Expert Answers about Lincoln MKX


  • Will the Glacier Cable Chains # PW2029C Give me Enough Clearance on My 2016 Lincoln MKX?
  • I have a really good tire chain solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Pewag (the makers of the tires) that the cables in # PW2029C have a thickness of 12.33mm. This will not give you the 10mm or less that you need for your 2016 Lincoln MKX's front 245/60-18 tires. However, the best option for a 10mm clearance requirement is the Konig Self-Tension, Low-Pro Snow Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - Easy Fit SUV # TH04115250. These particular chains only require 10mm of internal...

  • Do the Removable Arms from Base Plate Kit RM-521448-5 Fit on Base Plate Kit RM-524447-4
  • The flat plate is for a cross bar bracket. The cross bar comes with brackets that mount to the plates on the removable arms. This crossbar comes with the tow bar. The removable arms from the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit RM-521448-5 will not fit the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit RM-524447-4 If you are still wanting to use the same tow bar then I recommend: Replacement Crossbar for Roadmaster Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars Item # RM-067 Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnects...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2017 Lincoln MKX
  • Baseplate installs typically take the better part of a day to complete as you're typically pulling the entire fascia/bumper off and most of the time doing quite a bit of drilling or trimming to get a baseplate like the # BX2673 installed. We typically schedule a full day for baseplates because things don't always want to run smoothly. Your motorhome should have a 7-way on the back of it, if not then you'll need part # ETBC7 and some additional wire # 10-2-1 to run up to the front of the...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C78KR Work With Hands Free Lift Gate Sensor On 2017 Lincoln MKX
  • 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. I included a video of the # C78KR being installed...

  • Do Yakima JetStream Crossbars Fit a 2015 Lincoln MKX with Panoramic Roof
  • Actually, the Yakima JetStream roof rack has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Lincoln MKX with the panoramic roof. You may not be able to open the roof depending on how much clearance there is between it and the bottom of the crossbars or the mounting hardware of anything on the crossbars. So use caution once you have the rack on our Lincoln. You need the 50 inch JetSreams # Y00425 in black. Along with the BaseLine towers, part # Y28TR, and BaseClips, part # Y06180.

  • Fit of Swagman Semi 2.0 Bike Rack on 2013 Lincoln MKX
  • When we installed hitches on a 2013 Lincoln MKX/Ford Edge, we found that the receiver hitch pin hole was recessed under the rear bumper by about 5 inches. This means that in order for the Swagman Semi 2.0 to fit, the distance from the hitch pin hole in the shank to the closest part of the carrier must be greater than 5 inches. The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22G is a similar rack that features lightweight aluminum construction, and includes the hitch and cable lock. The shank on the rack is a...
