view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Lincoln MKX AWD
- For your 2014 Lincoln MKX the hitch I recommend is the etrailer hitch part # e98870 as this is a USA made hitch with more than enough capacity for your vehicle, is priced great, and only has the hitch opening hanging below the rear bumper which means it's mostly out of plain sight.
The best trailer wiring option is the Tekonsha kit part # 118519 because it's easy to install and comes with a very reliable converter box. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well....

- For your 2010 Lincoln MKX I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13067. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. I have included a link to an installation video for this hitch you can check out. A strap like part # 18050 is required when using this hitch.

view full answer... - Do You Have to Remove Heat Shield for Trailer Hitch on 2018 Lincoln MKX
- Yes, the heat shield will need to be removed on a 2018 Lincoln MKX for the installation of a trailer hitch. It's the same for the etrailer part # e36RR, Curt part # C78KR, and Draw-Tite part # 75234. I recommend the etrailer hitch due to the matte finish which blends in better with the underbody paneling on the vehicle. It also features a bolt-on install and hidden design. The removal of the heat shield won't have an affect on the vehicle.

view full answer... - Would a Hitch from a 2010 Lincoln MKX fit a 2013 MKX
- A hitch from a 2010 Lincoln MKX SHOULD fit a 2013 model. It looks like the hitches like the Curt Hitch part # C13067 fit the 2013 MKX also fit 2007-2015 MKX's so you should be just fine.
Hitch hardware is considered one time use so you will need to replace the hardware with part # RHK. You will need to enter the part number and manufacturer on the product page and we will ship you out the correct hardware.

- When installing the Inno Aero Crossbars part # INXB138-2, Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars part # INXS250 and the Custom Fit Kit for Inno Crossbars part # INK676 we must follow the installation instructions exactly. This is where the rack was designed to to be installed and tested for performance.

view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for 3,700 lb Travel Trailer
- We have not had any issues with weight distribution systems bending trailer frames. If your trailer happens to have an aluminum frame that could be an issue though. You would need to check with the trailer manufacturer if the frame is aluminum to see if that would still be recommended.
If your travel trailer weighed 3,700 lbs the tongue weight would be between 370 and 555 lbs. The FastWay E2 part # FA94-00-0800 would be perfect for that tongue weight range. Especially if you consider the...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2016 Lincoln MKX
- Since your 2016 Lincoln MKX has that spoiler piece at the top of the rear hatch there is only one trunk mount bike rack I recommend. Take a look at the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame...

only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.
The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked into position to deter theft of the rack. And there is also an integrated cable lock in the last...

- 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.

- 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...
