Can A 2023 Lincoln Nautilus Be Flat Towed?
Question:
Can a 2023 Nautilus Lincoln be towed
asked by: Raymond S
Helpful Expert Reply:
Hello Raymond, a 2023 Lincoln Nautilus can be flat towed, but only if it is a 2.7L V6. The 2.0L AWD and FWD models cannot be flat towed and must be towed with all 4 wheels off of the ground, such as using a car trailer.
If yours is a 2.7L V6, you can flat tow using the manual park release procedure highlighted on page 218 of your owner's manual. You will want to put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. Also, you can never exceed 65 MPH. I do encourage you to thoroughly read the "towing your vehicle" section of your owner's manual.
For a full flat tow setup, I recommend the following parts:
Base Plate - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e67FV
Tow Bar - etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e84ZR
Tow Bar Wiring - Roadmaster Diode Kit # RM-15267
Braking System - Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700
You will also need:
Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766
Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751475
