  • Recommendation For Trunk Mount 2-Bike Rack For 2015 Lincoln MKZ
  • The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack, Item # TH45JV, is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Lincoln MKZ. It has a premium cradling system, adjustable arms, and 2 Sure-Tight retractable cables with hooks to anchor the bike rack to your trunk for greater security and stability. Thule is a top-rated rack maker and many of our customers like this product because of the extra care put into protecting their trunk and the rear of their vehicle from damage or scratches.

  • Can a 2009 Lincoln MKZ Pull a Pop-Up Camper
  • In order to tow a trailer with a 2009 Lincoln MKZ you'll need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. I will attach a list below with each of these options. In regards to capacity and compatibility, you'll have to refer to your copy of the owner's manual for this which should be located in the glove box. We cannot recommend deviating from the manufactures instructions. Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11329 Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2015 Lincoln MKZ
  • For your 2015 Lincoln MKZ, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24897. Unlike the Curt model that is also confirmed to fit your vehicle, the installation of this hitch will allow you to trim and reinstall the underbody panel/fascia for accommodation with the hitch receiver and crosstube. On the Curt model, this panel is completely removed and cannot be reinstalled. This Class I hitch will use existing holes in your Lincoln's frame for a no-drill installation....

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
  • I would recommend you go with a Class II hitch over a Class I hitch. The capacities will be higher and more hitch accessory options will be available. For example, with a Class I hitch you can only carry up to 2 bikes, whereas with a Class II you can carry up to 4. I attached a help article that covers the differences between hitch classes for you to check out as well. For a hitch I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C12091. This is a Class II hitch that would work well towing a trailer...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Is There Better Value Brake Controller than Redarc Tow Pro Elite
  • The Tow Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR is a really great brake controller that would work really well in your Winnebago Adventurer with the tow dolly you mentioned that has electric brakes, but if you wanted the best value you'd want the Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR which comes in at a much better price due to it not having the time delayed option of the Elite. The proportional setting would be what you'd want to use and is in every way better than time delayed so it doesn't make...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Lincoln MKZ that Allow Reinstallation of Lower Fascia
  • For the Curt hitch part # C12091 for your 2017 Lincoln MKZ Curt decided to recommend removal of the lower fascia instead of trimming it and reinstalling it. They don't have recommendation on how to trim the fascia to get the hitch to fit but I am sure that if you wanted to come up with a way to trim it like the Draw Tite part # 24897 I am sure you could pretty easily. That being said I would recommend the Draw Tite over the Curt because the Draw Tite does not require the use of a stabilizer...

  • 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. You will be able to carry up to...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  • The roof rack I recommend for a 2017 Lincoln MKZ is the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System which consist of part # Y00425, part # Y28TR, part # Y06110, and part # Y06102. This is an aero bar system which works great with most wrap-around style rooftop mounted accessories but can also be used with channel mounted accessories due to the integrated channels. The aero bar design also makes for the least amount of wind noise and best possible mpg's. Please note, modes with panoramic roofs are...

  • Trailer Hitch and 4 Bike Carrying Recommendation for 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  • The Curt # C11329 is indeed a fit for your 2009 Lincoln MKZ. This would work great for you. You can use an adapter like # HTAD, but there's 2 problems with doing that. Both the hitch and bike rack manufacturers state that no more than 2 bikes should be carried in a bike rack used in a Class I hitch. Adding a 3rd and 4th bike moves too much weight too far away from the hitch receiver tube which can apply enough leverage to damage the hitch or cause the attachment points to the vehicle...

  • Can 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid be Flat Towed
  • You'll have to go with exactly what the owners manual of your 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid states for flat towing procedures. I checked an owners manual for your vehicle and since it's front wheel drive it can easily be towed safely on a dolly. The steering wheel of your vehicle does need to be locked otherwise the vehicle will pivot on the dolly and the fenders will hit the body of the vehicle. You would not want to do this with a steering wheel. It should lock when the vehicle is in park.

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2015 Lincoln MKX with Spoiler
  • For your 2015 Lincoln MKX with spoiler, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers # HRF2-3. This bike carrier is specifically designed for and works very well for applications like yours. Along with this rack, I recommend the # e98891 cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack and # TH533 to secure the rack to your locked hatch. I also recommend the adapter bar # 64005 for any step through frames and the front tire loops # SR54FR to keep the tire...

  • Tow Bar Wiring Kit for 2013 Lincoln MKZ
  • Since you have a 6-way connection that you want to plug tow bar wiring into the correct kit you'd need is the part # RM-152, for the 6-way socket part # RM-910030-7, and then for the mounting bracket # RM-910030-5.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Lincoln MKZ
  • For your 2018 Lincoln MKZ the best hitch is the Curt Class II part # C12091. I recommend this hitch because it is made in the US, has a concealed crosstube which makes it less visible, and because it has highest capacity.
