  • Size of Bolt Used to Install Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII
  • The Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver that fits your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII is part # 36179. The bolts that are used to install the hitch at the location you mentioned where the exhaust is reattched are 2 inch long 7/16 inch bolts. I've linked a video of this install on a 1996 Lincoln for you. You can see this bolt being installed at the 3:25 mark. The Curt hitch, part # C12053, uses 2 inch long 1/2 inch bolts at this location.

  • Waterproof Storage Bag Option For A Trailer Hauling An Old Town 106 Sportsman Kayak
  • I took a look at the Storage Trunk for Malone MicroSport and XtraLight Trailers # MPG481 that you mentioned, and it turns out that this trunk is actually not waterproof, however I do have another alternative. Instead, take a look at the: - Rightline Gear 4x4 Duffel Bag # RL100J87-B. This bag IS waterproof, features a bit more storage space at 4.1 cubic feet, and measures 30" long, 14-3/4" wide and 16-1/2" tall.

  • How to Determine Axle Placement on a Custom 5 x 9 ATV and Motorcycle Trailer
  • When determining the axle placement on a trailer, an important factor to consider is the tongue weight. You want the tongue weight of the trailer to be approximately 10 percent of the gross trailer weight. Moving the axle rearward will increase the tongue weight of the trailer. A heavy tongue weight could cause issues with traction and sway when towing, but that is not as much of a concern on smaller trailers than it is on larger travel trailers or enclosed trailers. First, we want to...

  • Does Item # RM-524447-4For A 2017 Lincoln MKX Require An External Crossbar
  • Yes, you are correct. Item # RM-524447-4 does require an external crossbar on your 2017 Lincoln MKX, which comes with certain compatible tow bars like Item # RM-522. The crossbar in some ways can be easier to use because you pull a clip from each side and the crossbar stays connected to the tow bar. When disconnecting from the vehicle, you just lift the crossbar off the brackets and fold the tow bar and crossbar up and store it as one unit on the back of the motor home. The tow bar can...

  • When is Spacer Plate of Curt Friction Sway Control Used
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt Manufacturing, and was told that the spacer plate of the Curt sway control # 17200 is typically used if you are planning on bolting the ball to the trailer frame (instead of using the self-tapping screws). The ball would be stacked on top of the spacer plate then bolted to the trailer frame.

  • Installing Flat Towing Setup on 2015 Lincoln MKX and Additional Parts Needed
  • It's probably a safe bet that it's going to take 4+ hours to complete everything, assuming that you don't run into any issues along the way. Depending on where you live and where you're towing, State laws may require you to have a supplemental braking system for your toad. I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO proportional system # SM99251 . This will apply the brakes of your tow vehicle in proportion to the braking used on your motorhome, which is for added safety and to reduce the wear...
