Expert Answers about Lincoln


  • Do Trailer Hitches for 2004 Lincoln Aviator Require Factory Hitch be Installed
  • The factory hitch of a 2004 Lincoln Aviator is built into the rear portion of the frame/bumper beam. It's not something that could easily be removed and would be necessary to install one of our hitches that is designed for the vehicle like the Draw Tite # 75132. I'd be willing to bet the vehicle has a hitch but is covered by a bumper cover.

  • Wireless Camera Recommendation for Better Vision Backing Up Boat and Blind Spot Vision
  • For a wireless camera to install at the back of your boat I would recommend the Swift Hitch part # 04928. Of the wireless cameras we offer this one seems to have the best range without interference issues like some of the others do. This also has night vision which means it'll help even at night.

  • Upgrading to 12 Inch Wheels/Tires On a Sea Lion Trailer
  • The largest size tire you can use on your Sea Lion trailer is going to depend on how much clearance you have which I will not be able to answer for you. In order to determine this you will need to measure for yourself. It looks like you will be able to install a 12" wheel/tire no problem so long as you also replace the fender. I recommend the Kenda KR25 ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum Wheel part # AM31208. This tire measures 21.3" diameter x 5.7" wide so you will need to...

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Lincoln MKT
  • I have platform-style bike rack options for your 2011 Lincoln MKT, though not with Thule. Your vehicle needs more space to clear the bumper than the Thule racks can offer, so I recommend the Kuat Sherpa, # SH22P, a high-quality rack which offers 7-1/2 inches of space from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the carrier when folded (your vehicle requires at least 6 inches to clear the bumper). The Yakima HoldUp, # Y02443, is another quality option, measuring 7 inches...

  • Snow Tire Chains or Cables For Regular Use With 285/45R22 Tires on 2019 Lincoln Navigator
  • Definitely go with snow tire chains over cables for regular use in the snow on your 2019 Lincoln Navigator's 285/45R22 tires. Cables are essentially emergency, one-time use only, and pretty much something people throw in their car if they are required to have them around. Cables do not allow you to drive faster either so I highly recommend chains, and the best option for your Navigator are indeed from Titan: - Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2327 The # TC2327 are a diamond-pattern...

  • How To Choose The Right Ball Mount For 2017 Lincoln MKX With Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch
  • The Draw-Tite Maxx-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75234 is a good fit for your 2017 MKX. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. You do want to tow the trailer as level as possible. I have attached a link to an installation video for this hitch on an MKX. As shown in the video, the distance from the ground to the top of the hitch opening is 12-1/4 inches. This is done when the vehicle is parked on a level surface. You can get a good idea what ball mount will work best...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Lincoln MKX to Carry a Hollywood Rack # HR1400
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap # 18050 would work well on your 2012 Lincoln MKX and would be recommended for any non-supported loads, like a bike rack, with a Curt Class II hitch. However, you will need to get a Class III hitch in order to carry the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4-Bike Carrier # HR1400Z. For that I would recommend you get a Curt Trailer Hitch Class III # C13067. Or, if you do not want to mess with using a stabilizing strap you could get a Draw-Tite Trailer...

  • Smallest Opening Needed for 30 Amp Power Inlet
  • The best option we have for you to install a power inlet inside an existing opening is with the Furrion 30 Amp Power Inlet part # 431861 which requires a 2-1/2" hole. The standard opening size for a power inlet in 2-7/8" so the above is a great option for a smaller opening. Unfortunately, we do not have any power inlets that install into a 2" hole which is very small. That said, it would be very easy to open your existing hole up another 1/2" so the Furrion 30 Amp Power Inlet is an excellent...

  • Can 2017 Lincoln Continental Tow a Trailer
  • According to the Ford Towing Guide, your 2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve can tow up to 1,000 lbs assuming you have the 3.0L GTDI V6 or the 3.7L Ti-VCT V6. If you have the 2.0L GTDI I4 engine you will not be able to tow. You will need to check your owner's manual to verify this information. The Curt # C12182 is the only hitch available for your vehicle. It may have a 350 lb tongue weight and 3,500 lb max trailer weight capacity, but you're still limited by the capacity of your vehicle....

  • Hitch Availability for a 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  • We do have hitches available that have been confirmed to fit your 2009 Lincoln MKZ, but if Lincoln says you can't tow with your vehicle then we can't recommend you do so. Basically the hitch manufacturers will make hitches for vehicles as long as there is a demand for them, regardless of what the vehicle manufacturer recommends. For your vehicle you may still be able to carry a bike rack like the Swagman XTC2 # S64670 so a hitch like the Curt part # C11329 would work well for this.

  • What Is Needed On 2004 Lincoln Aviator With Tow Package To Tow Coleman Camper With Electric Brakes
  • You will need to install a brake controller on your 2004 Lincoln Aviator since you will be towing a camper with electric brakes. The brake controller supplies power from the tow vehicle to apply the brakes on the camper. Along with the brake controller you will also need a 4-way trailer connector on the rear of your vehicle and the # ETBC7 installation kit. I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885. The Prodigy 2 brake controller is our best selling model. It...

  • Towing Mirrors Recommendation for 2015 Lincoln Navigator
  • For your 2015 Navigator we have great options for tow mirrors, but there is not a custom towing mirror available like the CIPA you mentioned. That said, we offer several universal-type mirrors that would work for you. You can see the universal towing mirrors by clicking on the attached link. The K-Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3990 is our best selling option. This mirror will fit your existing mirror as long as the mirror housing has a lip running around the edge for...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Lincoln MKX with Hands-Free Liftgate Feature
  • Any trailer hitch that installs on your 2017 Lincoln MKX is going to have a small effect on the vehicle's hand-free liftgate feature, but it will still allow the system to operate. With a hitch installed, you will simply need to wave your foot to either side of the hitch receiver so that the sensor can pick up your movement. For your Lincoln MKX, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75234. This is a Class III hitch that will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and...

  • 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...

  • It sure is! To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR in your 2014 Lincoln MKT with the Factory 7-way connector you will just need the Plug-In wiring adapter # 331-TPH-007. This will plug in directly to the factory trailer brake controller port underneath the dash of your MKT and will take care of all of the electrical connections with zero splicing. The last thing you will need to do is decide where you are going to mount the controller. You will need to...

  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2011 Lincoln MKX
  • The spoiler is going to be an issue but I do have a bike rack solution for you. First, the spoiler is going to interfere with the safe installation of a trunk mount bike rack so you will need to go an alternate route to carry bikes with the vehicle. I recommend going with a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. A trailer hitch is also much more versatile, it is the safest way to carry bikes, and it protects the vehicle more by keeping the carrier off of the vehicle. The most popular...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Lincoln Corsair
  • The hitch that I recommend for your 2021 Lincoln Corsair is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR. This hitch is confirmed to fit all models of the 2021 Lincoln corsair. The hitch is also made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. If you are going to be towing a trailer after you get your hitch installed then you...

  • What is the Sound Like on the Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust for a 2003 Lincoln Navigator
  • Magnaflow describes the cat back exhaust # MF15872 as a smooth, deep tone. I had some installed on my car, see video link, and I would say that it is an accurate description. There really is no comparison between Magnaflow and Flowmaster. Magnaflow is superior in quality and sound. I spoke with a mechanic who has worked on cars with both systems and he greatly prefers the Magnaflow. The new exhaust will be louder than stock exhaust, but it will not be obnoxiously loud. Magnaflow system...
