That choice is not there on the 2017 MKZ

It may not be on your 2017 but it is on mine! ? Read the owners manual man, it is stated in there. ? For whatever reason yours does not have that then off to the dealer is a good idea. Good luck man

Go to your Information Display Controls using the left buttons on steering wheel. Select:  Settings - Vehicle - Windows - Remote. You can now check enable or disable.  Hope that helps. 

Welcome aboard...Very sharp looking ride you got there! Enjoy!

My 2020 has the same color interior.  We love it.

 

Awesome Mustang.?  I love seeing daylight under the front wheels of a streetable car. What are your ¼-mile times and speeds?

Right on, I do like the interior colour as well. Best I have got out of the Mach is 11.55 @117 mph. I'm right at my redline in 4th gear when I cross the 1/4 mile. The 4:56 gear gets me out of the hole very fast and hard but limits my top end as the odd time I hit redline in 4th going through the speed trap. There are a lot faster out there for sure but for what I have done to it and keeping it NA, I'm happy with it. It is a true street/strip car and I still have air conditioning! ? I won Canada's fastest street shoot out in my class and also won 1st place at Detroit Woodward Dream Cruise Mustang Alley Street/Strip class car show. The then vice president of Ford USA gave me my trophy, was cool. Pretty happy with the results. Shines up nice and goes fast!

Nice cars! I have a 2017 Reserve 3.0t AWD for my daily, and 700 hp 2000 Camaro SS for my weekend/summer toy. I had a 400 hp 2004 Mustang gt before my SS as well. Love the new edge style. My buddy just sold his 04 Mach 1 for a C5 Vette. His Mach 1 was pretty sweet. Dark Shadow Grey with bronze painted Mach style wheels 

Man you named a lot of awesome cars in that one sentence! ? HaHa your MKZ is fast and your Camaro is faster, Nice rides you have. Cool on the 04 Mustang and I agree with you on the new edge. Your buddies Mach must have looked nice as well. Keep em shiny side up!

Purchased my 2017 Lincoln MKZ Reserve AWD 2.0L Turbo used from a Ford Lincoln dealer in mid July 2021. Really enjoying the car but missing the nice Weather! Thought I would post a few pics. I did drive it through Winter but not very much as there were not many places to go with the beer bug around! ? Pictures are from July 2021 all washed up. Parking lot picture is from about a month ago after running it through the car wash. Needed to get all the salt and grime off it! Not to bad for a 2017!

My actual Spring/Summer street/strip car is under the cover! ? Will include a pic of me with it not under cover but at the track. My 2003 Mach 1 5 speed with darn near every upgrade for normally aspirated engine (NA). Heads, intake, cams, ported + polished. Complete suspension upgrades, drag shocks/struts, springs, tubular k member, Moser axels, 4:56 gears, Detroit Tru track diff, rev limiter for launching, all welded underneath with full length sub frames, aluminum drive shaft with loop, line lock, drag rims and slicks and more! Bought the Mach brand new in 2003 and been making it faster each year. You name It has probably been done! Wanted to keep it NA and go fast ?

The Weather lately...Darn near white out conditions yesterday, -2C/28F and now today 12C/53F! No snow today but blowing with gusts at 90kms/55 mph! Crazy! Happy motoring to all!

Welcome , nice ride. Enjoy.

gfong ,  My size 245 45 18 .  Tire rack is a great help!

Thanks man, Tire rack and sites like it are nice for information and price. I choose to keep it local for purchases but I do use the tire sites for info. I did check with Michelin and they do not make a OEM size for my 19" rim. They said they are expanding sizes in the future.

Will decide if I'm staying on the ones I have or grabbing the Continentals as they have my size and have great reviews. Thanks again and sorry for taking your post off track a bit!

Back to your post with the Michelin CrossClimate 2's... The internet is going crazy with loving these tires! Good pick for sure!

When I went to check I could not find the proper size for my 2017 MKZ Reserve which is P245/40WR19. I know you have a 2018, am curious what size are you running and do you have 19" rims? Glad the tires are working out for you. I looking at the Continental Extreme Contact DWS-06 Plus or the Michelin CrossClimate 2 as the dealer that I purchased the car from put new Antares Ingens A1 245/40ZR19 M&S on. They are all season so I may try this Winter with them, shame to swap them out since they are so new.

I have only owned my 2017 with 19" rims for under 6 months but when I was looking for a used car, curb rash was extreme on most of the rims I looked at. Most of them were 19" as I wanted a Reserve. I know a lot of the damage is driver error by getting to close to curb and such but how the tire sits in on the rim and not protecting the rim edge is not ideal IMO.

Directly to your question my car has original 19" stock reserve rims and they are fine except for some road rash as I described above. They seem solid!

2017-2020 MKZ... Have to agree the front grill is eye catching and the rear end is what sold me on the car (as far as styling). I have a 2017 MKZ that I just picked up this year, so hoping to keep it for a few years and then find a nice low km 2020 MKZ on the used market in 2023/2024.

Welcome aboard, nice looking ride, enjoy!

Same thought as bbf2530 when you posted it. Looks good ..now on to the Red! ?

Looks great man. Nice upgrade!

Always go with black all weather mats.  I had the gray Weathertech mats in my truck, since the carpets are gray.  They always looked dirty, the black mats hide those nasty scuff marks.  Sold those gray Weathertech mats as soon as my black Husky Liners arrived.

Cool, never thought of it that way. Looks like black it is for the matts. Thanks all.

My car has the Terra Cotta leather/black carpet mats and carpeting combination.  I'd stick with the black all-weather mats.  I have the Lincoln all-weather mats as well, but only use them if there's snow on the ground. 

Right on, appreciate the info. Lincoln did do a nice job of colour coordinating with the Terracotta and black interior as well as the other interiors. Think I will leave well enough alone! thanks again

I will second the motion to stick with black. I never thought of switching out the mats by season. I kept the Weather Techs from my old MKZ and put them in the new one but maybe I will go back and forth based on the season as well. 

Thanks for the opinion, much appreciated. I have a street/strip car (under cover in last pic) that I drag race and do car shows with so I am always tinkering with practical and what looks good. As far as matts go, switching out for the seasons is just a thing for me I guess. I just picked up the MKZ (used) a couple months ago so will be using the Weathertech for sure come Winter time. If it is to crappy out I stay in, the boy's at the coffee shop wont miss me for a few days! ?

Hi Greg. Your car looks nice!

 

Personally, I would stick with the black mats, so that they simply match/blend in with the black carpet.

 

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Thanks for the comments man, much appreciated. I'm leaning towards the black mats as well. ?

Congrats on the trade up. Happy Motoring.

Hi all, looking for opinions or experience on what other owners have done with interior colours and floor matts or coverings?

My car is a 2017 Lincoln MKZ 2.0L AWD.

Exterior colour: White Platinum Metallic-Tri-coat

Interior: Terracotta coloured perforated seats.

Accent Trim: Brown Swirl Walnut along with oem black carpet.

I live in South Western Ontario, Canada, 2 hours east of Detroit, Michigan, so 4 season weather is what I drive in. For Fall/Winter I have the Weather Tech form fitted black plastic matts for the front and stock oem carpeted matts for the rear. I am more interested in keeping the carpets clean and dry during the inclement months so colour is not a factor. I am going to order the oem Lincoln MKZ logo floor liner tray style (Part # HP5Z-5413300-DA) for the back, even though I have never had anyone in the back (yet). ?

Now to the question! ? I am going to purchase a new set of 4 oem Lincoln MKZ matts to use other than in the Winter time and I can either purchase a set of Black oem matts or Espresso colour (Same Part # HP5Z-5413300-CB need to choose colour). I am finding it hard to actually see the espresso colour even though I have searched on google. I think it is a dark brown and not a reddish brown colour like the terracotta. Not sure they would go well with the Terracotta seats and walnut trim with black carpet and trim. My other thought is to leave it like I got it as the floor carpeting is black and the factory did a nice job of contrasting the black and the terracotta colour.

Anyone else do some colour changes inside or have the Espresso colour matts or any other style that you like in your car? Any thoughts?

Included pics of driver side/passenger side and open doors view to show the mixture of Black and Terracotta colour my car has. Of course it the matts were Terracotta I would get them without a 200 word essay! ?

This is not a do or die situation for me and I am more making conversation on here as I am new and just looking to participate and of course looking forward to reading your opinions.

Thanks for reading, Greg

Welcome, happy motoring!

Congrats man, car looks nice.

Thanks for the hello's! Appreciated!

It's a 2017 White with Tera Cotta interior, 2.0T AWD, Reserve model with stock 19' rims. Has the Revel standard audio system and does not have a sun roof or pano roof. For options the sticker states Interior climate package, White tri coat paint, block heater, multi contour seats and a front license plate bracket! lol

It has 46,000 miles on it. Picked it up for what I think was a good price and hopefully will have a few years of happy worry free motoring.

Congrats , have fun with it.

Hi all!

Greg here, just purchased a used 2017 MKZ Reserve from where I live in Ontario, Canada. Looking forward to participating online when I can and getting some great info from the people on the forum. Thanks for the welcome.
