  • 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.

  • Aero Bar Roof Rack Recommendation for 2011 Lincoln MKZ

This would be your best option for a rack that's ready to go!

  • 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. The HangOut...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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 Recommendation for 2017 Lincoln MKZ that Allow Reinstallation of Lower Fascia
  • For the Curt hitch part # C12091 for your 2017 Lincoln MKZ Curt decided to recommend removal of the lower fascia instead of trimming it and reinstalling it. They don't have recommendation on how to trim the fascia to get the hitch to fit but I am sure that if you wanted to come up with a way to trim it like the Draw Tite part # 24897 I am sure you could pretty easily. That being said I would recommend the Draw Tite over the Curt because the Draw Tite does not require the use of a stabilizer...

  • How To Carry Four Bikes on a 2016 Lincoln MKZ
  • There is a possibility that you can use your Reese Q-Slot PS63138 with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12091 on your 2016 Lincoln MKZ. However, the adapter you need, Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # C45785 will reduce you weight capacity by 50%. Therefore, the total weight of your four bikes cannot exceed 109 lbs. If they do not then you can use the Reese Q-Slot but you will also need the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap part # 18050 to abide by Curt's warranty for the...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is There Better Value Brake Controller than Redarc Tow Pro Elite
  • The Tow Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR is a really great brake controller that would work really well in your Winnebago Adventurer with the tow dolly you mentioned that has electric brakes, but if you wanted the best value you'd want the Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR which comes in at a much better price due to it not having the time delayed option of the Elite. The proportional setting would be what you'd want to use and is in every way better than time delayed so it doesn't make...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Can the Saris Bones 2 Trunk Carrier be Safely used on a 2018 Lincoln MKZ
  • Saris test fit their Bones trunk rack part # SA805BL on your 2018 Lincoln MKZ and found that it fit and worked well without damaging anything. You'd just need to stay under the capacity of the rack at 35 lbs per bike and keep the painted surface of the vehicle clean to prevent scratching. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube...
