How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a compact luxury crossover often lands on a two inch Class 3 receiver for light trailers and racks, then still respects the door-sticker tow limit.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Lincoln MKC in Canada? Start with the model year on the door sticker, then confirm the dedicated CURT Class 3 card before you borrow an Escape or Edge story from the wrong shelf. We stock CURT 13194 for listed 2015 through 2019 MKCs and CURT 56262 as the matching four-flat harness on the same window. That is a clean luxury-crossover hitch-plus-harness path when your year lander exists.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the MKC cards below.

Watch on YouTube →Read the year on the door sticker first. CURT lists a dedicated MKC Class 3 hitch and a dedicated MKC four-flat harness for the full 2015 through 2019 run on this shelf. That is simpler than shared Escape cards — confirm the product-card years anyway.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Dedicated cards | 13194 and 56262 are Lincoln MKC-titled on this store. Still confirm the years printed on each card. |
| Not Corsair | Later Lincoln crossovers use different hitch paths. We do not invent a Corsair lander from this MKC page. |
| Door sticker | Hitch class is not the Lincoln tow limit. Buy to the lower number on the sticker or in the owner manual. |
| Light trailers and racks | Many MKCs tow modestly or carry bike racks. Class 3 still needs level ball-mount height and working lights. |
| Year gap | No post-2019 MKC hitch lander on this store — the nameplate moved on. |
| Escape kept separate | Ford Escape hitch shopping stays on the Escape buyers guide even when platforms feel familiar. |

These are the Lincoln MKC hitch year pages we publish today. Confirm the product-card years before you buy. We do not invent post-2019 pages that are not on this list.

A two inch receiver helps with accessories and light trailers. The door sticker still sets the ceiling.
MKC stopped after 2019. We will not pretend a later Lincoln crossover uses these same landers.
