Expert Answers about Lincoln MKZ


  • Smallest Opening Needed for 30 Amp Power Inlet
  • The best option we have for you to install a power inlet inside an existing opening is with the Furrion 30 Amp Power Inlet part # 431861 which requires a 2-1/2" hole. The standard opening size for a power inlet in 2-7/8" so the above is a great option for a smaller opening. Unfortunately, we do not have any power inlets that install into a 2" hole which is very small. That said, it would be very easy to open your existing hole up another 1/2" so the Furrion 30 Amp Power Inlet is an excellent...

  • How Can I Carry Skis On My 2017 Lincoln MKZ With A Panoramic Roof
  • Unfortunately, we do not have a roof rack option for your 2017 Lincoln MKZ with the panoramic roof. However, if you have a hitch receiver you do have another option. If you combine the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting, part # Y02458, and the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier for Hitch Bike Racks - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards, part # Y02418, you will have a ski rack that is compatible with 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. You will be able to carry up to...

  • Can a 2009 Lincoln MKZ Pull a Pop-Up Camper
  • In order to tow a trailer with a 2009 Lincoln MKZ you'll need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. I will attach a list below with each of these options. In regards to capacity and compatibility, you'll have to refer to your copy of the owner's manual for this which should be located in the glove box. We cannot recommend deviating from the manufactures instructions. Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11329 Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2015 Lincoln MKX with Spoiler
  • For your 2015 Lincoln MKX with spoiler, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers # HRF2-3. This bike carrier is specifically designed for and works very well for applications like yours. Along with this rack, I recommend the # e98891 cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack and # TH533 to secure the rack to your locked hatch. I also recommend the adapter bar # 64005 for any step through frames and the front tire loops # SR54FR to keep the tire...

  • Powered Double Step for 1999 Georgia Boy Sun Voyager
  • The Kwikee 32 Series Electric RV Steps # LC372261 would be a really great choice for a powered double step for your 199 Georgia Boy Sun Voyager. This would put a second step down lower which will make it easier to get in and out of than the single step you have now. I attached a picture that shows how it would look on a similar RV as yours for you to check out as well. I also attached a review video link for these steps for you to check out as well.

  • I have linked the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24897 below that lists the Torque Specs for the installation hardware. You will need a torque wrench that is capable of at least 55ft-lbs like the # PT87ZR to properly torque the hardware.

  • Recommended 3-Bike Carrier for 2012 Lincoln MKZ
  • The folks at Hollywood Racks originally determined their trunk-mount Express 3 Bike Rack # HRE3 was a good match to the 2012 Lincoln MKZ but later determined (based on customer feedback) that it was not a good fit. At this point they do not recommend that rack on your car. I confirmed this with their Fit Guide. In fact they recommend no trunk-mount racks for your MKZ due to the potential for the weight of the bikes to damage the trunk lid and/or hinge. We will update our fit guide to reflect...

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier and Cargo Bag Recommendation for a 2013 Lincoln MKZ with 2 in Hitch
  • If you have a 2 inch hitch on your 2013 Lincoln MKZ and the distance from the center of the hitch pin to the furthest point out on the rear bumper is less than 6 inches then the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 that you referenced would work on your vehicle. Now for a weather proof bag that would fit well on this cargo carrier I would recommend the etrailer Cargo Bag part # e98990. For a theft deterrent you could use the Cable Lock for Rightline Cargo Bags part # RL100640. To secure...

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring Kit For A 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  • When it comes to installing the tow bar wiring on your 2017 Lincoln MKZ The Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7 is the correct kit you would need. This kit is for a RV with a 7 round adapter and will make the Lincoln MKZ mirror the turn, stop and tail lights of the motor home. If your motorhome has a 4 flat connector you would need The Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154. The # C56258 is used...

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Flat-Towed Vehicle
  • You are completely correct in your reasoning and we aren't sure why more bike rack manufacturers give the green light for flat towed vehicles. The good news is that more bike rack manufacturers are getting comfortable giving their racks the stamp of approval for flat-towed vehicles. For your application I recommend picking up the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU74FR which carries 2 bikes, fits with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, and has a unique U-Shaped frame that makes it easier to load...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2020 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid w/ Adaptive Cruise Control
  • I can definitely help you out with that. In addition to the tow bar, brakes and lights, you will also need a base plate kit and safety cables. I have listed these parts out for you below, along with a brief description of their purpose. Base Plate Kit: This is a custom fit part that provides the attachment point for the tow bar on your MKZ Hybrid. - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2674 Tow Bar: This is what will come from the motor home and attach to the base plate kit. - Blue Ox Alpha 2...

  • 2-1/2 Inch Weight Distribution Shank Option For A Ford F-350
  • Yes, you can use a different branded weight distribution shank with your Equal-i-Zer WDS! Since your Ford F-350 has a 2-1/2" receiver, and you're wanting to stick with Equal-i-Zer if possible, take a look at: -The Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4900. This shank has a maximum rise of 10", a maximum drop of 6", a maximum towing capacity of 16,000lbs, and can be used with a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitch.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2015 Lincoln MKZ
  • For your 2015 Lincoln MKZ, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24897. Unlike the Curt model that is also confirmed to fit your vehicle, the installation of this hitch will allow you to trim and reinstall the underbody panel/fascia for accommodation with the hitch receiver and crosstube. On the Curt model, this panel is completely removed and cannot be reinstalled. This Class I hitch will use existing holes in your Lincoln's frame for a no-drill installation....

  • Hitch and Roof Cargo Carrying Options for 2008 Lincoln MKZ
  • Good for you for checking out your car's capabilities before you use it to tow. Not everyone does that! Lincoln includes the following statement on page 176 of their online owner's manual for your 2008 MKZ: "Never tow a trailer with this vehicle. Your vehicle is not equipped to tow." All is not lost, as there are still several ways to transport your cargo items on the MKZ; it just won't be with a trailer. If you were to install Curt Class I hitch # C11329 on the MKZ you could use a Class...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2019 Lincoln MKZ
  • Yes, if you filter through our fitguide system for your 2019 Lincoln MKZ you'll see what roof rack options will fit your vehicle. While we do have a roof rack fit for your 2019 MKZ, the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # SR1003 does not fall into that category. In fact, it looks like SportRack doesn't have this listed as a fit for any Lincoln model out there. For your application I recommend checking out the Yakima CoreBar roof rack as it has a simple yet attractive design...

  • Troubleshooting No Brake Lights on Curt C56258 Harness on 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  • It sounds like you're not getting a signal on the brake light circuit anywhere on the plug of the Curt # C56258 and there are a few things you can check out here. I would start by just making sure that the ground wire is secured to a paint and rust free spot on the vehicle's frame; this all could just be a situation where the ground isn't sufficient to power the brake lights. Next, you'll want to start testing out the wiring behind the harness on the Curt # C56258 and then where it plugs...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Option For 2019 Lincoln MKZ With 3.0L Engine
  • Possibly; if your 2019 Lincoln MKZ with the 3.0L engine has FRONT wheel drive then there is an option, from Curt: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12091 If your MKZ has the 3.0L engine and ALL wheel drive then the # C12091 won't fit; I verified this directly with Curt for you.

  • Trailer Hitch and 4 Bike Carrying Recommendation for 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  • The Curt # C11329 is indeed a fit for your 2009 Lincoln MKZ. This would work great for you. You can use an adapter like # HTAD, but there's 2 problems with doing that. Both the hitch and bike rack manufacturers state that no more than 2 bikes should be carried in a bike rack used in a Class I hitch. Adding a 3rd and 4th bike moves too much weight too far away from the hitch receiver tube which can apply enough leverage to damage the hitch or cause the attachment points to the vehicle...

  • Does Saris Bones 2 SA805BL Fit 2015 Lincoln MKZ
  • For your 2015 Lincoln MKZ the Saris Bones part # SA805BL is a confirmed fit. As long as you keep the vehicle paint very clean and the mounting pads of the rack as clean as possible the bike rack will not damage the vehicle. You also need to be sure not to exceed the weight capacity of the rack which is 30 lbs per bike. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01...
