  • The maximum width tire that will work with the Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack # C18087-FB is 4.88" inches. If you need a compatible hitch on your 2014 Ford Focus that works with the Trail Rider, the fitments depend on what kind of model of Focus you have.

  • Dimensions Of The Everchill RV Mini Fridge Main Body
  • The body (not including the door) of the Everchill RV Mini Refrigerator # 324-000109 is 19-1/4" deep. The real issue isn't with the depth but more so with the door being able to open, you could essentially have the entire fridge and door in the hole if you had enough clearance for the door. You would need roughly an 1" to 1-1/2" of clearance on the side to allow the door room to open. The fridge breathes through the opening in the lower back panel, and speaking from experience you'll...

  • Can 2006 Ford Focus Handle 191-lb Weight of Mobility Chair & Hitch Carrier
  • The combined weight of your mobility scooter and its carrier, 87-kg or 191-1/2-lbs, is just within the tongue weight (TW) rating of the light-duty Class I hitches offered for this vehicle. All hitch fits are shown on the linked page and these vary based on the specific version of the Focus you have.

  • Towing 1000 lb Maximum PWC and Trailer with 2008 Ford Focus
  • The Draw-Tite Class I hitch you referenced, part # 24805 would have a 2000 lb towing and 200 lb tongue weight capacity. Although the hitch would be physically capable of towing your PWC trailer, you will be limited to the capacity of the lowest rated component in the towing system. The decision is ultimately yours, but I cannot personally recommend anything that would contradict the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. If you decide to tow your PWC, you'd also need the following: Trailer...

  • How to Transport 4 Bikes on a 2013 Ford Focus With a Class I Hitch
  • Thank you for your recent hitch purchase from etrailer. The hitch # C11158 you selected, a 1-1/4-inch light-duty Class I type from Curt, is the only type offered for your 2013 Ford Focus, and you are correct that such a hitch can safely transport only 2 bikes at a time, even if the bike rack itself can hold more. In order to transport 4 bikes on this vehicle you will need to find an alternative location for the 3rd and 4th bikes. A roof rack will give you the additional 2-bike capacity...

  • How to Carry a 222 Pound Motorcycle with a 2006 Ford Focus
  • Yes, carrying your motorcycle on a hitch mounted carrier on your 2006 Ford Focus is definitely going to be a problem. You've already come to the answer, the hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds and your motorcycle is more than that. Plus you need to factor in the weight of the motorcycle carrier as well. In addition to that, the hitch may be rated for 200 pounds but according to an online copy of the Focus' owner's manual its maximum tongue weight is even less than that. The...

  • Roof Rack Kayak Carrier for Hobie Oasis Tandem Kayak
  • Some kayak carriers have a finite weight capacity, such as the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 which can handle up to 80-lbs. Since you have a fairly heavy kayak I suggest using a lightweight foam block carrier to keep your total roof weight load within the car's rating. As an example, the Malone # MPG152 features two 18-inch foam blocks and includes load straps and bow/stern tie-downs. If this is not wide enough for the Hobie you might consider using two of a similar smaller foam carrier, such...
