I need to put a Class II trailer hitch on my 2002 Conti.
Some of the "hitch" people I've talked to say a Taurus/Sable hitch will fit but another fellow who has been doing it for years says a Cougar hitch will ft? Many times when these people go to their reference charts the Conti's stop around 94 and under the year 2002 nothing is listed for Contis. I am assuming that the LS Frame is NOT the same? I believe these hitches do not need drilling and are made to fit the vehicle? ALSO, many are saying I need a "Modulite". Something that makes the computer ignore the extra draw from the trailer lights (although if I had them, I would imagine LED lights wouldn't draw very much)? I know I didn't use a Modulite on my 1995 Grand Marquis (digital dash) and I never had a problem but the Conti may be different with the electronic suspension and all that?
So what's the verdict?
1) Taurus/Sable or Cougar Hitch?
2) Modulite yes/no?
3) LS architecture not compatible yes/no?
4) Any other suggestions?
