How to install a tow hitch and create a Crown Vic F150

You've seen my 2008 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor P71 with a tow hitch, but I installed that before I created this channel. In this video I do a detailed step by step installation of the same tow hitch on my 2010 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor P7B and show some older footage of me towing with my '08.
