You are in the Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Grand Marquis Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| I have a '95 HPP, which has the gear ratio of the tow package, the air suspension of the tow package, but doesn't have the 5000 lb rating. I installed a tranny oil cooler on it and a class IV hitch. When I hooked up my 2500 lb plus trailer to it, I could barely tell the trailer was there under normal acceleration. I can't see the '98+ CVs having a weaker suspension than the '95s. Cops still use them to jump curbs, and still put them through all sorts of cr*p, and there has been no record of rear suspension failure. | |

Missing Horn! I have a '96 Crown Vi ex police car. When I bought it, it didn't have a horn! Where would I be able to find the place in the engine compartment where it can be found and to be able to hook it back up? |
|
| Can someone kindly tell me what would be the real world gas mileage for a 2000 CV ? | |
|
I doubt there is much reason to believe your mileage will be much different than what I get with a '93 Marquis which is: 25 MPG at 65 MPH on the interstate. 22 MPG at 72 MPH on the interstate. 17-19 MPG in urban driving (35-55 MPH with some stop lights and stop signs) with easy acceleration and deceleration. 11 MPG towing a 3500 lb boat and trailer at 65-72 MPH. |
|
| 427435: Do you tow the boat while in Overdrive? Our 94 T/C Touring gets the same mpg, but when towing the boat, speed is 60 or under. | |
| I used to get 26-27 mpg on my Marquis '95 on regular gas, long (>1000 miles) interstate trips at ~70mph (airconditioner mostly on), with octane 93 it was 27-28. This year I hardly exceeded 24 mpg, maybe because of really old air filter (I didn't change oil myself for more than a year and forgot about it). Maybe it's aging? But I never had problem with car, unless you count faulty tape player which was replaced under warranty. On the other hand this time I went far south and speed was much higher, I would say 75-80-90 and even 100. | |
| kinley: If I'm on mostly level highway, I leave it in O/D. In even modest hills, it will do lots of shifting---so then I'll lock out the O/D. My car has the MPG readout (which is suprisingily accurate)and the mileage is better on the level in O/D as you would expect | |

Hi folks, Now that we have moved to our new platform, we no longer have the requirement to stop and restart discussions after the numbers of posts exceed a certain limit. To keep from confusing our newer members down the road, we are going through the discussion list bit by bit and dropping the "part" numbers associated with some of our extended discussions. Since this will be the permanent home for discussion of these vehicles, I have removed the "2" from the title of this discussion and altered the archived version to distinguish it from this one. Please continue.... Pat Host Sedans and Women's Auto Center Message Boards |

| Does anyone know if the relatively cool 16" 5 spoke alum wheels available on 2000/2001 Taurus' will fit my 97 CV with the handling/perf pkg (w/16" lacy alum wheels)? I'm not sure if the lug pattern is the same or the offset, etc. Thanks. | |
