  • The Curt hitch part # C78KR is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Lincoln MKX. It's a Class III trailer hitch that would work well for you. For installing the hitch you would want to find a local mechanic with a good reputation to perform the install. These installs are pretty basic for most mechanics so you would not need a specialized installer. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56298 which is a confirmed fit.

  • Are Ball Mounts Sold Separately from Trailer Hitches
  • Sounds like you are looking for a ball mount. We carry quite a few of them actually. But when you buy one you want to go with one that allows the trailer to be towed as level as possible. I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will...

  • Can Blue Ox EZ Light Wiring Harness Be Installed On 2015 Lincoln MKX With 4-way Connector Installed?
  • You sure can. The Blue Ox EZ Light Wiring Harness you mentioned will plug in-between the tail lights and the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle wiring harness you have installed on your 2015 Lincoln MKX, and since they will not be used at the same time you will not have any issues with overloading the wiring. I included a video of the # 118519 being installed for you to take a look at.

  • Roof Rack and 2-Kayak Carrier that Fits 2016 Lincoln MKX with Flush Rails
  • Yakima has really great roof rack options for your 2016 Lincoln MX with flush rails like the Yakima Jetstream rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y00145, and # Y89FR. This is a very strong and well designed rack that would work well to carry two kayaks and upper wind force would not be an issue at all. Then for a kayak carrier that can carry your two kayaks that fits the rack as well the Thule Compass part # TH890000 would be a really great option.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2008 Lincoln MKX with Rear Spoiler
  • While technically a fit, I do not recommend the Thule Passage # TH911XT for your 2008 Lincoln MKX because of that spoiler. It is not meant to support weight. What I do recommend is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2-3. The Over-The-Top rack was designed specifically for vehicles like yours that have a spoiler. The rack has an upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no weight is put on it. I have linked a video showing how it works. There is nothing...

  • Bike Adapter Bar Recommendation for Swagman Origninal Bike Carrier
  • Yes, there is an adapter that you can use to fit your bike on the Swagman bike carrier # S64400. I recommend bike adapter bar # 64005. I have linked a video showing how it works. Basically, one end clamps around the handle bar gooseneck and the other end around the seat post. This creates an artificial top frame tube to fit the cradles on the carrier.

This is a flush bar style roof rack which means the crossbars do not extend past the feet at all so the bars match the width of your roof.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Lincoln MKX
  • The rear spoiler is going to be a problem with any of the trunk mount bike rack options. I do not recommend a trunk mount for the 2009 Lincoln MXK with the rear spoiler because the spoiler cannot withstand the stress. The best and safest way to carry bikes is by using a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. I recommend the Class III trailer hitch # C13067. The 2 inch receiver on this hitch will afford you many bike rack options. I have linked a video showing a typical installation and...
