Expert Answers about Lincoln MKX


  • Will the Glacier Cable Chains # PW2029C Give me Enough Clearance on My 2016 Lincoln MKX?
  • I have a really good tire chain solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Pewag (the makers of the tires) that the cables in # PW2029C have a thickness of 12.33mm. This will not give you the 10mm or less that you need for your 2016 Lincoln MKX's front 245/60-18 tires. However, the best option for a 10mm clearance requirement is the Konig Self-Tension, Low-Pro Snow Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - Easy Fit SUV # TH04115250. These particular chains only require 10mm of internal...

  • The Hayes Air Brake Control, # HA100400C, will work with the air brakes on your Alfa motor home and trailers with electric brakes, but not the 2008 Lincoln MKX (which would require a different type of braking system like the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Proportional Braking System, # RM-9400).

  • In order for you to install any of the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars, two person, part # Y07436, or three person, part # Y07437, on your 2017 Lincoln MKX it will need raised rails or rooftop tracks.

  • 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!

  • Do Yakima JetStream Crossbars Fit a 2015 Lincoln MKX with Panoramic Roof
  • Actually, the Yakima JetStream roof rack has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Lincoln MKX with the panoramic roof.

So use caution once you have the rack on our Lincoln. You need the 50 inch JetSreams # Y00425 in black. Along with the BaseLine towers, part # Y28TR, and BaseClips, part # Y06180.

  • Recommended Bike Rack to Carry 2 Bikes on a 2016 Lincoln MKX with a Sunroof
  • I do have a solution for to carry 2 bikes on your 2016 Lincoln MKX but we don't currently have any trunk mount racks to fit with the sunroof.
