Question:

Expert Reply:
No drilling is required on the 2015 Lincoln MKC to install Curt trailer hitch # C13194. But access holes may need to be enlarged which can be done with a drill or rotary tool. You could also use hand tools such as a file to enlarge the holes. I have included a link to the instructions for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And for a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118284 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle.
