  • Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 Lincoln MKC Towing a Boat Trailer with 5-Way Connector
  • 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. If you still wanted to install a...

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for a 1958 22 ft Airstream Trailer
  • It's not uncommon for vehicles with a shorter wheelbase to experience sway when towing the same trailer (from your F-150 to your 2020 Lincoln Aviator). From what I could find it looks like your 1958 22 ft Airstream should weight about 3,000 lbs so I recommend using the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66082. The weight distribution side of things will help keep everything level and improve your towing experience while the dual-cam anti-sway it one of the...

  • Which Ballmount for Curt C13194 Class III Hitch on 2019 Lincoln MKC
  • 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...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For A 2010 Lincoln Navigator
  • When it comes to using a weight distribution system on your 2010 Lincoln Navigator The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 pounds GTW, 800 pounds TW # FA92-00-0800 will be the system that you will need. Using the Fastway e2 will not cause the Navigator to pop up if you're under the towing capacity limitations for your vehicle, even though you have the heavy duty tow package doesn't mean the vehicle can actually handle it. When using a weight distribution...

  • Changing a UK Wired Tailer to a USA 4 Wire System for Use with a Lincoln Navigator
  • You could make an adapter to go from the connector on your Aviator, if it is a factory 7-Way connector, to the 5 wires on your trailer. I would use the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector, item # PK12706, along with the 5-Flat Vehicle End 5-foot Wiring Harness, item # HM37908, to build an adapter. Once the adapter is built and wired, I would use the 5-Flat Trailer End 48-inch Harness, item # 20017, to splice to the trailer wiring. If you have a 4-Way connector at the...

  • Installing Fishing Rods Holders on a 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  • If you don't have hand holders for an inside fishing rod holder, like the Inno INIF8, then I recommend installing a Malone roof rack, part # MPG202 for square or part # MPG215 for aero, and then using a roof mount holder like the Rhino-Rack Multipurpose Holder # RMPH or Fishing Rod Carrier # RR572.

  • Recommended Solution to Reduce Hitch on 2020 Lincoln Corsair From 2" to 1-1/4"
  • I have a solution for you, but I don't recommend using any adapter that extends the hitch away from the vehicle similarly to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 since those will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. Instead, I recommend using the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02, which won't reduce the tongue weight capacity but will still reduce the 2" receiver down to a 1-1/4". This will allow...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2018 Lincoln Navigator
  • I have a solution for you but I was able to find out that the 2018 Lincoln Navigator is not pre-wired for any type of brake controller installation, so your best bet is going to be to use a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180. This unit plugs into your 7 way controller and is controlled wirelessly by your Bluetooth enabled smart phone (requires iOS 8.0 or Android 4.4- or newer). This is a proportional brake controller so it will provide you with responsive braking in by...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  • From what I show, a brake controller would have to be hardwired into a 2005 Lincoln Aviator. If the vehicle does not have a 4-Way trailer connector, you will need to start by adding one, # 18252. I have included a video link showing a typical installation for you. You will then need a 4 and 7 Way installation kit # ETBC7. This will provide a 7-Way at the back of the vehicle and all of the wiring needed to install the brake controller. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation. For...

  • The Blue Ox base plate kit that you will need to use is part # BX2673 for your 2017 Lincoln MKX EcoBoost with Adaptive Cruise Control.
