Few owners will exceed the 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity (when properly equipped) or the 950-pound payload rating of the Lincoln MKX. The Lincoln MKX gets an EPA rating for the front-wheel drive version of 17 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. The optional all-wheel-drive system is appealing for those who regularly battle snowy conditions. We checked out a number of crossovers such as the Murano and Ford Edge. My favorite feature of the MK is the interior, the leather seats and vista sunroof are fantastic. I preferred the look of the MK over the Edge, which was also a nice vehicle. The Murano is very nice, but the styling of the MK is nicer in my opinion. We love to travel and this vehicle is very luxurious on the road and also pretty good on gas, about 24 on the highway
