Is There Drilling Involved to Install a Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2010 Lincoln Town Car
Question:
I have a 2010 Lincoln Town Car. Does installing a Curt trailer hitch involve any drilling into the frame itself?

To install the Curt Hitch part # 13707 in your 2010 Lincoln Town Car you will need to do a little bit of drilling. You will need to drill 4 holes into the frame of the vehicle. Don't worry though, this is a pretty standard hitch install and it won't affect the strength of the frame.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well for further install info.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 46255.
