Am I damaging my Crown Vic?
I bought a 18' Sea Pro center console fishing boat that weighs about 1600 pounds empty plus gear and trailer(two wheel trailer), so my question is am I damaging my 1995 Ford Crown Victoria LX with a 4.7L V8. I usually travel about an hours drive to the beach to go fishing and is turning off the over drive the right thing to do. The only other car I have is a 93' Buick Roadmaster with a 5.7L V8, I began towing the boat with this but it was in such bad condition I put a hitch on the Crown Vic a year ago to go to the Florida keys from central florida for fear of the buick breaking down. The Vic made it I'm just worried if I"ve been damaging it slowly. I have recently had problems with the front end, the steering ball joints but I am not sure that it is because of the trailering. Any help appriciated.
By turning off the over drive it will cause it to use more gas ,but if it's changing in and out of over drive when you pull the boat you need to keep it out of over drive ,so you don't burn the tranny up.I don't think your hurting your car by pulling the boat..You did'nt damage the ball joints by pulling the boat,ford has always had problems with there ball joints. That big o crown will take you any where you need to go, so roll on.
