnection as a requirement for installation.
Remove all but a thin film of undercoating from the frame at the hitch mounting location. The attaching surfaces must be completely free of weld spatter and other objects that could prevent the hitch from being mounted flat to the frame.
Yes, drilling is required. You will drill four holes in the frame rails using the hitch as a template. The holes required near the bumper should be drilled as close to the center of the vehicle as possible. The mounting plates should be positioned approximately 1" from the end of the frame.
Yes. The 1995 Lincoln Town Car external dress panel beneath the vehicle must be removed for hitch installation and returned to the vehicle owner after installation is complete.
Two modifications are required: (1) The external dress panel beneath the vehicle must be removed for installation and returned to the vehicle owner. (2) The passenger side exhaust hanger bracket must be removed from the vehicle frame and rubber mount, rotated, and reattached to the hanger bracket. The exhaust hanger assembly is then attached to the hitch mounting plate and exhaust after the hitch installation is complete.
Install spacers between the vehicle frame and hitch as needed to level the hitch assembly. Wagon applications require the use of provided wedge block spacers. For 1984 and later Lincoln Town Car models, use two spacer blocks at mounting locations near the bumper and one spacer block at the forward mounting locations. The spacers should be positioned before attaching the flange nuts to the mounting bolts.
Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft.
The fishwire is used to carriage the bolts and blocks into the mounting locations during installation, before final tightening.
After completing the hitch installation, attach the exhaust hanger assembly to the hitch mounting plate and exhaust. If required, attach the exhaust hanger bracket to the passenger side mounting plate using the hardware provided. Use washers as needed to level the exhaust hanger on the mounting plate. For 2003 and later models, reverse the rubber exhaust mount on the hanger as shown and mount to the hitch plate with hardware provided.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the Curt 12130 has a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit, which must be observed.
