It sounds like you have not yet purchased. When you do if the dealer has multiple dollies on the lot they will more than likely have the different style straps. Make sure they give you the correct straps for your car. I had to take a trip back to the dealer because the straps they gave me initially were the non-adjustable straps which fit up to 16 inch wheels and tires. I needed the ring adjustable straps which fit up to 18 inch wheels and tires. Although the buckle adjustable straps would fit my Fusion they did not fit my Flex. The ring adjustable straps fit the wheels and tires for both cars.
For the MKZ, plan on using some type of ramp extension to get the front wheels up before rolling onto the dolly ramps. I use the leggo style leveling blocks which I have from my class c days. Using these will ensure you do not scrape the front body molding or air dam when driving onto the dolly. Lesson learned the hard way on the Fusion.
Also, if you purchase the spare tire and mount option, before loading the car the first time I recommend removing the tire from the mount before loading the car. Then after the car is loaded make sure the mount is far enough forward so the car does not hit the spare tire whenever it is loaded or as you are going through dips in the road. I had to move mine about two inches forward for clearance.
FWIW, I added a boat landing leg, from Bass Pro Shops, to my dolly to make it easier to maneuver around the yard when not in use. Here is a pic of the setup. I do need to pull it into the driveway for a good wash and wax.
