  • Tow Bar Wiring for 2023 Lincoln Nautilus
  • What you have is the Curt # C49HR which is a 7-way RV to 4-way round. If you don't have a 7-way on your motorhome you will need to add one with the # ETBC7 along with extra wire # 10-2-1. Then you could use the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152. You will also need a battery disconnect # RM-766 if you don't already have one.

  • Best Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Lincoln Nautilus
  • I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e36RR for your 2021 Lincoln Nautilus because it has a matte black finish that matches the trim on your Nautilus and does a better job at hiding any scratches from road debris than the classic glossy finish that you find with other hitches. If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR. This rack was designed for ease of use and it features a unique U-Shaped frame that makes...

  • When is Spacer Plate of Curt Friction Sway Control Used
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt Manufacturing, and was told that the spacer plate of the Curt sway control # 17200 is typically used if you are planning on bolting the ball to the trailer frame (instead of using the self-tapping screws). The ball would be stacked on top of the spacer plate then bolted to the trailer frame.

  • The Draw Tite hitch part # 75234 is the most hidden trailer hitch for your 2020 Lincoln Nautilus. Only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which will give you a mostly hidden look and will also help with ground clearance.

  • Can A 2023 Lincoln Nautilus Be Flat Towed?
  • Hello Raymond, a 2023 Lincoln Nautilus can be flat towed, but only if it is a 2.7L V6. The 2.0L AWD and FWD models cannot be flat towed and must be towed with all 4 wheels off of the ground, such as using a car trailer. If yours is a 2.7L V6, you can flat tow using the manual park release procedure highlighted on page 218 of your owner's manual. You will want to put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. Also, you can never...

  • What is Easiest to Use Base Plate Kit that Fits 2020 Lincoln Nautilus
  • Since you already have a Blue Ox tow bar # BX7420 I would go with the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2680 for your 2020 Lincoln Nautilus. I think the Blue Ox base plate kits are the easiest to use and are definitely the highest quality so this would be the way to go. This would also prevent you from having to use any adapters. The Roadmaster Direct Connect base plates are easier to use but having used them all I would give the edge to the Blue Ox although some might have differing opinions.

  • Will a Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus Block the Hands Free Lift Gate Feature
  • The installation of a trailer hitch on your 2019 Lincoln Nautilus will not have any effect on the ability to use your lift gate. If you are referring to the hands free lift gate feature then what typically happens with this is that you just simply need to place your foot on either side of the receiver tube in order to activate the sensor but it will still work nonetheless. This is the case for pretty much any vehicle with a hands free lift gate feature. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame...

  • Can a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus Be Flat Towed with Pre-Collision Avoidance
  • I checked the owner's manual for a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus and only the models with a 2.7 L engine can be flat-towed, not models with a 2.0 L engine. There is no mention of the pre-collision avoidance feature being an issue so you can still flat tow the vehicle if you have this assuming you have the correct engine size. In order to flat-tow this vehicle you'll need a number of different components of which I have attached below. Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-524461-5 Roadmaster...

  • Troubleshooting Rear Lights On Tow Dolly Not Working When Connected To RV
  • I would be happy to help! Since the tow dolly has built in lights and either a 4-way connector or 7-way connector depending on if the dolly you have has electric brakes or not, there are a few things to test. First using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 you will want to test the connector on your RV to make sure power is making its way through the connector. You will want to have a buddy operate the turn signals, running lights, and brake pedal while you check each of the pins for power. If...

  • Trailer Hitch For 2019 Lincoln Nautilus With Hands Free Lift Gate Sensors
  • On vehicle's that have rear lift gate sensors like the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus the installation of a trailer hitch blocks one or more of the sensors.
