This CURT class 2 hitch is perfect for towing a small trailer, such as a boat trailer, lightweight camper or utility trailer. It can also be used to mount a hitch cargo carrier or bike rack (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 2 trailer hitch is made for a vehicle-specific fit. It is engineered to seamlessly integrate with select years of the Lincoln LS (see application info to verify fitment). It is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. It is also equipped with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receiver to accept the included ball mount. The ball mount that comes with this hitch kit has a 3/4" trailer ball hole and can be positioned in the drop or rise orientation for level towing with your specific trailer (trailer ball not included). Like all CURT custom receiver hitches, this class 2 hitch is designed, manufactured, finished and tested with the utmost care. It is engineered for a precise fit, easy installation, maximum towing strength and an integrated look on the vehicle. It is also tested to SAE J684 protocols for safety. This class 2 trailer hitch is finished with our industry-leading dual-coat process for unparalleled rust, chip and UV resistance. It is descaled for a smooth surface, submersed in liquid A-coat for rust prevention inside and out, covered with a highly durable powder coat, and finally co-cured for a dependable shield against the elements. This class 2 hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and mounting hardware for a complete installation.

At first I didn't think this would fit my 2002 LS. I couldn't figure out how to get it in position. Eventually I realized it has to slip under the rear bumper cover and that the screws securing the bottom of the bumper cover will never be able to fit again. The manual mentions using zip ties and also said they are included, but I didn't get any zip ties in my sealed box. Also, there was no fishing wire with this hitch as my previous CURT hitch had, even though that is also mentioned in the instructions. This was quite disappointing as that was my favorite part of the last CURT installation. I even saved my old fishing wire from my previous one in case I ever needed it for something, but these bolts were smaller and it wouldn't thread them. Thankfully, I discovered that my arms are skinny enough to reach inside the rear bumper and insert the carriage bolts from behind without a wire. I don't think most people's arms would fit in there, though. The biggest negative, however, is that this hitch requires drilling into the metal rear bumper. Hopefully you have a good set of cobalt bits or something similar because a bumper is very hard metal and normal drill bits will not do the job. My last CURT hitch didn't require drilling so I had just assumed none of them did. Regardless, I have everything installed now and it's working out great. I'm still a loyal CURT customer, I just hope the next one at least comes with the tools that are mentioned in the instruction manual.UPDATE: I should add that I did not purchase this for towing. It is strictly only used for my Yakima DoubleDown bike rack. I am skeptical of the LS's towing abilities.
