Capture.JPG It's really not the 2.7 per se - it's the Sport bodywork that doesn't allow for the hitch. And maybe the tires. You can easily add an aftermarket hitch if you don't need to tow more than 2000 lbs. I did a Hidden Hitch on our MKX and it looks good and doesn't interfere with the kick sensor either.

I am betting it is the wheels and tires. You can easily add an aftermarket hitch if you don't need to tow more than 2000 lbs.

Yes but if you’re towing less than 2000 lbs that isn’t a big issue. Some people only use the hitch for a bike rack or luggage carrier.

I could be a big issue, depends on where you need to drag that 2000lbs.... https://www.codot.gov/travel/eisenhower-tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
