How Can I Carry Skis On My 2017 Lincoln MKZ With A Panoramic Roof
Unfortunately, we do not have a roof rack option for your 2017 Lincoln MKZ with the panoramic roof. However, if you have a hitch receiver you do have another option. If you combine the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting, part # Y02458, and the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier for Hitch Bike Racks - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards, part # Y02418, you will have a ski rack that is compatible with 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers.

Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier and Cargo Bag Recommendation for a 2013 Lincoln MKZ with 2 in Hitch
If you have a 2 inch hitch on your 2013 Lincoln MKZ and the distance from the center of the hitch pin to the furthest point out on the rear bumper is less than 6 inches then the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 that you referenced would work on your vehicle. Now for a weather proof bag that would fit well on this cargo carrier I would recommend the etrailer Cargo Bag part # e98990. For a theft deterrent you could use the Cable Lock for Rightline Cargo Bags part # RL100640. To secure...

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...

Comparing the Curt Class II and Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitches for a 2016 Lincoln MKZ
A class II trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12091 is a far better option to use on your 2016 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid even for carrying bikes with a hitch mounted bike rack. The reason for this is that it can 1) allow you to carry more bikes if needed and 2) allows for a greater amount of hitch mounted bike racks to be chosen from. The maximum number of bikes you can carry no matter their weight on a class I trailer hitch is two and there are a lot of bike racks that are...

Powered Double Step for 1999 Georgia Boy Sun Voyager
The Kwikee 32 Series Electric RV Steps # LC372261 would be a really great choice for a powered double step for your 199 Georgia Boy Sun Voyager. This would put a second step down lower which will make it easier to get in and out of than the single step you have now. I attached a picture that shows how it would look on a similar RV as yours for you to check out as well. I also attached a review video link for these steps for you to check out as well.

Using a Blue Ox Tow Bar with Roadmaster Base Plates on a 2012 Lincoln MKZ
There is more than one adapter to go from Roadmaster base plates to Blue Ox tow bars. I would need to know which model of Blue Ox tow bar it is to determine the right fit. Adapter # RM-033 works with the following Blue Ox tow bars: Alpha, Aventa, Aventa II, Aventa LX, Kar Bar, Aladdin, Alexxa, Acclaim and A-frame Blue Ox tow bars with 1- or 3-pronged attachments. The adapter bolts to the base plate arms and the tow bars will pin to the adapter. If you have Roadmaster EZ5, MS, or MX Base...

Recommended Method to Carry Two 45 Pound E-Bikes With A 2020 Lincoln MKZ
I went ahead and checked to see what we have for you, and the closest I was able to get to what you're needing is the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL. This bike rack will mount to the trunk of your 2020 Lincoln MKZ and will allow you to transport up to two bikes weighing 35-lbs each. Theoretically, if there is a way to shed 10-lbs per bike this could work, but I understand that's a tall order. Instead, the best option for your situation is to install a trailer hitch # C12091 if one...

Tire Chain Recommendation for 2013 Lincoln MKZ with 245/45-18
For a set of tire chains that are a fit for you tire size 245/45-18 that would give you the best possible tire clearance as it does not go over the inside of the shoulder of the tire you would want the # TH02230K44. The CG Tire Chain # TH2004205104 will require 9 mm of clearance. If you have that much clearance already then these would well too.

Recommended 3-Bike Carrier for 2012 Lincoln MKZ
The folks at Hollywood Racks originally determined their trunk-mount Express 3 Bike Rack # HRE3 was a good match to the 2012 Lincoln MKZ but later determined (based on customer feedback) that it was not a good fit. At this point they do not recommend that rack on your car. I confirmed this with their Fit Guide. In fact they recommend no trunk-mount racks for your MKZ due to the potential for the weight of the bikes to damage the trunk lid and/or hinge. We will update our fit guide to reflect...

Recommended Towing Setup for a 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
Yes, the automatic transmission in your 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is capable of towing a trailer. According to your owner's manual your vehicle has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. Therefore, as long as your U-Haul trailer is less than 1,000 lbs. then you can safely tow it. In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle you will need a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For this, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24897, the Curt...

Recommended Hitch and Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2012 Lincoln MKZ
The type of hitch made for your 2012 Lincoln MKZ is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I type, such as # 24865 and # C11390. Since both install exactly the same way and offer identical capacities I suggest the power-priced Draw-Tite # 24865. This hitch comes complete with all required hardware and the installation in your car is shown in the linked video. You'll also need a compatible Class I cargo carrier such as one of those shown on the linked page. The one I suggest is the Curt # C18110...

Aero Bar Roof Rack Recommendation for 2011 Lincoln MKZ
For an aero bar roof rack that is available for your 2011 Lincoln MKZ that rivals the quality of Yakima racks and is priced better I would highly recommend the Inno Aero Bar roof rack part numbers # INXB123-130, # INXS250, and # INK546. This would be your best option for a rack that's ready to go!

Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2013 Lincoln MKZ
As long as you have a factory roof rack with crossbars that run from left to right on your 2013 Lincoln MKZ you could use the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512 you referenced. You do need to consult the owners manual of your vehicle to be certain you do no exceed any weight limits or other restrictions by using a kayak carrier. Especially if you have the glass roof model MKZ's. If you do not have a factory roof rack with crossbars I do not have an option for you as none of the roof...

Can the Saris Bones 2 Trunk Carrier be Safely used on a 2018 Lincoln MKZ
Saris test fit their Bones trunk rack part # SA805BL on your 2018 Lincoln MKZ and found that it fit and worked well without damaging anything. You'd just need to stay under the capacity of the rack at 35 lbs per bike and keep the painted surface of the vehicle clean to prevent scratching. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube...

This kit is for a RV with a 7 round adapter and will make the Lincoln MKZ mirror the turn, stop and tail lights of the motor home. If your motorhome has a 4 flat connector you would need The Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154. The # C56258 is used...

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid for Carrying Bike Rack
For a trailer hitch that fits your 2014 Lincoln MKZ hybrid we have the Draw Tite part # 24897 as a confirmed fit. It will fit your vehicle easily and work well to carry a bike rack. It's recommended over the Curt that also fits you vehicle as it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. For a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means...
