The 07 has a different rear suspension than the earlier town cars. They lowered the rating then, prior to that it was 5000lbs.
I highly doubt that any Panther ever had a 5000 lb tow rating !
I found a 2004 Ford Towing Guide. It said maximum tow was 1500 lbs and the recommended an aftermarket transmission cooler. I'll bet the Police Interceptor model had a upgrade radiator.
Anything over 2000 lbs, I would want a weight distribution hitch and electric brakes. I would also add rear air spring (bags) and the best shocks you can find.
