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...

  • Can Yakima ReelDeal Fishing Rod Carrier Mount in T-Slots
  • The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles # Y04089 can only clamp around crossbars so it won't be able to install in the T-slots of your rack. There is an option for a carrier that installs in the T-slots with the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Rods # RR574F.

  • Recommended Parts for Flat Towing a 2013 Lincoln MKX
  • The first thing that we will want to look at for your 2013 Lincoln MKX is a base plate kit so that we can attach the tow bar to your Lincoln.

The tow bar that I recommend for your setup is the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380. This tow bar has a weight capacity of 6,500 lbs and includes the safety cables...

  • 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!

  • The only trailer hitch receivers we have for your 2017 Lincoln MKX hang down below the bumper like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75234 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C78KR.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2017 Lincoln MKX
  • Baseplate installs typically take the better part of a day to complete as you're typically pulling the entire fascia/bumper off and most of the time doing quite a bit of drilling or trimming to get a baseplate like the # BX2673 installed. We typically schedule a full day for baseplates because things don't always want to run smoothly. Your motorhome should have a 7-way on the back of it, if not then you'll need part # ETBC7 and some additional wire # 10-2-1 to run up to the front of the...

  • Will Hayes Air Brake Controller Work on an RV with Air Brakes Towing Trailer with Electric Brakes
  • 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).

  • Does Hot Lead for Wiring Harness on 2007 Lincoln MKX Have to be Run to Battery
  • We get asked this question pretty regularly and the answer is you must run the hot lead to the battery when installing a 4-way, in your case the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118551 for a 2007 Lincoln MKX.
