Expert Reply:

The Blue Ox base plate kit, part # BX2673 is a fit for a 2016 Lincoln MKX with or without the EcoBoost engine.

If you use the Roadmaster to Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter, part # RM-031, you could indeed use your Falcon 2 tow bar with the Blue Ox # BX2673 base plates.

If you don't already have them, you'll also need safety cables like # RM-643, a lighting solution like the Roadmaster Magnetic Mount Towing Lights, part # RM-2120 and a supplemental braking system like the Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251.

You'll want to check with your Owner's Manual to determine if Lincoln has any specific procedures that must be followed when flat towing the vehicle.
