Expert Answers about Lincoln MKT


  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Lincoln MKT
  • The Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75679, will indeed fit the 2012 Lincoln MKT. The fact that the vehicle has left and right side dual exhaust is covered in the instructions which I have linked for you to view. The hitch cross tubing and receiver will be visible below the rear fascia of the vehicle once installed. I have also included a link to a video that shows a typical installation for you. I also recommend the etrailer ball mount kit, # 989900, which comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls,...

  • Can Trailer Wiring Harness Power Wire be Ran through Firewall on a 2010 Lincoln MKT
  • If there isn't an easily accessible point of entry into the engine compartment through the firewall on your 2010 Lincoln MKT then you will need to drill a small hole to run the wiring harness power wire. There are a couple of things to be aware of. First, be careful that the other side of the firewall is clear. And second after making the hole and route the wire through it be sure to seal it up with silicone such as # LT37464.

  • Plug and Play Trailer Wiring Harness Fit for 2015 Lincoln MKT.
  • I checked with Curt and the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56095 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2015 Lincoln MKT. This wiring harness will plug in behind your vehicle's taillights to provide stop, turn, and tail light signals for the trailer wiring. The harness features a powered converter so that the trailer taillights do not pull power from your vehicle's light circuits, so the power wire will need to be routed to the vehicle's battery. I have linked the installation...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2015 Lincoln MKT
  • A powered module is required to safeguard the vehicle's wiring and support the trailer lights. On your 2015 Lincoln MKT you have a combined wiring system, which means the brake and turn signal are sent on the same wire. The MKT also has light-gauge wiring because of the LED lights. I recommend the # C59496 for your vehicle.

  • Will etrailer e52AR Trailer Hitch Fit 2010 Lincoln MKT without EcoBoost?
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" Item # e52AR you referenced will fit the 2010 Lincoln MKT both with EcoBoost, so it will not work for you on your MKT. Instead, you would want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13000. I have attached the installation instructions for the hitch for you. If you are interested in towing a trailer with your MKT, you will also want a wiring harness, like the Curt T-Connector...

  • Trailer Wiring and Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Lincoln MKT
  • I checked with Curt and the T-Connector Harness part # C56095 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2013 Lincoln MKT. For trailer wiring this is all that you would need. If you are in need of a hitch as well, you would want the Hidden Hitch part # 87571. I attached an install video for you to check out. For a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip, I would recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, part # 989900. This is a kit which includes 2 ball mounts, a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch...

  • Which Roadmaster Tow Defender Will I Need For My 2015 Lincoln MKT?
  • To determine what Roadmaster Tow Defender to use on your 2015 Lincoln MKT you will need to first determine what Roadmaster base plate you are using. For the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524439-4 you will need the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4700. This will only work with the Roadmaster crossbar style base plates. A Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 can also be added with this Tow Defender for the ultimate front end protection. For the Roadmaster...

  • Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2 Kayaks on a 2010 Lincoln MKT
  • In addition to installing the Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack, parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK341 on your 2010 Lincoln MKT I recommend using the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512. Initially this carrier is just for 1 kayak, but if you use the Extension Arms # RRS512X you will be able to load a second kayak using this carrier.

  • Flat Towing
  • Vehicles with a digital odometer will not keep track of mileage when flat towing. Older model vehicles with mechanical odometers run off of gears so even when there's no power it'll still track mileage unlike the digital odometers that when the power is cut will not work. You'll want to follow exactly what your owner's manual says for Recreational/Flat Towing to avoid damaging your vehicle. I've attached a pic of a generic 2014 Lincoln manual but you'll want to see what your specific...

  • Wiring a 2012 Lincoln MKT For Flat Towing
  • For wiring your MKT for flat towing, you have a few different options. The simplest option would be a magnetic mount lamp kit like part # RM-2120. The plus for a system like this is that it's very easy to install and remove, although some folks don't care for the exposed wires. A second option would be a bulb and socket kit like part # RM-155. Installation involves drilling 1 inch diameter holes in the rear of the taillight assemblies, but no splicing into the vehicle wiring in necessary,...

  • Installing 4-Pole Trailer Connector Versus 7-Way Connector for 2011 Lincoln MKT
  • The 4-pole trailer connector provides power for the trailer lighting circuits only, right turn, left turn, brake lamp and running lamp. The 7-way provides those, plus voltage for electric brakes, reverse lamps a 12-volt accessory power feed to the trailer. In a nutshell, if the trailer you're wanting to tow does NOT have electric brakes, it'll likely have a 4-pole. Larger trailers would usually have electric brakes, and would use a 7-way trailer connector. If your MKT has the tow package,...

  • Is a Powered Tail Light Converter Needed for Trailer Wiring Harness On a 2014 Lincoln MKT
  • Yes, the trailer wiring harness options for a 2014 Lincoln MKT will have a powered converter as the vehicle's taillights aren't sufficient enough to power both sets of tail lights, the trailer and vehicle. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56095 is a great splice free option that I recommend.

  • Which Curt Hitch Fits 2013 Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost Engine
  • We have a Curt hitch that fits your 2013 Lincoln MKT with the EcoBoost engine with the part # C13110 but the # C13000 that you referenced only fits the models without the EcoBoost engine. The big difference is the driver side crosstube of the # C13110 which is designed to fit around the exhaust of the EcoBoost engines.

  • Mounting a Roof Box to a 2016 Lincoln MKT
  • For all roof boxes like the Thule Force XT XXL, part # TH6359B, you'll need a roof rack to mount the box to. For your 2016 Lincoln MKT, I recommend an all-in-one kit like the Rhino Rack, part # RR58GR. To fit a roof box you'll need to make sure of two measurements, the crossbar spread and the front clearance. The crossbar spread is the measurement from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. For the Rhino Rack kit, its 29.53 inches. The front clearance is the measurement...

  • Recommended Platform Style Bike Rack Convertible Between 2-4 Bikes for 2012 Lincoln MKT
  • When we installed a Class III hitch on a Ford Flex, we found that the distance between the hitch pin hole and the farthest rearward point of the bumper was right about 3 inches. This dimension on your MKT should be similar. This means that the bike rack you choose would need to have a shank whose hitch pin hole to closest portion of the rack dimension is greater than 3 inches. If you don't already have a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III receiver, part # C13110. I've linked to an...

  • Wiring Brake Controller and 7-Way to 2013 Lincoln MKT
  • We have a way to install a 7-way on your 2013 Lincoln MKT but there isn't a way to tie into any factory wiring. What you'd need to start with a custom fit 4-way part # C56095 and then convert that to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7 which also comes with everything needed to wire up a brake controller as well. Then for a brake controller the P2 # 90885 would work really well. If you can verify the brake controller wiring is active you can use some of the circuits there. Red wire of controller...

  • Will XL Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin Work on a 2 Inch Hitch?
  • The # SHP2040-XL can be used on a 2" hitch; in fact the linked demonstration video shows it being used in a 2" hitch though it should be noted that it has an overall length of 6-3/4" and an inside pin length nearly 1 inch longer than the # 63232 so it will stick out on the side of your hitch like in the attached photo. It is also recommended you use Loctite Anti-Seize Stick # LT37616 to lubricate the threads before use. I have added a pair of reviews on this hitch lock for you to take...

  • Trailer Hitch for the 2019 Lincoln MKT EcoBoost
  • We do not carry a Reciever hitch for the 2019 Lincoln MKT. I'm unsure of the reasoning behind this. You will have to check with the dealer about a fitment. I can help you with wiring using the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56095 will work for the vehicle. It provides a 4-way flat trailer connector for you to use for any trailers or lit cargo carriers.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2013 Lincoln MKT
  • In an AWD vehicle, you may use one or two sets of chains. Since the owner's manual doesn't specify which axle the chains should be on if you're going with one set only, I'd recommend putting them on the front wheels because you'll want your steering axle to have the best traction possible. For some vehicles, turning off the traction control when using chains might be necessary, see the owner's manual for details. Since your owner's manual specifically mentions that chains should not be...
