The rubber pads on the Thule Passage, part # TH910XT are designed to protect the vehicle finish but you will want to make sure your 2016 MKZ does not have anything that would mar the finish when the bike carrier is installed. We do recommend adding a coat of car wax to the areas where the bike carrier touches to make sure it does not scuff the paint surface.
I recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV for your Lincoln. This carrier uses 2 rubber coated straps to secure the rack to the... view full answer...
For an aero bar roof rack that is available for your 2011 Lincoln MKZ that rivals the quality of Yakima racks and is priced better I would highly recommend the Inno Aero Bar roof rack part numbers # INXB123-130, # INXS250, and # INK546. This would be your best option for a rack that's ready to go! view full answer...
For your 2018 Lincoln MKZ the best hitch is the Curt Class II part # C12091. I recommend this hitch because it is made in the US, has a concealed crosstube which makes it less visible, and because it has highest capacity. view full answer...
There is a possibility that you can use your Reese Q-Slot PS63138 with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12091 on your 2016 Lincoln MKZ. However, the adapter you need, Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # C45785 will reduce you weight capacity by 50%. Therefore, the total weight of your four bikes cannot exceed 109 lbs. If they do not then you can use the Reese Q-Slot but you will also need the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap part # 18050 to abide by Curt's warranty for the... view full answer...
While the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack # Y02637 is a solid option for a trunk mounted bike rack, and it does fit your 2017 Lincoln MKZ, it wouldn't be considered the best. It's a good value, but there is a similar one I recommend considering that has a number of advantages, from Thule:
- Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR
There are a few reasons I recommend the Gateway Pro # TH88VR over the HangOut # Y02637, starting with the superior strap system that holds your bikes. The HangOut... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # C45785 will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50% according to the manufacturer. This same statement holds true for pretty much any other hitch adapter like this no matter the manufacturer. The reason that this will reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50% but a ball mount will not has to do with a supported vs non-supported load.
If you were to place a bike rack on the rear of the vehicle using a hitch adapter, the... view full answer...

The roof rack I recommend for a 2017 Lincoln MKZ is the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System which consist of part # Y00425, part # Y28TR, part # Y06110, and part # Y06102. This is an aero bar system which works great with most wrap-around style rooftop mounted accessories but can also be used with channel mounted accessories due to the integrated channels. The aero bar design also makes for the least amount of wind noise and best possible mpg's.
Please note, modes with panoramic roofs are... view full answer...
I would recommend you go with a Class II hitch over a Class I hitch. The capacities will be higher and more hitch accessory options will be available. For example, with a Class I hitch you can only carry up to 2 bikes, whereas with a Class II you can carry up to 4. I attached a help article that covers the differences between hitch classes for you to check out as well.
For a hitch I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C12091. This is a Class II hitch that would work well towing a trailer... view full answer...
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 Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier # TH665C has internal measurements of 48-1/2" long x 23-1/3" high x 24-1/2" wide and the cooler you mentioned looks to have dimensions of 43.20" long x 19.20" high x 19.20" wide so it will definitely fit. I don't have any specific coolers that I know will fit but you can use the internal measurements I mentioned to determine if any other coolers you're looking into can fit or not. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
The tires on the Yakima Rack and Roll trailers # Y08106 and # Y08107 are indeed specified for inflation pressure of 40-psi. To lose about half that pressure after a year-and-a-half of storage is not at all surprising, but for the two tires that lost all of their pressure I suggest some further testing before you embark on your 2400-mile trip.
You did the right thing by inflating all three tires to the specified 40-psi pressure so you can keep an eye on them for a few days. If they hold... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
As long as you have a factory roof rack with crossbars that run from left to right on your 2013 Lincoln MKZ you could use the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512 you referenced. You do need to consult the owners manual of your vehicle to be certain you do no exceed any weight limits or other restrictions by using a kayak carrier. Especially if you have the glass roof model MKZ's.
If you do not have a factory roof rack with crossbars I do not have an option for you as none of the roof... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Yes, it will. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack item # KU64FR is confirmed to fit both class I and II 1-1/4" hitch receivers. It only weighs 26 lbs and has a 60 lbs capacity. view full answer...
I went ahead and checked to see what we have for you, and the closest I was able to get to what you're needing is the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL.
This bike rack will mount to the trunk of your 2020 Lincoln MKZ and will allow you to transport up to two bikes weighing 35-lbs each. Theoretically, if there is a way to shed 10-lbs per bike this could work, but I understand that's a tall order.
Instead, the best option for your situation is to install a trailer hitch # C12091 if one... view full answer...
Your 2014 Lincoln MKZ can be fitted with two classes of 1-1/4-inch hitch, either a light-duty Class I type like the # 24897 that you referenced, or a higher-capacity Class II type, Curt hitch # C12091. In order to transport your cargo items I suggest the higher-capacity Class II hitch.
This Curt hitch has a 350-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity. TW is the downward force on the hitch from what is attached to it. You can transport your cargo on this hitch as long as the combined weight of the... view full answer...
A class II trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12091 is a far better option to use on your 2016 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid even for carrying bikes with a hitch mounted bike rack. The reason for this is that it can 1) allow you to carry more bikes if needed and 2) allows for a greater amount of hitch mounted bike racks to be chosen from. The maximum number of bikes you can carry no matter their weight on a class I trailer hitch is two and there are a lot of bike racks that are... view full answer...
