Yes, CURT part number 12096 is designed for 2015-present Lincoln MKC SUVs. Confirm your vehicle matches this year range and model before purchasing.
The CURT 12096 is rated for a maximum of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the final towing limit.
The CURT 12096 is designed for use with ball mount #45521. CURT also offers available Euro ball mounts #45571 (1 7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball) as options.
You will need: torque wrench, ratchet, 6" extension, 13mm socket, 11/16" socket, die grinder, and safety glasses. A die grinder is required to enlarge the access holes in the frame rails.
The manual does not specify battery disconnection as a requirement for this installation.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, CURT recommends contacting an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can call CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 for help.
Yes. You must enlarge the existing access holes in both vehicle frame rails to allow 7/16" carriage bolts and spacers to pass through. A die grinder is required for this modification. The manual lists hole enlargement as one of the key installation challenges.
Yes. You must temporarily lower the exhaust by removing the two 8mm bolts from the muffler bracket on both sides of the vehicle. Retain these bolts for reinstallation. After the hitch is in position, reattach the muffler brackets and torque them to 16 ft-lbs.
All 7/16" carriage bolts and flange nuts must be torqued to 59 ft-lbs.
The muffler bracket bolts must be torqued to 16 ft-lbs after reattachment.
The CURT 12096 includes: 10 bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/4", grade 8, part number 10-10281); 10 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, grade 8, part number 20-00103); 4 square hole spacers 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" (part number CM-SP7); and 4 pieces of 7/16" fishwire (part number 7_16 FISHWIRE).
1. Lower the exhaust by removing the two 8mm bolts from the muffler bracket on both sides. 2. Enlarge the access holes in both frame rails to fit 7/16" carriage bolts. 3. Use fishwire to thread the 7/16" carriage bolts and SP7 spacers through the enlarged holes and out the side mounting holes; leave fishwires attached, raise side plates over them, remove fishwires, and loosely install nuts on both sides. 4. Slide the hitch in from the rear passenger side over the exhaust into position and loosely install the remaining 7/16" carriage bolts and flange nuts. 5. Reattach the muffler brackets and torque to 16 ft-lbs. 6. Torque all 7/16" hardware to 59 ft-lbs.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information about stabilizing straps.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is critical to safe operation.
The manual specifies that you should periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound, but does not define a specific inspection interval. Regular visual inspection before towing is recommended as a best practice.
