How Can I Carry Skis On My 2017 Lincoln MKZ With A Panoramic Roof

Question:

I have a 2017 Lincoln MKZ with a panoramic roof. Is there an option where I could put a roof rack on? Just need to be able to carry a couple of sets of skis. Thanks

Unfortunately, we do not have a roof rack option for your 2017 Lincoln MKZ with the panoramic roof. However, if you have a hitch receiver you do have another option. If you combine the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting, part # Y02458, and the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier for Hitch Bike Racks - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards, part # Y02418, you will have a ski rack that is compatible with 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. You will be able to carry up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards.

If you do not have a hitch receiver either of the following will work for your vehicle. If you have all wheel drive and the EcoBoost Engine, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4", part # C12164, is a good option. If you have all wheel drive without the EcoBoost engine, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4", part # C12091, would fit your vehicle. Each of these hitch receivers have a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs and a maximum gross tow weight of 3,500 lbs.

I have included product description links and video review links below.
