Hi there, Lincoln owners. Today on your 2016 Lincoln MKZ, we're going to be installing Roadmaster's Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit.This is one of the major components needed to flat tow your MKZ behind your motorhome. In addition to your baseplate, you're also going to need your diode wiring, your supplemental braking system, your safety cables, and your tow bar to connect them together.This is what our base plate is going to look like when it's installed. The majority of the base plate is going to be completely hidden behind your front fascia, and it's going to be a Direct-Connect face plate, so your tow bars are going to connect directly to the arms here. What's nice about this compared to your crossbar connection, the crossbar connection is going to require a little bit more assembly with the crossbar attaching to the base plate after it's installed, and then if you want to remove it, there's a little bit more involved removing the crossbar.With the Direct-Connect style, if you want to get rid of these two to give you a little bit more stock appearance, you simply pull the pin, give it a twist, and they pop right out. To put them back in, you just push them in, twist them until they lock in place. more
