Expert Answers about Lincoln MKC

• Will Adding Higher Rated Trailer Hitch Increase Vehicle's Towing Capacity
• The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75943 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2015 Lincoln MKC and will fit without issue on your model that has the towing package. Although this hitch does have a 3,500 pound towing capacity, you will still need to follow the limits of the vehicle itself if it is lower. This is essentially because the existing hitch on your MKC is likely not the defining factor when it comes to setting the towing capacity of the vehicle....

• Recommended Bike Rack for Trek Verve +2 and Lectric XP Electric Bikes
• The Thule # TH903202 EasyFold bike rack you'd looked at would actually be the perfect choice for your bikes. I've looked up the specs of both your bikes, and both would come in under the 65 lb per bike capacity of the Easy Fold. The only other thing you'd need to do is add the separately available fat bike tire strap, part # TH985101 to handle the thicker tires on the Lectric XP bike. The rack would hold both bikes by either the top tube for the Verve + or the seat post tube for the...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Lincoln MKC with 2 Inch Receiver Hitch
• Trailer hitches for your 2015 Lincoln MKC have only been available since recently. For your 2015 Lincoln MKC, the trailer hitch I recommend is the Curt Trailer hitch # C13194. The weight capacity is 3,500 pounds and has a tongue weight of 525 pounds. It's also a Class-III hitch.

The ball mount kit comes with a ball mount, interchangeable...

• Solution for Carrying E-Bike and E-Trike With 2016 Lincoln MKC
• The only solution to carry your e-bike and e-trike with your 2016 Lincoln MKC is to use a trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6. I know this might not be ideal, but there are no bike racks or cargo carriers able to accommodate the size and weight of both. You will also need something like the Ratchet Tie Down Straps # ETBMB-05852 to secure them in the trailer.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Yakima EXO Bike Rack on 2019 Lincoln MKC
• Thanks for reaching out! I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79KR on your 2019 Lincoln MKC for use with the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR. It has a matte black finish that not only looks more rugged but actually offers better protection against road debris than the glossy black finish we see on the other hitches for your vehicle. The EXO system is an excellent option because it's not only an excellent bike rack but it also gives you the ability to...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Lincoln MKC
• We do have trailer hitches that will fit your 2016 Lincoln MKC. I have included a link to all of the options for you. I recommend a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver such as # 75943. The 2 inch receivers are more robust and there are more accessory options available for it. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also...

• Is Trimming Required to Install Draw Tite Hitch part # 75943 on a 2016 Lincoln MKC
• I checked the install instructions for the Draw Tite hitch part # 75943 and there is no rear valance or fascia trimming at all. The only modification needed is that the holes in the frame have to be slightly enlarged to allow the hitch hardware to fit in. For trailer wiring you would need the part # C59496. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Lincoln MKC
• The Hidden Hitch part # 75943 that you referenced would be a great choice for your 2016 Lincoln MKC. This hitch has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and only the hitch opening will be visible since the cross tube will be behind the rear fascia. All of the hitches available will be just like this with only the hitch opening visible. The foot activation of your rear lift gate would still work, but you would need to go to either side of the hitch opening so that the sensor will pick...

• Recommended Trike Rack for a 2019 Lincoln MKC
• I have a great option for you to transport your JC26X tadpole-style recumbent trike, but I do not recommend using the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041. Setting aside the potential issue of ground clearance hitch height with your hitch, the Softride Hang2 requires front handlebars to mount to the clamps at the top. Since we have not fitted a recumbent-style bike on the clamps there is no way to confirm whether the clamps will adequately secure at any point of...

• Recommended Bike Carrying Solutions for Heavier Bikes on a 2015 Lincoln MKC
• We do have several solutions for carrying bikes that are a little heavier, but these solutions would involve using a hitch mounted bike rack. Due to the way trunk mounted bike racks are attached to the vehicle, the weights of the bikes must be limited to a maximum of 35 lbs (30 lbs for the Yakima # Y02638 HangOut you looked at). Exceeding that weight would either damage the vehicle, cause the rack to come loose from the vehicle, or both. Which would be very bad. Because of that and the...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2017 Lincoln MKC and Tips for Routing Wiring Harness Power Wire
• Curt trailer wiring harness # C56262 does require a direct connection to the battery on your 2017 Lincoln MKC. The battery will actually be powering the trailer lights and helps protect the vehicle wiring and electrical system. The wiring harness comes with additional wire and connectors to run the power wire from the battery to the wiring harness converter. How the power wire is run is up to you. I have linked a help article with tips on routing the power wire. Trailer hitch # C13194...

• How To Carry a Pedego Tandem E-Bike With a 2019 Lincoln MKC
• Due to the weight(75lbs) and length(102.5" with 75.5" wheelbase) of your Pedego Tandem E-Bike we do not have a way to carry it on your 2019 Lincoln MKC. The Thule Tandem Roof Mounted Bike Rack # TH558P you found is only rated for up to 55lbs. You would need to have a small Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7 you can tow behind your MKC. It would require you to have a our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79KR and T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118284 to connect the trailer lighting. You will then...

• Will Foot Operated Lift Gate Still Function When Trailer Hitch is Installed
• The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Lincoln MKC is the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75943. I confirmed with my contact at Draw-Tite that the hitch will still allow you to operate the liftgate with the foot control. You may need to be more animated with the foot motion to operate the liftgate, and it is best to move to the left or right of the hitch receiver for the vehicle to pick up the motion. The # 75943 hitch offers a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver with...

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Lincoln MKC
• Both the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118284 and the Curt T-Connector Harness # C56262 referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2017 Lincoln MKC. Both harnesses will install the same way, by connecting to built-in ports in the rear cargo area behind the driver's and passenger's side, and then running the hot lead up to the vehicle battery. This will give you a 4-Way connector that will connect with and power a trailer's basic signal lights. Between the two harnesses,...
