Expert Answers about Lincoln MKX

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Lincoln MKX
• There are numerous trunk mount bike racks listed as a fit for your f2008 Lincoln MKX. I have included a link to them for you. Out of all the options, the one I recommend the most is the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. I actually own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is the best trunk mount bike rack I have used. What makes it so great, besides the many features like locks, ease of use, and its modern style, are the number of attachments. This rack uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of...

• Parts Needed To Flat-Tow a 2014 Lincoln MKX
• In order to flat tow a 2014 Lincoln MKX you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, supplemental braking system, safety cables, a flat-tow wiring harness, and a few other smaller items. Although we do not sell a complete all inclusive kit, I have attached for you below a list of all the parts that you will need. Roadmaster Base Plate Kit part # 4408-1 (Without Adaptive Cruise Control) or part # 4408-5 (With Adaptive Cruise Control) Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Non-Binding Tow Bar part...

• Yes, the Camco Vinyl Tire Covers # CAM45332 that you referenced will fit your tire size of 205/75-14. These actually can fit tire diameters up to 29 inches so yours being 26.1 inches in diameter would not be an issue at all.

• Bike Adapter Bar Recommendation for Swagman Origninal Bike Carrier
• Yes, there is an adapter that you can use to fit your bike on the Swagman bike carrier # S64400. I recommend bike adapter bar # 64005. I have linked a video showing how it works. Basically, one end clamps around the handle bar gooseneck and the other end around the seat post. This creates an artificial top frame tube to fit the cradles on the carrier.

• Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Lincoln MKX with Sunroof
• From what I know of the 2017 Lincoln MKX is that you have flush rails on your roof. For that reason, you don't need to worry too much about the roof rack making contact with the roof, but more of making sure your accessories and clamps are not in the way. My recommendation for a roof rack is a Yakima Roof Rack System with parts # Y00425, # Y00145, # Y89FR. This kit has 50" Jetstream crossbars # Y00425 which are Yakima's aero style bars which are more aerodynamic and cut down on wind noise...

• Base Plates For 2008 Lincoln MKX With Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar
• We do carry base plates for your 2008 Lincoln MKX with the Roadmaster Falcon tow bar. I recommend the Roadmaster Base Plates, part # 4408-1. These are designed to fit any RoadMaster tow bars and the front arms, on the base plate kit are simple to remove, using hitch pins. Once the front arms have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. There are some other items you will need to complete your towing package. Next, you will need safety cables as required by law. I...

• Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2018 Lincoln MKX
• The roof rack I recommend for your 2018 MKX with a naked roof is the Inno Aero Bar roof rack part numbers # INXB115-2, # INXS200, and # INK676 because this custom fit rack has aero bars which are very quiet, installs very easily, and we know it fits and works well on the MKX as we had the chance to install the rack on one. Check out the linked install video I attached for this rack to see us walk through the install of the rack on a 2015 MKX. Then for a kayak rack I recommend the Yakima...

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Lincoln MKX to Carry a Hollywood Rack # HR1400
• Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap # 18050 would work well on your 2012 Lincoln MKX and would be recommended for any non-supported loads, like a bike rack, with a Curt Class II hitch. However, you will need to get a Class III hitch in order to carry the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4-Bike Carrier # HR1400Z. For that I would recommend you get a Curt Trailer Hitch Class III # C13067. Or, if you do not want to mess with using a stabilizing strap you could get a Draw-Tite Trailer...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Lincoln MKX with Hands-Free Liftgate Feature
• Any trailer hitch that installs on your 2017 Lincoln MKX is going to have a small effect on the vehicle's hand-free liftgate feature, but it will still allow the system to operate. With a hitch installed, you will simply need to wave your foot to either side of the hitch receiver so that the sensor can pick up your movement. For your Lincoln MKX, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75234. This is a Class III hitch that will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2008 Lincoln MKX with Rear Spoiler
• While technically a fit, I do not recommend the Thule Passage # TH911XT for your 2008 Lincoln MKX because of that spoiler. It is not meant to support weight. What I do recommend is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2-3. The Over-The-Top rack was designed specifically for vehicles like yours that have a spoiler. The rack has an upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no weight is put on it. I have linked a video showing how it works. There is nothing...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Lincoln MKX for Bike Rack
• The hitch you mentioned has been discontinued so it's no longer available. The Draw Tite hitch part # 75992 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Lincoln MKX though and would do a great job with a bike rack. You have to use all 6 bolts to install the hitch though. I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll...

• Trailer Hitch Comparison and Recommendation for 2019 Lincoln Nautilus
• For your 2019 Lincoln Nautilus we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 75234 and the Curt # C78KR. The Draw Tite is the winner in my opinion. Like the Curt option, only the hitch opening hangs down below the bumper which gives you a more concealed look. However, the Draw-Tite hitch is considerably lower priced. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4...

• Can Blue Ox EZ Light Wiring Harness Be Installed On 2015 Lincoln MKX With 4-way Connector Installed?
• You sure can. The Blue Ox EZ Light Wiring Harness you mentioned will plug in-between the tail lights and the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle wiring harness you have installed on your 2015 Lincoln MKX, and since they will not be used at the same time you will not have any issues with overloading the wiring. I included a video of the # 118519 being installed for you to take a look at.

• Flush Aero Bar Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Lincoln MKX with Naked Roof
• For an aeroblade style roof rack confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Lincoln MKX with a naked roof the Inno roof rack of part numbers # INXB115-2, # INXS200, and # INK676 would be what you need. This is a flush bar style roof rack which means the crossbars do not extend past the feet at all so the bars match the width of your roof.

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 Lincoln MKX
• The best trunk mounted bike rack for your 2015 Lincoln MKX is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked into position to deter theft of the rack. And there is also an integrated cable lock in the last...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Lincoln MKX
• The owners manual for a vehicle is the final authority on whether it can be flat towed. If it does not make any mention of the steering wheel lock you'd most likely be able to assume that it's fine and you'd not need to worry about it. You can test this by turning the wheel of the vehicle. If it's not locked you're fine as-is. If it is locked you may have to put the ignition in ACC mode which on a push to start vehicle requires pressing the start button without your foot on the brake. For...
