How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 3 through Class 5 hardware to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the truck can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Ford Crown Victoria in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this full-size sedan, then open the live CURT shelf we stock for listed Crown Victoria years. CURT 13707 is the in-stock Class 3 hitch whose live sheet names two thousand eight through two thousand eleven Crown Victoria, along with listed Grand Marquis and Town Car siblings. The hitch card rates about four thousand pounds gross trailer weight and four hundred pounds tongue weight, and it stays compatible with weight distribution at about six thousand pounds gross and six hundred pounds tongue on the hitch card. That is honest sedan bumper-pull hardware for a light utility or small boat trailer that still respects the Ford door sticker. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 13707 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path. The live CURT sheet names two thousand eight through two thousand eleven Crown Victoria, two thousand eight through two thousand nine Grand Marquis, and two thousand eight through two thousand eleven Town Car. On the hitch card it rates about four thousand pounds gross and four hundred pounds tongue, with weight-distribution notes at about six thousand and six hundred. That is the honest rear-receiver card we stock today for those late Panther-platform years.
Earlier Crown Victoria year landers still help you shop lights and related gear on this store, but we will not pretend a different stocked rear-hitch SKU exists for every older year when 13707 is the live card naming the late Crown Vic window. Read the live title before you cart anything. Town Car and Grand Marquis siblings share this sheet on many years, so do not assume a police-package bumper or aftermarket exhaust automatically shares the same hardware without checking the card.
We do not invent a Crown Victoria-only wiring harness promise across every listed year here. Confirm the plug style on the car you own, then plan a brake controller only when the trailer actually has electric brakes. This page stays focused on the rear receiver path for listed Crown Victoria years that match the live 13707 sheet.
