When pulling a trailer, the termp gauge reads right between the normal line and the "H." Otherwise, it reads somewhere near the middle of the normal range. The clutch fan seems to be working fine. Thanks.

RECHECK FAn Clutch ... should turn very stiff by hand right after shutoff.
Thanks. I see my 95 Town Car has an electric fan in front of the clutch fan. Is there a way to add this to the E150 and a 94 Crown Vic? Also, should the clutch fan be stiff when hot? Can they be bad even if no clutch fluid leak is detected?

They can be added if you know how to wire them and can fabricate mounts. Remember, the TC fan is a "pusher" fan. Fans on most other cars are mounted behind the radiator and are "pullers". You cannot take a "puller" and mount it in front of the radiator.
Fan clutches get weak over time. If it is over 5-6 years pld, replace it with an OEM part or an AC Delco aftermarket part. Other aftermarket fan clutches (Four Seasons, Airco, etc.) are usually little better than the worn out original.
how old is this thing? prolly rad is on the "verge" i would get a new rad
