• Recommended Ski and Snowboard Carrier for a 2015 Lincoln MKC With a Panoramic Sunroof
• The only crossbars that'll work with your 2015 Lincoln MKC, is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. These crossbars measure 48" long and has a max weight capacity of 150 lbs. You could always install a hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75943 if you don't have one already and use the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter for Hitch Bike Racks # TH9033 for the Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # TH934XTR.

• Recommended Bike Rack for Trek Verve +2 and Lectric XP Electric Bikes
• The Thule # TH903202 EasyFold bike rack you'd looked at would actually be the perfect choice for your bikes. I've looked up the specs of both your bikes, and both would come in under the 65 lb per bike capacity of the Easy Fold. The only other thing you'd need to do is add the separately available fat bike tire strap, part # TH985101 to handle the thicker tires on the Lectric XP bike. The rack would hold both bikes by either the top tube for the Verve + or the seat post tube for the...

• Which Ballmount for Curt C13194 Class III Hitch on 2019 Lincoln MKC
• When we installed the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13194 on a Lincoln MKC, we found that the inside top edge of the receiver sat 12-1/2 inches above the ground. The the bottom edge of your boat trailer sits at 16 inches with the trailer level, you'll want to use a ball mount with a rise to raise the trailer ball by about 4 inches. That way, once the trailer is hitches up, the rear of the vehicle will squat a bit which will place the trailer very close to level. I'd recommend the Curt...

• Is Scraping an Issue with the Draw-Tite Hitch Part # 75943 on a 2016 Lincoln MKC
• The distance from the ground to the top of the inside edge of the receiver tube on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75943 while installed on a 2016 Lincoln MKC is 13".

• Where Is the Factory Plug Location for a 4-Way Trailer Harness On a 2019 Lincoln MKC
• So I did some research and it turns out that the harness you're looking for, to plug in your Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # HM11140694 is located inside the cargo area behind the closest trim panel to the liftgate on the driver side. You're going to need a trim remover tool to pry and remove the rear panel. From here, you'll be able to spot the harness and can continue with the install.

• Does Draw Tite Hitch 75943 Fit 2016 Lincon MKC And Allow Handsfree Liftgate to Function
• Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75943 is a great choice for your 2016 Lincoln MKC. This hitch has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and only the hitch opening will be visible since the cross tube will be behind the rear fascia. The foot activation of your rear lift gate would still work, but you would need to go to either side of the hitch opening so that the sensor will pick up the movement. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900....

• Recommended Trike Rack for a 2019 Lincoln MKC
• I have a great option for you to transport your JC26X tadpole-style recumbent trike, but I do not recommend using the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041. Setting aside the potential issue of ground clearance hitch height with your hitch, the Softride Hang2 requires front handlebars to mount to the clamps at the top. Since we have not fitted a recumbent-style bike on the clamps there is no way to confirm whether the clamps will adequately secure at any point of...

• Hitch Installation Effects on Hands-Free Lift Gate Feature on 2018 Lincoln MKC
• A factory-installed hands-free lift gate feature will still function after you install an aftermarket hitch but often just the center-positioned sensor will not function. However, the other sensors near the corners of the vehicle will still operate normally. So in practical terms you'll just need to swing your foot near to one of the outside sensors to trigger the lift gate feature. This will be the case for either of the hitch types offered for your 2018 Lincoln MKC, both the 1-1/4-inch...

• Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 Lincoln MKC Towing a Boat Trailer with 5-Way Connector
• Since your 2015 Lincoln MKC didn't come with the factory tow package you need the Tekonsha T-One # 118284 for the basic trailer light functions. Then typically when a boat trailer has a 5-Way wiring harness that means it has a hydraulic actuator with an electric lockout. If this is the case then all you need to complete your wiring is the Tow Ready # 20036. This plugs into your 4-Way and then includes an extra wire that you connect to your reverse wire. If you still wanted to install a...

• Trailer Wiring Harness Compatible With 2017 Lincoln MKC Without Factory Tow Package
• If you don't have the factory tow package on your 2017 Lincoln MKC then you won't have the harness connector for the # HM11140694. Instead you will use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118284 for your trailer wiring. This will connect to your factory wiring in the rear cargo area and will draw power directly from the vehicle battery to protect your vehicle electronics. I've attached an article to help with routing the power wire. If you don't already...

• Does Installation of Trailer Hitch on 2015 Lincoln MKC Interfere With Hands-Free Liftgate
• The hands-free liftgate sensors you are referring to on your 2015 Lincoln MKC will still function after you install the Curt # C13194 trailer hitch. What you will likely have to do is simply kick your leg to the side of the hitch receiver instead of the center, but it will still work to open your tailgate. I have added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a MKC for you to take a look at as well.

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Lincoln MKC
• Both the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118284 and the Curt T-Connector Harness # C56262 referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2017 Lincoln MKC. Both harnesses will install the same way, by connecting to built-in ports in the rear cargo area behind the driver's and passenger's side, and then running the hot lead up to the vehicle battery. This will give you a 4-Way connector that will connect with and power a trailer's basic signal lights. Between the two harnesses,...

• How To Carry a Pedego Tandem E-Bike With a 2019 Lincoln MKC
• Due to the weight(75lbs) and length(102.5" with 75.5" wheelbase) of your Pedego Tandem E-Bike we do not have a way to carry it on your 2019 Lincoln MKC. The Thule Tandem Roof Mounted Bike Rack # TH558P you found is only rated for up to 55lbs. You would need to have a small Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7 you can tow behind your MKC. It would require you to have a our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79KR and T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118284 to connect the trailer lighting. You will then...

• Will Foot Operated Lift Gate Still Function When Trailer Hitch is Installed
• The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Lincoln MKC is the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75943. I confirmed with my contact at Draw-Tite that the hitch will still allow you to operate the liftgate with the foot control. You may need to be more animated with the foot motion to operate the liftgate, and it is best to move to the left or right of the hitch receiver for the vehicle to pick up the motion. The # 75943 hitch offers a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver with...

• Recommended Bike Carrying Solutions for Heavier Bikes on a 2015 Lincoln MKC
• We do have several solutions for carrying bikes that are a little heavier, but these solutions would involve using a hitch mounted bike rack. Due to the way trunk mounted bike racks are attached to the vehicle, the weights of the bikes must be limited to a maximum of 35 lbs (30 lbs for the Yakima # Y02638 HangOut you looked at). Exceeding that weight would either damage the vehicle, cause the rack to come loose from the vehicle, or both. Which would be very bad. Because of that and the...
