When installing Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13067, on your 2008 Lincoln MKX, the rear bumper/fascia does not have to be trimmed but there is a heat shield underneath the vehicle that will need to be trimmed. According to the installation instructions, which I have linked for you, there is only a small tab on each heat shield (2 total) that need to be trimmed.
You are correct about having a class III hitch. The extra capacity will be handy and you will have more options in terms of accessories.... view full answer...
use the green or blue wire on the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, # RM-88400 depending on if you have a push button start or not. Black wire is to the brake light signal, red wire to the fuse, white to ground. Please review the attached installation video for further information. view full answer...
The diodes in the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15267, will not interfere with the light diagnostic system in your 2016 Lincoln MKX. The diodes actually protect the system from electical feedback and the damage the extra wiring could cause to your vehicle's electical components if they were not installed.

The Draw Tite hitch # 75234 which is a fit for your 2016 Lincoln MKX is a great choice and to find an installer you'd want to find a local mechanic to you with a good reputation and let them tackle the job. Hitch installs are very basic for mechanics compared to what they normally deal with. view full answer...
On the Hopkins tow bar wiring harness # HM56002 on your 2011 Lincoln MKX you will have to cut off the 4-Way flat end and hardwire each of the wires to the back of the 6-Way contained in kit # RM-98146-7. I have included a link to a help article that shows how various connectors are wired including a 6-Way and 7-Way to help. Remember that the 6-Way end at the front of the Lincoln is a vehicle side and not a trailer side. view full answer...
Yes, the Replacement Towed Vehicle Installation Kit part # SM99226 will allow you to transfer the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes part # SM99243 from the 2013 Lincoln MKX to your 2017 Chevrolet Traverse. The air cylinder, air cylinder brackets, and operating unit will need to be transferred from the old vehicle.
In regards to converting the 2013 Lincoln MKX back to stock, you would simply need to replace the t-fitting (if present) that was... view full answer...
It sounds like you're talking about the video of the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part # 75234, being installed on a 2016 Lincoln MKX. At the 5:23 mark the installer removes the fascia piece that I believe you're referring to. This part is not reinstalled back on the vehicle. It isn't shown or mentioned in the vehicle but the install details, which I've linked on this page, do mention it on the note in Step 1. When the install details state to return a part that was taken off to... view full answer...
Lets start with the trailer connector. I can tell you what the functions are so it will be easy to connect to the lights once we determine their functions.
On a 4-Way, you will have one pin that is covered. That is the ground. Right next to it is the running light pin. Then the left turn/brake light pin. And the last pin is right turn and brake lights.
Now, on the lights, since the common wire on both sides is red, I am inclined to believe this is the running light wire. What you will... view full answer...
The Inno Aero roof rack you'd looked at consists of the following parts:
• 45 Inch Inno Aero Crossbars, part # INXB115-2
• Inno Flush Roof Rack Feet, part # INXS200
• Inno Custom Fit Clamp Kit, part # INK759
The rack attaches to the roof via clamps that grab the top of the door jambs. This arrangement works extremely well and allows the rack to have a pretty generous 165 lb capacity. The bottom of the feet and the clamps are rubber coated so they won't scratch up the vehicle.

On a vehicle that has rear lift gate sensors to automatically open the rear hatch or trunk, hitch installation can sometimes block one or more of the centrally positioned sensors. This means that to activate this function after hitch installation you will just want to use the sensors on the outside portions of the rear bumper.
The two 2-inch hitch options for your 2016 Lincoln MKX, Draw-Tite # 75234 and Curt # C78KR, are both shown on the linked page. Since both have similar installation... view full answer...
The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 is just what you need to install a 7-way on a 2013 Lincoln MKX with existing 4-way like the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56121. There would not be any issues with the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 either. It should have come with a hardwire harness but if you no longer have this the Pigtail Wiring Harness for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controllers part # 7894 will work.

The pictures you have seen for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75992, are of the hitch installed on a Ford Edge. The Edge shares the same platform as the Lincoln MKX, so the appearance of the trailer hitch will be very similar. The cross tubing should be concealed by the rear lower fascia. I have included a link to the installation details. To make the hitch, including the receiver virtually invisible, I recommend the Lincoln Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover, # AUT-LINC-B, and hitch lock # e98880... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75992 does state to use a 7/16 inch drill bit in the instructions. This is engineers helping with installation instructions for precision but you are correct most people will use a 1/2 inch bit or use a Dremel tool to slightly enlarge it. We reference this at the 5:35 mark of the attached video we used a 1/2 inch drill bit for installation. view full answer...
Yes! The front and back parts of the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 can be easily flipped so that the bike rack can be used on either side of the vehicle. This rack comes assembled aside from the T-Bolts or clamps (depending on what type of roof rack you have) and it is ready to go for the passenger side. I've actually flipped it a few times myself so I can verify personally that it isn't very difficult.

Installation time for the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate # RM-524447-4 on the 2018 Lincoln MKX will be approximately 4 hours for an experienced installer and naturally longer for a first-time installer.
This kit is recommended by Roadmaster for professional installation but I linked a video and the written instructions to help you see the whole process so you can determine for yourself a realistic install time.
Installation time for the wiring options for the MKX will vary depending on the... view full answer...
To use the Prodigy RF controller part # TK94FR you would not need to run the blue, brake output circuit at all. That circuit is for a brake controller installed in the vehicle. All you need to have connected on a 7-way adapter like the part # 37185 is the 12 volt circuit up to the battery through a circuit breaker like part # 9510.
I attached an install video for the controller for you to check out as well. view full answer...
It's probably a safe bet that it's going to take 4+ hours to complete everything, assuming that you don't run into any issues along the way.
Depending on where you live and where you're towing, State laws may require you to have a supplemental braking system for your toad. I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO proportional system # SM99251 . This will apply the brakes of your tow vehicle in proportion to the braking used on your motorhome, which is for added safety and to reduce the wear... view full answer...
Yes, you are correct. Item # RM-524447-4 does require an external crossbar on your 2017 Lincoln MKX, which comes with certain compatible tow bars like Item # RM-522. The crossbar in some ways can be easier to use because you pull a clip from each side and the crossbar stays connected to the tow bar. When disconnecting from the vehicle, you just lift the crossbar off the brackets and fold the tow bar and crossbar up and store it as one unit on the back of the motor home. The tow bar can... view full answer...
We haven't tested that specific situation but if you check out the attached road test video you can get a pretty good idea of what kind of view you will get when using the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2 to tow your 20' pontoon boat with your 2010 Lincoln MKX. view full answer...
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118519 is a great option for a 2012 Lincoln MKX. It is a powered harness as are all the options for this vehicle therefore you'd need to run a power wire to the battery in order for the trailer lights to work. This takes the strain off the factory lighting circuits.
In order to complete your towing setup I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75992 and etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900. view full answer...
