Question:
I need a trailer hitch for our 2016 Lincoln MKT to tow a trailer. What do you have?

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2016 Lincoln MKT is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75679 which is a direct bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required. The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver has a durable powder coating and 2" receiver tube opening for towing or use with hitch mounted accessories. I have attached both an install video and install photo for you as well which as you can see is very doable by yourself.
In order to complete your towing setup you will also need a trailer wiring harness, the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56095 is what I recommend as it is plug and play. I have attached a video on this for you as well. The only other item you might want is the Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 which comes with the hitch balls and ball mounts required.
