RV Car Boat Typical trailers
Choose a towing vehicle wisely. Make sure the engine has enough power, the gearbox is capable of withstanding heavy loads, and the axle ratio is optimal for hauling.
It is the same for all trims.
The maximum weight that Lincoln MKX is allowed to tow. The maximum trailer weights listed are only applicable for altitudes up to 3280 ft (1,000 m) above sea level. With increasing altitude the engine power and therefore the car's climbing ability are impaired because of the reduced air density, so the maximum trailer weight has to be reduced accordingly. The weight of the car and trailer must be reduced by 10% for every further 3280 ft (1,000 m) (or part thereof).
This is the maximum amount of weight Lincoln MKX is rated to carry (engine, chassis, fluids, passengers, cargo, load - everything). It is often determined by the manufacturer and is indicated in the owner's manual or on the inside of the drive's door panel.
This is how much Lincoln MKX weighs sitting on the curb with no driver, passengers, no cargo and no load with all standard options.
Payload is considered all the extra stuff you put inside your vehicle, whether it be passengers or a pile of rocks, that weight is all considered payload. You can increase it by:
The higher the power of your engine, the more weight your car can pull.
High torque is essential for towing because it allows you to pull the trailer at a lower RPM, reducing the strain on the engine.
The higher the axle ratio, the more power your vehicle produces, and as a result, the more weight this car can tow.
All-wheel or rear-wheel drive vehicles are best suited for towing, while front-wheel drive vehicles can haul much less weight.
Do not overload your vehicle while towing, as this can cause the transmission to overheat and fail. If your transmission has "Towing mode" - be sure to turn it on.
Turbocharged engines produce more power, so if you need a vehicle for towing, choose the one equipped with a turbo.
The longer your vehicle's wheelbase, the less likely the trailer you tow will push down on the rear axle and lift the front end.
It is the maximum allowable weight that can be placed on a front axle of your Lincoln MKX.
It is the maximum allowable weight that can be placed on a rear axle of your Lincoln MKX.

When going for family trips outside, you need to bear in mind the 2017 Lincoln MKX towing capacity, which is the most important quality for such adventure. The towing capacity in reality is the vehicle's highest volume of weight that it can safely tow. These details can normally be seen on a sticker situated within the driver's front door near the door latch. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the optimum operating weight (that includes freight and passengers) and should not be violated. As a good rule of thumb, the body weight of any trailer being pulled is required to stay within 10-15 % of the GVWR.
Beneath, we list the info on the towing capacity of the 2017 Lincoln MKX with all trims and generations. You should be aware the maximum towing weight could differ based on the braking system of what is being towed. If a trailer features its own brakes then its "braked capacity". Otherwise, it is unbraked capacity. When reviewing options for your RV, you should understand that its weight and ranking is extracted from the trailer's producer plus all the added payload you are going to put in it needs to never exceed the 2017 Lincoln MKX towing capacity. Violating this crucial guideline will impact your ability to control and stop just in time and will someday lead to long lasting injury to your car or even lead to accidents on the streets.
