Does Exhaust Need to be Lowered to Install Trailer Hitch on 2019 Lincoln Nautilus
Question:
Hi, I like to install a trailer hitch on my new vehicle. My question is do I need to drop the muffler both in the front and back in order to make clearance to install the hitch? Id like not to remove the rear bumper if I dont have to. Your reply is appreciated!

For your 2019 Lincoln Nautilus we have the Draw-Tite hitch part # 75234 as a confirmed fit. You will not need to remove the rear bumper, however, you will need to remove a fascia panel below the vehicle but that's the extent of that. You will also need to lower the exhaust on both sides to install this hitch.
I've included a link to our installation of this hitch on a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus for you to check out.
