Curt is always my go to for hitch equipment. This one is no exception. Solid material and good hardware. On this vehicle, the installation is a little tricky on the passenger side due to the exhaust, but it was all done within 45 minutes. Make sure to have a helper if you can, to get it started.

Hitch is working great. Weve used it 25 times or more and everything is still tight and rust-free.



by:

All went great received the hitch the next day. My guy put it on the car and we now have the lift mounted and carrying my scooter.



by: 06/10/2023

Looks great and installation was a breeze! Exactly what we were looking for.



by:
2015 Lincoln MKC

Excellent prior to installation. Arrived with a destroyed box but all necessary hardware was well fastened to the receiver resulting in a successful delivery.


Looking for a great install experience. I am excited about the opportunity to tow a small trailer in order to accomplish the real estate management chores needed.

This was way easier that you are expecting it to be. The walk though videos are making so easy. I didn't have to jack the car up or anything. only used the jack to hold the muffler. The design was perfect and super unintrusive when not in use.



by:

Perfect fit. Instructions were spot on. One tip, spring end of fish wires are kind of like a Chinese finger toy, they go on easy but won’t come off easy. I recommend only screwing them on 4 threads, this makes them easier to get off.



by:
2015 Lincoln MKC

Really happy w/ my new hitch. It looks great on the MKC. Customer Service Team was very helpful when shipping was delayed for much longer than I anticipated. Alex - I appreciate your follow-up. We’re all set and ready for out trip to Mackinac Island.



by:
2015 Lincoln MKC

I bought the Curt hitch for the 2015 Lincoln MKC. The directions to install were clear, and easy to follow. It took me about two hours to install, but I am 68 and getting up and down takes me awhile! It looks great!

Solid, installed easily in 1-1/2 hours by one (solo) senior citizen with some pieces of 4x4 to hold up one side. Hitch clears all stock MKC parts. Used for a Yakima swing out bike rack (which I modified by replacing the safety pin with a 3/8-24 grade 5 or 8 nut, bolt, heavy lock washer, and heavy washer, the nut being tack welded to the inside of the rack tube). Hitch does not interfere with the automatic hatch lift sensor triggered by your foot (Lincoln MKC).
This does not solve a hitch problem, it solves a bike rack problem. Same thing happened with my Thule rack. Without the bolt, you can watch the rack flop back and forth in the mirror (but easy fix). On long trips, check the bolt (torque) security occasionally.
I plan to tow a medium weight trailer and have no concerns with the strength and rigidity of this hitch.

Hitch is working fine. It was purchased primarily for a bike rack but it is plenty solid for towing a trailer limited to my car towing limit 3500.



by:

well made hitch. Only issue is the "wag your foot" opener does not work anymore.

I reached out to Curt and the swipe your foot feature will still function. What you would want to do issimply kick your leg to the side of the hitch receiver instead of the center, but it will still work to open your tailgate.

I don't do reviews but you deserve the thumbs up. From the initial order (on a Sunday evening) the rep was informative and patient. Updates of the delivery process were automatic without even asking. The video's and product overview were amazing. I retired from Ford Motor Company so I know my vehicles. This is along with the harness kit are excellent products.



by:

The Curt hitch fit my Lincoln MKC perfectly. Instructions/video were great. Fish wires provided made installation easy. Wiring harness I purchased was also a simple install. It took about 1 1/4 hours for the complete install….not bad for a 72 year old. This is the 3rd Curt hitch I have purchased from etrailer and if the need arises again, I will be a return customer for sure.

2017 Lincoln MKC

Perfect fit, etrailer installation videos made this a snap on my 2017 MKC Reserve AWD 2.3T. I plan to use for a bike rack so did not order any electrical. I used jack and stands at rear most jack points to take whole back end up until tires were about 4 inches off the floor and this was plenty of room to drop the exhaust and work underneath. The exhaust won't drop much anyway, especially on the drivers side, but there is just enough room to thread the hitch assembly above and it tucks in perfectly behind and below bumper cover plastic. I didn't need to cutout or trim any plastic as seems to be needed with some other brands of hitch kits. Liftgate kick sensors still work perfectly by kicking to left or right of hitch receiver. Great product, and thanks for the quick shipping and excellent videos!



by:

This looks great and was a pretty easy install. I've installed one hitch before on a different car (also purchased from eTrailer) and this one was easier, mostly because the exhaust comes down super easy, although as with any work done on your back under the car, it can be a bit fiddly but if you have patience, everything comes together. I used a Dremel to expand 2 holes a bit (explained in the instructions). No need for a full on die grinder as stated in the instructions. It takes just a minute or two with a Dremel to grind the the holes out enough. You only have to remove a tiny amount of metal so the carriage bolts will fit through the holes and the metal you're working on is pretty thin. There is an instructional video on YouTube showing using 2 pry bars to enlarge the holes I tried that but could not generate enough force laying on my back under the car. The hitch looks great, super nice finish and it is very unobtrusive. Looks like a factory install. And, the foot kick hatch opener still works. I am using it mostly for a bike rack so I have not towed anything with it yet but the thing is pretty beefy as hitches go so I'm sure the car will give out before the hitch does ;-)



by:

The trailer has been Fabulous!! I don't see it as a add one but a part of my car. I've used to carry my bikes with me, and have had ZERO issues with it!! The only complaint I have is " why didn't I do this sooner"!! Love love LOVE my Trailer Hitch!!!



by:
2019 Lincoln MKC

My trailer hitch and accessories for my Lincoln MKC all arrived in excellent condition. It is a great product. I did install one a few years ago on a different car.

The installation this time was a bit of a challenge as I did not have a lift available.
My tools were adequate, however, I could have used some others.

It is possible my age at 86 did cause me to take a bit longer than planned.



by:

Great product. Only complaint is during installation the parts should be marked better. You can install the side plates incorrectly they should be marked passenger/driver. Other than that it's a great hitch.



by:
2015 Lincoln MKC

Install went well at home. It has worked well for bike racks so far - have not actually towed anything. I have a 2015 Lincoln MKC. Still able to kick open the tailgate though it is touchier now.



by:

I was stressed trying to accommodate my move out and needed a simple and effective solution
The hitch I ordered Cosme in as promised and was easy to install!
Im really pleased with the services e trailer offers
Steve the sales person was very helpful and knowledgeable about what I needed and the extra parts to hook up.
Thank you

2017 Lincoln MKC

My hitch order went without a hitch. It arrived on the day that it was scheduled. It was boxed well and contained all of the mounting hardware needed to mount it on my vehicle, Lincoln MKC. The online video that I viewed on the installation left no surprises. I would recommend this product and etrailer.com service.



by:
2015 Lincoln MKC

I searched the internet to see if the 2015 lincoln Mkc had a hitch available for it. I found videos to prove they did and the video also showed how to install the hitch. The video made a world of difference on helping the installation process. Product fit great and is tucked up very well. I recommend this product



by:
2019 Lincoln MKC

Product is flawless and fits perfectly. Not quite as easy to install as some proclaim but certainly can be accomplished by anyone with modest mechanical abilities. Fishing the bolts through the frame is a bit tedious on your back with limited space, but once that is done and the flange nuts are in place, it's clear sailing from there. Great product at a very good price!!



by:

This Curt wire harness and hitch was great. Received it in perfect condition and it was installed in 1/2 a day. Took it directly from Ann Arbor, MI to Lexington, KY and back with absolutely no issues.



by:
2017 Lincoln MKC

Fast shipping, great product, great packaging... I ordered from parts geek several weeks ago, and they delivered a busted huge box with holes and missing parts. I tried to get them to send me a new one, and still waiting for a refund... so I ordered same parts from you guys and it shipped same day, at no extra charge, came in a timely manner, packaged very well, no hole or damage and product was perfect. I will never use parts geek again, you guys have become my #1go to. Thanks for the great service!

Great general purpose hitch with clear instructions for installation. Highly recommend!

  • Is Drilling Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Lincoln MKC
    No drilling is required on the 2015 Lincoln MKC to install Curt trailer hitch # C13194. But access holes may need to be enlarged which can be done with a drill or rotary tool. You could also use hand tools such as a file to enlarge the holes. I have included a link to the instructions for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

    We haven't heard any complaints about the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13194 affecting any lift gate sensors on the 2018 MKC.

  • 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...

    A factory-installed hands-free lift gate feature will still function after you install an aftermarket hitch but often just the center-positioned sensor will not function. However, the other sensors near the corners of the vehicle will still operate normally. So in practical terms you'll just need to swing your foot near to one of the outside sensors to trigger the lift gate feature. This will be the case for either of the hitch types offered for your 2018 Lincoln MKC, both the 1-1/4-inch...
