Will Trailer Hitch from Buick Enclave Fit Lincoln MKX  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Class III # 75528 and the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # 13424, which are the available trailer hitches confirmed to fit the 2014 Buick Enclave, are compatible with certain model years of the GMC Acadia, Saturn Outlook and the Chevy Traverse. However, the trailer hitch on your Buick Enclave will not fit your new Lincoln MKX, as the body styles are simply too different between the vehicle models.

If you are able to tell me the year of your Lincoln MKX, I will be happy to recommend a trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit.

For your 2017 Lincoln MKX, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75234. This is a very nice, Class III hitch that will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and a towing capacity of 4,500 pounds. You will just want to check the vehicle's capacity as listed in the owner's manual, as this may be the limiting factor. You will simply need to follow the capacity of whichever is lower, the hitch or the vehicle. The reason I recommend this over the Curt model that is also confirmed to fit, is because unlike Curt, Draw-Tite does not require the use of additional stabilizing straps for non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers. This trailer hitch is custom-fit for this vehicle and will use existing holes in the frame for a no-drill installation. I have attached the written installation instructions and a video on the 2016 MKX that you can use for reference. If you will be doing any towing, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118682 to install a 4-Way trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle. This custom-fit harness will connect to existing ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. I have attached the installation details for you to check out. Lastly, if you do not already have a ball mount, I have included an article that explains how to choose the correct size to tow your trailer level. I have also attached a link that will take you to our available selection for you to look through.
