Lincoln MKX Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Lincoln MKX in Canada? Start with the model year on the door sticker, then pick the CURT Class 3 card that matches that generation before you borrow a plain Edge-only story from the wrong shelf. We stock CURT 13067 for listed 2007 through 2015 MKXs and CURT 13452 for listed 2015 through 2018 MKXs, with CURT 12036 as the Class 2 option on the earlier window. Dedicated MKX four-flats sit beside those hitches as CURT 56121 and CURT 56298 when your years line up.

Built for Canadian Lincoln MKX owners and shops. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts when the SKU is live on this store. New to hitch shopping? Start with the buying guide, how to choose a hitch, and what hitch class do I need. Prefer the full index? Open the towing guides hub.

Which CURT hitch fits your Lincoln MKX

Read the year on the door sticker first. CURT lists MKX beside Edge on these Class 3 cards because the platforms share steel. That shared title is expected. Use the Lincoln MKX year landers on this page when your door sticker says MKX, and still confirm the years printed on each product card.

Class 3 · early generation CURT 13067 Listed 2007 through 2015 Lincoln MKX Class 3 hitch. Confirm the card years before you buy.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Shared Edge titles 13067 and 13452 titles also list Ford Edge years. Lincoln MKX is in fitment when your year lander exists and the card years match.
2015 overlap Both Class 3 cards can touch 2015 depending on the printed window. Open the product card and match the exact years before you buy.
Wiring windows 56121 covers listed 2011 through 2015. 56298 covers listed 2016 through 2018. We do not invent a harness for years outside those cards.
Multi-vehicle 56329 CURT 56329 is a broader Edge Escape Freestar MKX harness listing. Prefer the MKX-titled 56121 or 56298 when your year fits those dedicated cards.
Missing 2012 lander We do not publish a 2012 Lincoln MKX hitch year page on this store today. Neighbouring year landers are not a substitute — ask us if your door sticker says 2012.
Edge kept separate Ford Edge hitch shopping stays on the Edge buyers guide even when the hitch SKUs look familiar.
MKC and Corsair Compact Lincoln crossovers use different paths. MKC has its own guide. We do not invent a Corsair lander from this MKX page.
Door sticker Hitch class is not the Lincoln tow limit. Buy to the lower number on the sticker or in the owner manual.

Year pages we publish for the Lincoln MKX

Year jumps we publish for the Lincoln MKX. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker.

These are the Lincoln MKX hitch year pages we publish today. Confirm the product-card years before you buy. We do not invent a 2012 lander or post-2018 pages that are not on this list.

Two Class 3 cards

Generation split is real

13067 for earlier MKX years, 13452 for later ones. Do not mix the windows just because both say Class 3.

Dedicated harnesses

56121 and 56298

MKX-titled four-flats for the listed windows beat guessing from a multi-vehicle harness title.

Luxury crossover

Modest tow ratings still rule

A two inch receiver helps with accessories and light trailers. The door sticker still sets the ceiling.

Canada shipping
