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.

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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The only solution to carry your e-bike and e-trike with your 2016 Lincoln MKC is to use a trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6. I know this might not be ideal, but there are no bike racks or cargo carriers able to accommodate the size and weight of both. You will also need something like the Ratchet Tie Down Straps # ETBMB-05852 to secure them in the trailer. view full answer...
The Thule tire chains part # TH01571245 that you referenced have been confirmed to fit the tire size 245/45-19 that you referenced.
I confirmed this with Thule. The description will be updated. I attached an install video for these chains for you to check out as well.
You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any restrictions on tire chain usage as well. view full answer...
Curt trailer wiring harness # C56262 does require a direct connection to the battery on your 2017 Lincoln MKC. The battery will actually be powering the trailer lights and helps protect the vehicle wiring and electrical system.
The wiring harness comes with additional wire and connectors to run the power wire from the battery to the wiring harness converter. How the power wire is run is up to you. I have linked a help article with tips on routing the power wire.

In regards to the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118284 which is a fit for a 2017 Lincoln MKC, the green wire for the passenger side taillight will need to be connected to the violet/orange wire. If there are multiple wires with this color sequence then you'll have to test each to determine which is correct. If you probe the wires with a test light and apply the turn signal and or brake light, you'll be able to find the correct circuit. view full answer...
Yes, the hands-free liftgate on your 2017 Lincoln MKC will still work when the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75943 is installed.
It will be necessary for you to kick your foot on either side of the hitch receiver (the middle of the hitch) but you will not need to relocate or disable the sensor. I have added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a MKC for you to take a look at.
If you are going to be towing you can add wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you... view full answer...
The Hidden Hitch part # 75943 that you referenced would be 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. All of the hitches available will be just like this with only the hitch opening visible.
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... view full answer...
I attached a picture that shows what the Curt hitch part # C13194 would look like installed on your 2015 Lincoln MKC. As you can see in the picture the only portion of the hitch that will be visible when installed is the hitch opening hanging down.

I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79KR on your 2019 Lincoln MKC for use with the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR. It has a matte black finish that not only looks more rugged but actually offers better protection against road debris than the glossy black finish we see on the other hitches for your vehicle.
The EXO system is an excellent option because it's not only an excellent bike rack but it also gives you the ability to... view full answer...

The tow bar you need to tow your 2017 Lincoln MKC is going to depend on the baseplate you install/have installed. You can mix and match some brands but you'll likely need an adapter if so. All that being said the manual for your vehicle states that front wheel drive models can not be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground so you'll need to dolly tow instead with the front wheels off of the ground.
To do this you'll need the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093.... view full answer...
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,... view full answer...
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.

We do have trailer hitches that will fit your 2016 Lincoln MKC. I have included a link to all of the options for you. I recommend a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver such as # 75943. The 2 inch receivers are more robust and there are more accessory options available for it.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
For your 2016 Lincoln MKC we have the Wiring Kit part # C59496 which is a confirmed fit. To install this harness will require you to test the circuits of your taillight harnesses and then wire them appropriately to the wires of this kit. view full answer...
