Helpful Expert Reply:
If you have a 2 inch hitch on your 2013 Lincoln MKZ and the distance from the center of the hitch pin to the furthest point out on the rear bumper is less than 6 inches then the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 that you referenced would work on your vehicle.
Now for a weather proof bag that would fit well on this cargo carrier I would recommend the etrailer Cargo Bag part # e98990. For a theft deterrent you could use the Cable Lock for Rightline Cargo Bags part # RL100640.
To secure the bag to the carrier I would recommend a stretchable cargo net like the Curt Stretchable Cargo Net # C18202.
I attached review videos for all the mentioned products for you to check out.
