Lincoln Corsair Braked Vs. Unbraked Towing Capacity

All vehicles have different towing capacities based on whether or not you’re towing a trailer that has trailer brakes installed.

Trailer brakes allow the trailer to stop faster than if only the vehicle is using its brakes, allowing the vehicle to tow more weight, so braked towing capacity will always be higher than unbraked towing capacity.

Lincoln Corsair Braked Towing Capacity: 3,000 lbs.

Lincoln Corsair Unbraked Towing Capacity: 1,500 lbs.

Lincoln Corsair Towing Capacity Factors

There are a few factors that affect the Lincoln Corsair tow capacity.

Towing Equipment Installed

You needed a towing package installed to get the 3,000 lb max towing capacity from your Corsair.

If you didn’t have a tow package installed, the capacity for towing caps out at 2,000 lbs.

Number of Passengers

A big factor in calculating your vehicle’s towing capacity is how many passengers you’re carrying, which directly calculates into the vehicle’s GCWR.

This is true of all vehicles, not just the Lincoln Corsair, so always take into consideration the total load of your passengers and gear in addition to what you’re towing.

Lincoln Corsair Trailer Hitch Installation Cost

If you’re considering having a tow hitch added to your Corsair, expect to pay between $100 and $200 to have a tow package professionally installed (excluding the cost of the tow hitch and wiring harness).

If you’re handy and looking to save money, you can install the trailer hitch and wiring harness yourself.

Hitch Receiver Vs Rear Step Bumper Towing

Some vehicles allow for bumper towing, which means you can mount a tow hitch ball directly on the bumper instead of installing a tow hitch to the vehicle’s frame.

Can I Bumper Tow With a Lincoln Corsair?

The Lincoln Corsair stock bumper is not rated for bumper towing, so you’ll need to install a frame-mounted hitch like the one we listed earlier in this guide or an aftermarket bumper with a hitch ball on it.

Does My Lincoln Corsair Have A Tow Package?

The Lincoln Corsair can tow up to 3,000 pounds.

You can start by looking under the rear bumper of your Corsair to see if you notice a trailer hitch or trailer ball.

That will give you a good indication of if you have a tow hitch already installed on your Corsair.

Another way to research this is by checking the paperwork that came with your vehicle or taking it to a local dealer to see what’s installed.

Make sure to have your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) handy if you call the dealer so they can look up the exact specs and whether or not your vehicle has any towing packages or features installed on it.
