Expert Answers about Ford Focus
- Recommended Trailer Hitch And Bike Carrier For Ford Fiesta
- Installing a Class l hitch limits bike carriers to 2 bikes.
The trailer hitches we offer vary depending on the year of the Fiesta. For example, for 2011 through 2013 Ford Fiesta Sedan, the Curt Trailer hitch that is a fit is part # C11055.
For a Hatchback 2011 through 2016 the Curt Hitch is part # C11067.
When bike carriers list their weight capacity it will be for the capacity of the carrier with the weight distributed evenly. For example, the Hitching Post, part # TH934XTR has a...
view full answer... - Solution for Hitch that Rattles Against Trailer Hitch After Install
- Hitch rattle sometimes occurs after a hitch install as the exhaust ends up routed to close to the hitch and since exhaust has quite a bit of movement it can end up hitting it. What I would recommend you try is finding the exhaust hangers that the isolators mount on and bend them away from the hitch a bit so that you get a little more clearance.

- We have trailer hubs like the part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K that have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that fit rim diameters of between 8 and 12 inches. This is a fairly common rim diameter range too so you should be totally fine to go up to a 12 inch wheel and tire combo like the Kenda Wheel and Tire part # AM31202 which has an ST145/R12 Tire Installed on a 12 inch wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

- The best cargo carrier we have for your 2007 Ford Focus is the Reese Cargo Carrier part # 63155 which measures 47" long x 20" wide. Although we do not have a cargo carrier 48" long x 22" wide, this will be the next closest size we have and it is very similar to what you are looking for. The Reese Cargo Carrier is class I rated so it will work with any trailer hitch on your Focus. I have attached a few accessories for you below as well.

- The # RM-794 would be the correct kit to install the Hopkins Wiring Harness part # HM56007 in your 2012 Ford Focus with the Invisibrake part # RM-8700.
I attached a diagram of how it will install as well.
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Focus Sedan
- Since you plan on towing a small trailer you will want a draw bar so the Curt part # C11158 would be your best choice. You will need drawbar number 3593. The drawbar will insert into the hitch and will provide the attachment point for the hitch to the trailer.
You will also need a hitch ball to complete the connection. For that you would want the part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball or part # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball. For trailer wiring you would want part # 118548. I attached...

- Since the Curt trailer wiring harness part # 56014 that fits your 2010 Ford Focus draws power from the vehicle taillights for the trailer wiring it would potentially pop a vehicle taillight fuse in the event of a trailer wiring short. We do have a kit that also fits your vehicle that has circuit protection with the Hopkins part # HM11140495 which wouldn't damage your vehicle wiring in the event of a trailer wiring short.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ford Focus
- All of the available trailer hitches for your 2017 Ford Focus Hatchback SE are Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. This is most likely because the vehicle itself simply does not have the capacity that a higher class trailer hitch (and larger receiver opening) will provide.
For your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11158. This is custom fit for your Ford Focus and I have attached the installation details for you to check out. I recommend the Curt...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch and Roof Rack For a 2016 Ford Focus S Hatchback
- The best option for your 2016 Ford Focus hatchback is going to be the Curt # C11158. Along with the quality of this 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch, it is a custom-fit for your vehicle and has the edge over the Curt hitch because it will not require you to use stabilizer straps with your bike rack like the Curt does. I've added a link to a video review of this product for you to check out.
As for your Thule roof mount system, there are none available which can be used on both a 2008 Audi A4 and...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation For A 2016 Ford Focus SE Hatchback
- We do have a couple of solutions for your 2016 Ford Focus SE Hatchback application. Keep in mind, all of the hitches designed for your Focus SE are Class I, such as the Curt # C11158 which has a 1/1-4" receiver tube, 200 lbs. of tongue weight, and 2000 lbs. of gross trailer weight.
If you're determined to use a Class II bike rack with this Curt hitch, it is possible. Curt hitches do not come with the weld stop inside the receiver tube that is otherwise typical of Class I hitches, which...
view full answer... - Rhino Rack Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback
- For your 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback we have roof racks like the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK307 which will work great but this rack requires clamps that attach to the door frame of your vehicle. We don't have a confirmed way to install a roof rack with tracks on your vehicle.
The Rhino Rack roof rack you mentioned does not fit your vehicle so I cannot recommend it.

- Roof rack # SR1010 is not a fit for a Ford Focus, is this the one you have? If you let me know what year your vehicle is I can recommend the right fit, but this one is not going to work on a Focus.
view full answer... - Can a 2 Inch Cargo Carrier Be Used on a 2017 Ford Focus
- I do have options for you, but they currently only offer a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver for your 2017 Ford Focus. For this, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11158 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. In order to use a cargo carrier with a 2" shank you would also need an adapter like part # HTAD. However, using an adapter will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. You will also need to take into consideration the vehicles tongue...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Carrier for 2018 Ford Focus ST
- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11431 is a confirmed fit for 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST models. It is a confirmed fit for your 2018 model and will fit above the exhaust and under the bumper. This will work well for your bike rack, but you will want to make sure to install and uninstall the rack only after the exhaust pipes have cooled for safety when maneuvering in that tight space. I recommend the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683 which will have the locks included.

view full answer... - Recommended Bike Carrier For 2016 Ford Focus RS
- Because of the lower rear fascia and the exhaust there is no aftermarket trailer hitch available for your 2016 Focus RS.
If you are looking to carry bikes I recommend a trunk mount carrier. When not in use you can just fold it up and put it in your truck or store it at home. The bike carrier I recommend is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. This bike rack uses 2 reinforced cables to secure the bike rack to the vehicle where most trunk mount carriers use 6 straps.
If you are planning on...
view full answer... - Hauling Scooter With 1-1/4 Hitch Receiver
- We can give you the tools to achieve what you're wanting but your vehicle is limited when it comes to hitch sizes and capacity. Since you only have 1-1/4" hitch options we don't have a lot of towing options for your Challenger X Scooter. We also can't use an adapter for the hitch as it will cut down the capacity too much to where it could not handle the weight of your scooter. Best thing you can do is get a specific trailer for your scooter.
If you have a 2005 Ford Focus hatchback or...

- We have Thru axle style fork mounted bike racks available, but the part # RBC036 that you referenced is not one of them.
The Kuat Trio part # RBC036 fits 9 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm Thru axles and would be a great choice.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Ford Focus Hatchback
- In addition to the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524443-5 that you referenced and the needed tail light wiring, for which I recommend the Roadmaster Diode Kit # RM-15267, you will need a tow bar, safety cables, and a supplemental braking system to flat tow your 2017 Ford Focus.
For the tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522. This is an excellent tow bar that features a non-binding design for easy hookup even when you're on unlevel ground, extra...
