The lowest-priced trailer brake controller I recommend for your 2011 Lincoln MKT which has the factory-installed 7-way trailer socket at the rear is the Tekonsha Primus # TK90160. This installs without any cutting or splicing of wires using the matching wiring adapter # 3035-P. These two items are all you need to complete installation and together they qualify for free shipping. Tekonsha controllers are renowned for their reliability.

For a light kit that is designed to fit etrailer cargo carrier # e98874 check out the part # e98943-44LED. This has everything that you need including the mounting brackets.
This could pretty easily be installed to the railings of the # e98874 that you mentioned. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Yes, the trailer wiring harness options for a 2014 Lincoln MKT will have a powered converter as the vehicle's taillights aren't sufficient enough to power both sets of tail lights, the trailer and vehicle. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56095 is a great splice free option that I recommend. view full answer...
When we installed a Class III hitch on a Ford Flex, we found that the distance between the hitch pin hole and the farthest rearward point of the bumper was right about 3 inches. This dimension on your MKT should be similar. This means that the bike rack you choose would need to have a shank whose hitch pin hole to closest portion of the rack dimension is greater than 3 inches. If you don't already have a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III receiver, part # C13110. I've linked to an... view full answer...
If the hitch is rated for 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight then the tongue weight capacity will be 200 pounds, possibly 300 pounds. Either way the motorcycle carrier and motorcycle itself are exceeding the tongue weight capacity of the hitch.
A higher capacity trailer hitch such as # 75679 is definitely recommended (as long as the factory hitch is not welded on). It looks like in the owner's manual that the hitch itself determines the towing capacity of the vehicle. So if you switched... view full answer...
For all roof boxes like the Thule Force XT XXL, part # TH6359B, you'll need a roof rack to mount the box to.
For your 2016 Lincoln MKT, I recommend an all-in-one kit like the Rhino Rack, part # RR58GR.
To fit a roof box you'll need to make sure of two measurements, the crossbar spread and the front clearance.
The crossbar spread is the measurement from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. For the Rhino Rack kit, its 29.53 inches.
The front clearance is the measurement... view full answer...
We do not carry a Reciever hitch for the 2019 Lincoln MKT. I'm unsure of the reasoning behind this. You will have to check with the dealer about a fitment.
I can help you with wiring using the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56095 will work for the vehicle. It provides a 4-way flat trailer connector for you to use for any trailers or lit cargo carriers. view full answer...
I have a wiring solution for your 2012 Lincoln MKT, but the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118472 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit for you vehicle so I would not recommend it for you.
If you do not have any trailer wiring connectors at all I would recommend you get a Curt Wiring Harness # C56095. This wiring harness has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and would work well. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out. view full answer...
For wiring your MKT for flat towing, you have a few different options. The simplest option would be a magnetic mount lamp kit like part # RM-2120. The plus for a system like this is that it's very easy to install and remove, although some folks don't care for the exposed wires.
A second option would be a bulb and socket kit like part # RM-155. Installation involves drilling 1 inch diameter holes in the rear of the taillight assemblies, but no splicing into the vehicle wiring in necessary,... view full answer...
In an AWD vehicle, you may use one or two sets of chains. Since the owner's manual doesn't specify which axle the chains should be on if you're going with one set only, I'd recommend putting them on the front wheels because you'll want your steering axle to have the best traction possible. For some vehicles, turning off the traction control when using chains might be necessary, see the owner's manual for details.
Since your owner's manual specifically mentions that chains should not be... view full answer...
I have attached a link to an installation video for the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack. The vehicle is different but the installation will be similar on your MKT. I have also attached the installation instructions you can check out. To order this roof rack you will need part # RR58GR.
The biggest issue you are going to face is trying to carry paddleboards at the same time you want to carry a kayak. There is just 42.2 inches of usable space on the roof rack mentioned above. I do have a solution... view full answer...
I checked the owner's manual for the 2011 Lincoln MKT and found that it has a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds when using a Class III trailer hitch. However, all of the Class III trailer hitches available for your vehicle are rated for a maximum of 4,000 pounds so you would be limited to 4,000 pounds.
Make sure the trailer you use weighs less than 950 pounds. Otherwise you will be over the hitch capacity.
The recommended trailer hitch for your 2011 MKT without EcoBoost is # C13000.... view full answer...
A powered module is required to safeguard the vehicle's wiring and support the trailer lights. On your 2015 Lincoln MKT you have a combined wiring system, which means the brake and turn signal are sent on the same wire. The MKT also has light-gauge wiring because of the LED lights.
I recommend the # C59496 for your vehicle. view full answer...
We have a way to install a 7-way on your 2013 Lincoln MKT but there isn't a way to tie into any factory wiring. What you'd need to start with a custom fit 4-way part # C56095 and then convert that to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7 which also comes with everything needed to wire up a brake controller as well.
Then for a brake controller the P2 # 90885 would work really well. If you can verify the brake controller wiring is active you can use some of the circuits there. Red wire of controller... view full answer...
We have a Curt hitch that fits your 2013 Lincoln MKT with the EcoBoost engine with the part # C13110 but the # C13000 that you referenced only fits the models without the EcoBoost engine. The big difference is the driver side crosstube of the # C13110 which is designed to fit around the exhaust of the EcoBoost engines. view full answer...
In addition to installing the Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack, parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK341 on your 2010 Lincoln MKT I recommend using the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512. Initially this carrier is just for 1 kayak, but if you use the Extension Arms # RRS512X you will be able to load a second kayak using this carrier. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
For your 2010 Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost I recommend the Curt trailer hitch # C13110. This is a popular option for MKT owners. The hitch is rated for 400 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight (be sure to check the vehicle owners manual for its capacity). I have linked the instructions and a video showing isntallation for you.
I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.... view full answer...
