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.

  • 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 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....

  • 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...

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Lincoln MKZ for Carrying Wheelchair
  • You would have to go with a hitch mounted option as there is no safe way I can recommend you carry a wheelchair with a trunk mounted bike rack like the part # HRE3 that you referenced. For a hitch for your 2014 Lincoln MKZ you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 24897. I attached an install video for you to check out. Then for a cargo carrier you would want the Curt part # C18145. For a stretchable cargo net you would want the part # C18200 as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
  • 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...

  • Can 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid be Flat Towed
  • You'll have to go with exactly what the owners manual of your 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid states for flat towing procedures. I checked an owners manual for your vehicle and since it's front wheel drive it can easily be towed safely on a dolly. The steering wheel of your vehicle does need to be locked otherwise the vehicle will pivot on the dolly and the fenders will hit the body of the vehicle. You would not want to do this with a steering wheel. It should lock when the vehicle is in park.

  • Is Yakima HangOut Trunk Bike Rack Best For 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  • 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.

  • Using a Blue Ox Tow Bar with Roadmaster Base Plates on a 2012 Lincoln MKZ
  • There is more than one adapter to go from Roadmaster base plates to Blue Ox tow bars. I would need to know which model of Blue Ox tow bar it is to determine the right fit. Adapter # RM-033 works with the following Blue Ox tow bars: Alpha, Aventa, Aventa II, Aventa LX, Kar Bar, Aladdin, Alexxa, Acclaim and A-frame Blue Ox tow bars with 1- or 3-pronged attachments. The adapter bolts to the base plate arms and the tow bars will pin to the adapter. If you have Roadmaster EZ5, MS, or MX Base...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2013 Lincoln MKZ with 245/45-18
  • For a set of tire chains that are a fit for you tire size 245/45-18 that would give you the best possible tire clearance as it does not go over the inside of the shoulder of the tire you would want the # TH02230K44. The CG Tire Chain # TH2004205104 will require 9 mm of clearance. If you have that much clearance already then these would well too.

  • Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2013 Lincoln MKZ
  • 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...

  • Bike Rack Recommendations to Carry a Fito FZ-2 Folding Tandem Bike on a 2012 Lincoln MKZ
  • There are some potential problems with loading a folding tandem bike onto a trunk mount bike rack. First, the bike would have to weight 35 pounds or less. Second, you would have to use an adapter bar like # TH982XT, between the seat posts. The distance between the seat posts could not be more than 31-1/2 inches for the adapter to fit. If the adapter does fit then the center of gravity will be off a little, but not so much as to cause concern. The wheel folded in may interfere with you...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  • 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...

  • Aero Bar Roof Rack Recommendation for 2011 Lincoln MKZ
  • 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!
