Is Trimming Required to Install Draw Tite Hitch part # 75943 on a 2016 Lincoln MKC
Question:
Hi, Will the rear valance, bumper or any other cladding at the rear of the vehicle need to be cut in order to install and use the hitch? Thanks!

I checked the install instructions for the Draw Tite hitch part # 75943 and there is no rear valance or fascia trimming at all. The only modification needed is that the holes in the frame have to be slightly enlarged to allow the hitch hardware to fit in.
For trailer wiring you would need the part # C59496.
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 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
