Expert Reply:

I checked the owner's manual for a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus and only the models with a 2.7 L engine can be flat-towed, not models with a 2.0 L engine. There is no mention of the pre-collision avoidance feature being an issue so you can still flat tow the vehicle if you have this assuming you have the correct engine size. In order to flat-tow this vehicle you'll need a number of different components of which I have attached below.
