1997 Ford Crown Victoria Questions & Answers

  • How much can I tow in a Ford Crown Victoria? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Ford Crown Victoria leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Crown Victoria, potentially causing transmission problems.
