The hands free lift gate sensor on your 2017 Lincoln MKX will still work after installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C78KR, but it will limit where your foot needs to be placed for the sensor to work.
You will want to place your foot on either side of the receiver, and move it in and out until the sensor recognizes your foot. After doing this a few times it will become second nature on where to place your foot for the sensor to work.

The Curt model with the hidden crossbar confirmed to fit your vehicle is # C78KR which is very similar to the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75234 which also has the hidden crossbar. Either is a great option with the similar ground clearance and the same ratings. view full answer...
Yes, there is an adapter that you can use to fit your bike on the Swagman bike carrier # S64400. I recommend bike adapter bar # 64005. I have linked a video showing how it works. Basically, one end clamps around the handle bar gooseneck and the other end around the seat post. This creates an artificial top frame tube to fit the cradles on the carrier. view full answer...
Either the Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver # 75234 or the Curt Hitch Receiver # C78KR would be a great addition for you 2018 Lincoln MKX. I recommend the Curt Hitch Receiver # C78KR as it offers the same maximum Tongue Weight (TW) rating at 675lbs, and Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) rating of 4500lbs. In my experience the powder coat finish the Curt uses is more durable and less likely to chip or scratch, and the Curt Hitch Receiver # C78KR is also made in the USA.

We do carry base plates for your 2008 Lincoln MKX with the Roadmaster Falcon tow bar. I recommend the Roadmaster Base Plates, part # 4408-1. These are designed to fit any RoadMaster tow bars and the front arms, on the base plate kit are simple to remove, using hitch pins. Once the front arms have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible.
There are some other items you will need to complete your towing package. Next, you will need safety cables as required by law. I... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Since you have a 2014 Lincoln MKX and a Blue Ox tow bar the correct base plate kit you'd need is the part # BX2625 which fits with and without adaptive cruise control. Since your motorhome has air brakes the supplemental braking system you'd need is the SBS Air Force One part # SM99243.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C78KR is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Lincoln MKX. It's a Class III trailer hitch that would work well for you. For installing the hitch you would want to find a local mechanic with a good reputation to perform the install. These installs are pretty basic for most mechanics so you would not need a specialized installer.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56298 which is a confirmed fit.

Yes, your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 will have a 2 inch hitch installed on it that the Reese Cargo Carrier part # 63153 is designed to fit. I attached a demo video for you to consider. view full answer...
It sounds like you need a flat-towing wiring harness to allow your motorhome to control the lights on the towed MKX. There are several options for flat-towing lighting and these vary in cost, complexity of installation and in how permanent that installation is.
With a brand new vehicle like your MKX you can consider a set of magnetic lights like # TLL21RK, which uses a 4-pole flat type connector. This kind of lighting kit means you do not have to cut into the brand new car's wiring or... view full answer...
Actually, in our fit guide we list the # 524447-4 base plates as being a fit for the 2016 Lincoln MKX regardless of whether it has the EcoBoost engine or the Adaptive Cruise Control with no mention of the air shutters. The base plate is indeed a fit for vehicles with the Active Air Shutters, and I'll have that information clarified.
According to my research, your 2016 Lincoln MKX is capable of being flat towed, but exceeding 65 mph is not recommended. There are very specific flat towing... view full answer...
You sure can.
The Blue Ox EZ Light Wiring Harness you mentioned will plug in-between the tail lights and the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle wiring harness you have installed on your 2015 Lincoln MKX, and since they will not be used at the same time you will not have any issues with overloading the wiring.

Sounds like you are looking for a ball mount. We carry quite a few of them actually. But when you buy one you want to go with one that allows the trailer to be towed as level as possible.
I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will... view full answer...
For your 2017 MKX EcoBoost, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # RM-524447-4 EZ4 base plate, which is compatible with the Stowmaster Tow Bar like # RM-504. If you don't already have them, I'd recommend the # RM-643 safety chains. To wire up the taillight circuits, I'd recommend # RM-15267. You'll also need a supplemental braking system if you don't already have one. A portable system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR won't require expensive labor to install and can be moved between vehicles... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The owners manual for a vehicle is the final authority on whether it can be flat towed. If it does not make any mention of the steering wheel lock you'd most likely be able to assume that it's fine and you'd not need to worry about it. You can test this by turning the wheel of the vehicle. If it's not locked you're fine as-is. If it is locked you may have to put the ignition in ACC mode which on a push to start vehicle requires pressing the start button without your foot on the brake.
