Expert Answers about Lincoln MKX


  • Wiring for Flat Towing a 2016 Lincoln MKX
  • Yes, the diode kit # RM-15267 is confirmed to fit your 2016 Lincoln MKX. Depending on how handy you are I'd say the installation is between 4-6 hours. I did attach an installation video on a 2015 Jeep Cherokee which won't be exactly the same as your Lincoln but it will be the same basic process.

  • 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). On the Air Utility Brake Control, in addition to connecting to the air brake system, there are also 3 wires that will need to be connected. The black wire provides power to the unit, the blue...

  • Do the Removable Arms from Base Plate Kit RM-521448-5 Fit on Base Plate Kit RM-524447-4
  • The flat plate is for a cross bar bracket. The cross bar comes with brackets that mount to the plates on the removable arms. This crossbar comes with the tow bar. The removable arms from the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit RM-521448-5 will not fit the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit RM-524447-4 If you are still wanting to use the same tow bar then I recommend: Replacement Crossbar for Roadmaster Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars Item # RM-067 Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnects...

  • Does Hot Lead for Wiring Harness on 2007 Lincoln MKX Have to be Run to Battery

The reason is this is the only way to ensure your car's wiring is not otherwise affected.

  • Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Hitch Bike Rack Compatibility
  • The Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Rack # Y36FR will work with your 2016 Lincoln MKX. All you need is a hitch receiver like this # C78KR. I've included a review video of the OnRamp that AJ put together and he does a great job of going over all the features. Also, Conor made an installation video on a 2019 Ford Edge which should give you an idea if it is something you would want to do it yourself! Be sure to check those out.

  • Do Yakima JetStream Crossbars Fit a 2015 Lincoln MKX with Panoramic Roof
  • Actually, the Yakima JetStream roof rack has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Lincoln MKX with the panoramic roof. You may not be able to open the roof depending on how much clearance there is between it and the bottom of the crossbars or the mounting hardware of anything on the crossbars. So use caution once you have the rack on our Lincoln. You need the 50 inch JetSreams # Y00425 in black. Along with the BaseLine towers, part # Y28TR, and BaseClips, part # Y06180.

  • Will the Glacier Cable Chains # PW2029C Give me Enough Clearance on My 2016 Lincoln MKX?
  • I have a really good tire chain solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Pewag (the makers of the tires) that the cables in # PW2029C have a thickness of 12.33mm. This will not give you the 10mm or less that you need for your 2016 Lincoln MKX's front 245/60-18 tires. However, the best option for a 10mm clearance requirement is the Konig Self-Tension, Low-Pro Snow Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - Easy Fit SUV # TH04115250. These particular chains only require 10mm of internal...

  • Base Plate Kits that Fits 2016 Lincoln MKX
  • The great thing about the Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-524447-4 is that it fits all versions of the ecoboost, non-ecoboost, as well as the adaptive and non-adaptive cruise control models so either way it works for your 2016 Lincoln MKX. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms...

  • Does Wiring Harness for 2011 Lincoln MKX Work With Trailer That has LED and Incandescent Lights
  • Yes, the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56121 that fits your 2011 Lincoln MKX will work if your trailer has LED lights and incandescent lights so long as your lights do not exceed the maximum of 3 amps for the stop and turn signals and 6 amps for the tail lights. It is also highly recommended you use Dielectric Grease # 11755 when using your 4-way to help prevent corrosion. I have added a link to a video review of this part as well as a link to a video install of this harness...

  • Lock for Threaded Hitch Pin on a Yakima Kingpin Bike Rack
  • No, the Thule Snug Tite lock # THSTL2 is not a confirmed fit for the Yakima Kingpin bike rack but you can use the Yakima lock # Y07235. This lock fits the threaded pin that came with the Kingpin bike rack. I have linked a video review of this lock for you.

  • 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!

  • Hitch Lock for a Kuat Bike carrier with 3/8 Inch Diameter Hitch Pin
  • So the Thule Snug Tite lock # THSTL2 does not fit the Kuat pin because the Kuat pin is a 3/8 inch diameter. It is too small to fit the Thule lock. Kuat has a locking pin, # HL1. It fits 3/8 inch diameter pin holes. It has a useable length of 3-1/2 inches. The lock part is not available by itself.

  • 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. I recommend using the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2625 because it is very easy to use, and when you are not towing your MKX you can remove the base plate tabs for a better look when driving it around. 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...
