Expert Answers about Lincoln MKX


  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C78KR Work With Hands Free Lift Gate Sensor On 2017 Lincoln MKX
  • The hands free lift gate sensor on your 2017 Lincoln MKX will still work after installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C78KR, but it will limit where your foot needs to be placed for the sensor to work. You will want to place your foot on either side of the receiver, and move it in and out until the sensor recognizes your foot. After doing this a few times it will become second nature on where to place your foot for the sensor to work. I included a video of the # C78KR being installed...

  • Troubleshooting Left Turn Signal on 2013 Lincoln MKX Not Working While Flat Towing
  • The first place you want to check is the connector on your motorhome. I'm not sure if you have a 4-Way or 7-Way connector but I have attached diagrams of each for you to reference. Simply use a circuit tester like part # PTW2979 to verify that the left turn pin is actually receiving power. If it isn't receiving power then you need to check for any fuses or relays on your motorhome that are related to the trailer left turn signal and make sure they are in good working order. If they are...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For Two Lectric XP 3.0 E-Bikes On A Flat Towed Vehicle
  • Based on the specs of the Lectric XP 3.0 and the fact that you'll be installing this on flat towed vehicle I have to recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y36FR. It has a 66lb per bike capacity to accommodate your 57lb bikes (never haul the bikes with the batteries installed, they should always be stored inside of the vehicle). The trays accommodate up to 3.25" wide tires so they'll work with your 3" wide tires. The padded clamps can easily adjust around to grip the...

  • Comparison of Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver vs Curt Hitch Receiver on 2018 Lincoln MKX
  • Either the Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver # 75234 or the Curt Hitch Receiver # C78KR would be a great addition for you 2018 Lincoln MKX. I recommend the Curt Hitch Receiver # C78KR as it offers the same maximum Tongue Weight (TW) rating at 675lbs, and Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) rating of 4500lbs. In my experience the powder coat finish the Curt uses is more durable and less likely to chip or scratch, and the Curt Hitch Receiver # C78KR is also made in the USA.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Lincoln MKX
  • The owners manual for a vehicle is the final authority on whether it can be flat towed. If it does not make any mention of the steering wheel lock you'd most likely be able to assume that it's fine and you'd not need to worry about it. You can test this by turning the wheel of the vehicle. If it's not locked you're fine as-is. If it is locked you may have to put the ignition in ACC mode which on a push to start vehicle requires pressing the start button without your foot on the brake. For...

  • Wrong Size Fitting for a BrakeSync System and a Demco Air Force One
  • Glad you got it all set up but that's interesting your Rambler's fitting is a different size. The Demco Air Force One item # DM23MV you purchased is specifically designed for the factory BrakeSync fittings. I don't know if yours got swapped out by a previous owner or what and I have no idea what size it is. The easiest way to correct this would be to swap the fitting out on your RV. I recommend taking the Air Hose item # DM97ZR to your local hardware store and matching the male fitting...

  • Availability of a 4-Flat and 5-Flat Wiring Harness to Power an Air Compressor on a Trailer

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2017 Lincoln MKX
  • We do! I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36RR for your 2017 Lincoln MKX because it has a matte black finish that looks better and blends in more with any black trim on your vehicle. This has a hidden crosstube so only the receiver will be seen as you can see in the linked video and photo on a 2017 Ford Edge. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I'd be more than happy to make some additional recommendations for you!
