Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking System BLU37TR will work on your 2016 Lincoln MKX. In addition to a supplemental braking system, there are a few more parts you will need in order to flat tow your 2016 Lincoln MKX.
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524447-4: These will give your MKX a clean look when the tabs are not installed, as you can see by the accompanying photo, which is a cut out of the linked install video of these base plates on a 2016 Lincoln MKX.
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522: The Falcon is a great option because it has long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing your Lincoln
- Safety Chains: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267: This is a reliable wiring option because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your Lincoln's electrical systems safe. I have added a link to a video install of this kit on an MKX for you to check out.
- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400: This kit is required with the Patriot because it prevents your Lincoln's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV.
You may also need a high-low adapter in order to keep your 2016 Lincoln MKX level, and I've added a link to a help article which shows you how to determine if you need an adapter as well as a link to our selection of adapters. Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at.
