Help Needed (Receiver Hitch)

[SID210SA]

I cant seem to find in search what I am looking for.

On a recent trip to San Angelo for a carshow I quickly found out I didnt have enough trunk space for all the gear my family and I were taking with us. So after the trip I went to Uhaul to find a receiver hitch for the Marauder but they said there was nothing available for my car. I know I have seen a few of yall with receiver hitches on your Marauders and even a rack to carry stuff on and that is what I am looking for also. Any help would be apprecaited.

My understanding is that you have to look on the Hitch people's websites for what fits a '99 Crown Vic/ GM/ TC. I believe that '99 may have been the last year that Ford had any advertised towing capacity -- nothing really has changed since then except Ford re-did the frames in 2003 to hydroformed rails. Try to find one that does NOT require drilling into the frame such that you can use existing frame holes.

Try Curt trailer hitches.

Two listed on their web site.

Friend of mine is a dealer for them, and he swears by them....

Ask and ye shall receive. I took pics after it was installed. One was of the part number sticker. I took it to a local shop that has been here for decades. They looked under the car and knew exactly what to install.

Ditto...mine as well.

Go to a professional hitch and trailer vendor.
Avoid Uhaul at all costs.

< $260 installed.

That sounds about right. 250-300 bucks is what I remember. I also think that I remember it did require a couple holes drilled.

It also cures your rear bumper sag. ;-)
