Features to know about

Haul Small Trailers and Gear with Confidence: Class II Strength and 1-1/4" Receiver

This hitch is built for light to moderate towing and everyday utility. With a 3,500 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 350 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s perfectly suited for hauling small campers, boats, or utility trailers. The sturdy, square-tube design gives you dependable strength for towing or attaching cargo baskets and bike racks without flex or wobble.

Clean Look and More Clearance: Concealed Cross Tube Design

The cross tube tucks up behind the bumper so only the receiver is visible. That means a cleaner appearance and better ground clearance when backing up or pulling into driveways. It keeps your setup looking neat and out of the way whether you’re towing or carrying gear on a rack.

Simple DIY Install: Custom Fit and Bolt-On Setup

You don’t need special tools or welding to get this hitch on your vehicle. It’s a custom fit that bolts up using factory-style attachment points, so alignment is precise and no drilling is required. The complete hardware kit and detailed instructions make it realistic for a single-person install in a driveway with basic tools.

Built to Last: Fully Welded Steel with Gloss Black Powder Coat

The hitch is crafted from fully welded steel and finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer for superior rust resistance. That finish keeps the metal protected through years of weather and road grime while maintaining a clean look under the bumper.

Super easy install. Took maybe 45 minutes. Hardest part (as always) is trying to find the right height blocks to support one end of the hitch while bolting the other side in. Definitely would be easier with two people, nbut if you know how to improvise, one person can handle it.

2010 Lincoln MKS

This Curt trailer hitch fit my 2010 Lincoln MKS perfect, I did watch the video provided by etrailer.com two weeks before receiving the hitch and Curt wiring harness. Currently haven't installed the pigtail harness and just using the hitch for my recumbent trike. Once again etrailer.com came through for me delivering another well deserved 5 star rating!!!

etrailer is smart. They ask for a review a year later and not 10 minutes after you buy the product. That gives you a chance to install it and use it. This receiver has done as I expected. It was an easy install and works well. The only downside to date was me. I left the hitch attached to the car/receiver and a guy walked around my car, kind of close to it and tripped over the ball mount/draw bar. Ouch!!
Love etrailer and my hitch assembly.

Trailer went off without a hitch! After 1 year of ownership through the winter snows and salted roads it shows no sign of wear or oxidation. It is used mainly for light duty for a hitch mounted bicycle rack. No complaints, solid, sturdy and durable. Great stuff from Curt.

by: Joe 06/17/2022

The installation process is great. Simple, not too difficult even if you don't have a friend to help. I pretty much used my hydraulic jack as my extra hands and heavy lifting. Now time to start hauling. ;-) Thank you etrailer.

Product is great, the instructional email with all the helpful links arrived 24 hours after I installed the product.

Perhaps send that email out immediately to future customers.

Installation Instructions For Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 118471 For 2010 Lincoln MKS
We do not have a video of the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118471 on a 2010 Lincoln MKS, but I did attach the written instructions for you to take a look at. If you are still undecided on a trailer hitch receiver, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12088 you were looking at is a great option as it will only have the receiver exposed once installed as you can see in the included picture, and it will be great for light...

Is There a Class III 2 Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Lincoln MKS for 2 Bike Rack
The only trailer hitch receiver option we offer for a 2014 Lincoln MKS is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12088 which is a class II, 1-1/4". There are bike racks like the Hollywood Racks which work with both 1-1/4" and 2" such as the Curt part # C18085. If you don't have one of these, you'll need a hitch expander like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 80303 just keep in mind your capacity will be reduced by 50%.

Parts Needed To Haul a 295LB Dirt Bike With a 2014 Lincoln MKS AWD Ecoboost
You are going to need a Trailer # K2MMT4X6 to haul your dirt bike behind your 2014 Lincoln MKS. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12088 which fits your MKS has a 1-1/4" receiver and Dirt Bike Racks # e56UR are going to be for fitting a 2" receiver. The trailer will also better carry the weight of the dirt bike and other gear you will be taking since your MKS was not designed for hauling large heavy objects. This reduces rear sag on your suspension too since you will only be carrying a...

What is The Highest Rated Hitch for a 2010 Lincoln MKS
The only trailer hitch receiver they make for your 2010 Lincoln MKS is a Class II receiver with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening like the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch part # C12088. If you needed to use this hitch with an accessory that has a 2" shank then you will also need an adapter like part # HTAD but please keep in mind that using this adapter will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. You will also need the support strap part # 18050 while using the Curt hitch for any...

Recommended Hitch for a 2014 Lincoln MKS
To add a hitch to your 2014 Lincoln MKS, I recommend the Curt item # C12088. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your MKS with included hardware. This is a class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the Curt Hitch item # C12088 because the crosstube installs behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only helps with ground clearance but also looks better. I have linked an...
