Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid for Carrying Bike Rack

Question:

Hey there. Just wanted to see if there is a hitch to fit my car Lincoln MKZ Hybrid 2014 ? I like the thought of being able to get into my trunk with a hitch type carrier versus the ones that latch onto your trunk. Please advise! Thanks so much!

For a trailer hitch that fits your 2014 Lincoln MKZ hybrid we have the Draw Tite part # 24897 as a confirmed fit. It will fit your vehicle easily and work well to carry a bike rack. It's recommended over the Curt that also fits you vehicle as it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack.

For a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX 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 be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform rack.

This rack also only touches bikes at the tire so it protects any damage to delicate frame materials or finishes.
