Expert Answers about Ford Fusion


  • Trailer Hitch, Balls, and Wiring for a 2013 Ford Fusion
  • We do have a trailer hitch for the 2013 Ford Fusion but the Draw-Tite trailer hitch you referenced, # 24865, is not a confirmed fit. What you can use is Curt trailer hitch # C12091. Nothing has to be trimmed to install this hitch but you will need to permanently remove an underbody panel to complete installation. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you plan on doing some towing the hitch does come with a ball mount, hitch pin, and clip. For a 1-7/8...

  • Does EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  • That's a good question and yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7239 will fit your 2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid. From time to time manufacturers may not have the most fully updated fits appear on their website but will either send us the updated fits or we will add them as fits if the vehicle does not undergo any change in the body. For example, this EcoHitch fits a Ford Fusion from 2013 and up because it is the same "generation" - the frame hasn't changed. So because of that...

  • Parts Needed To Flat-Tow a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid With Roadmaster Tow Bar
  • In order to flat-tow a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid you will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, supplemental braking system, a tail light wiring harness, and a few other smaller components. It sounds like you already have the tow bar and safety cables so I have just attached the other parts which will be compatible with your setup below. Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-524458-5 (Attaches Tow Bar To Towed Vehicle) Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit a 2012 Ford Fusion with Dual Exhaust
  • Yes, you can install Curt trailer hitch # C11390 on your 2012 Ford Fusion with dual exhaust. The hitch, like the exhaust configuration on your Fusion, is symmetrical and the hitch will fit above the exhaust on both sides just like in the video I have linked on a single exhaust model. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited...

  • Can Cruiser Bike And Womens Mountain Bike Both Fit Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier On 2007 Ford Fusion
  • The Hollywood Racks Gordo 2 Bike Carrier, part # HRG2 has arms that are spaced 22 inches apart, and is intended to work with bikes with long wheelbases like cruisers, choppers, Townies, and recumbent bikes with a short wheel base. The distance between the arms may not be a fit for other style bikes. The distance from outside to outside of the cradles is 23 inches. I have attached a couple of photos from the installation instructions that shows where the cradle arms are attached to a bike...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2012 Ford Fusion SEL
  • I have a solution for you, but the Curt # C13902 is not compatible with your 2012 Ford Fusion SEL. Instead, I recommend using the Curt # C11390 which is a confirmed fit on your 2012 Fusion SEL. This hitch has a concealed cross-tube design that will allow you to maintain the factory look on your vehicle and it has a 1-1/4" Class I receiver. If you're going to be using this hitch for towing a small, light weight trailer, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For the...

  • Recommended Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  • The correct Blue Ox base plate kit that you need for your 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BLU44FR which is a direct fit. If you need a tow bar that is compatible with this base plate kit then I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar part # BX7380 because it has a triple lug connection for security and a self-aligning design for ease of use. I have attached a photo of what the base plate kit will look like once installed. In addition to the above base plate kit...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Options for a 2016 Ford Fusion
  • We do not list any trunk mount bike racks as a fit for the 2016 Ford Fusion. They have deemed the attachment points on the vehicle are not suitable to mount their products. But there are trunk mount bike racks that you can use with the vehicle. For a single bike, we have the option of the super sweet SeaSucker Komodo # 298-BK1910-BK. However, this rack is quite costly. My recommendation for you is to get a hitch # C12091 or the # 306-X7239 installed on your Fusion. Then you could use...

  • FIt and Compatibility of Inno Roof Rack on a 2014 Ford Fusion
  • The front feet should sit flush just like the back feet do on your 2014 Fusion. The first thing to check is that you received the correct pad kit for your vehicle. After that you will want to check the orientation of the rubber pad into the foot of the carrier, I have linked an image of how to tell if this is installed properly for you to better see. Finally you will want to consult the mounting position measurements that were included with the mounting hooks. I have also linked these...

  • Can a Euro Style Ball Mount Work with a Class I Hitch Receiver
  • Currently, all the Euro ball mounts we currently offer are Class II rated. Any Class II rated Euro ball mounts like # C45592 will not fit on Class I trailer hitches unless it's a Curt Class I hitch. The reason is because Class I trailer hitches are tested and rated with specific ball mounts for the hitch and if you use a ball mount not recommended by the manufacturer will void the warranty. I included a informative article about ball mounts for you as well.

  • Can Swagman XC Hitch or RV Bumper Mount Rack # S64663 Be Used w/ 2012 Ford Fusion 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • In order to use the Swagman XC Hitch or RV Bumper Mount Rack, # S64663, with the 1-1/4 inch on your 2012 Ford Fusion you will need a hitch adapter like the Brophy, # HTAD. Please do keep in mind that using an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent and can cause extra movement in the rack. This is where using a support strap, like part # 18050, would come in handy. I spoke with my contact at Swagman and they do not offer a 1-1/4 inch replacement shank for...

  • Hitch Lock for Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack and Curt Class III Trailer Hitch
  • the DeadBolt lock will not work with the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. Thule and other rack manufacturers, make the threaded weldnuts and hitch pins unique to their products. You would need to use the Thule lock # THSTL2. The threaded nut in the shank of the bike rack uses the 1/2 inch threaded bolt included with the lock. It is compatible with the Class III Curt hitch you have since the bike rack does not take a regular hitch pin which would not work properly because it would be...

  • Yes, the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLY94FR will allow access to the trunk when bikes are removed from the carrier. You can see in the attached demonstration video that this bike rack actually allows trunk access on the Ford Fusion even when the carrier is folded up. A hitch pin lock is included to keep the carrier secured to your hitch receiver, but there is not a bike lock included. The Malone LockUp Cable Lock - 8' # MPG356 would be...

  • How Much Weight Can I Tow With 2017 Ford Fusion 1.5L Eco-Boost Engine
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for the 2017 Ford Fusion and the 1.5L GTDI Eco-boost Engine and the maximum trailer weight that it can tow is 1,000 lbs that is including the cargo inside the trailer itself. So if you used the 4x8 cargo trailer for example, it weighs 850 lbs empty so you would only be able to put 150 lbs of cargo in it to tow it with your Fusion. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12091 is a good choice for the Fusion as long as it's not considered the Sport model....

  • Crossbar Spread Required for Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box
  • I'm certainly sorry to hear about the cargo bag issue you had going through a snow storm. Cargo bags are really handy and easy to manage but weather can be an issue so you are smart to go with a cargo box. The Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box # TRX34FR you referenced uses U-bolts that will work on crossbar spreads from 22 inches to 31 inches and the spread of the SportRack Roof Rack # SR1010 on your Ford Fusion is going to be in that range so it is definitely going to work. The cargo box will...

  • Can I Use Ford LED Lighted Vehicle Emblem On Ford Fusion
  • The Ford LED Lighted Vehicle Emblem - Black part # RP86620 will fit your 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid if you have a space for it. The emblem measures 9" wide x 3-1/2" tall and simply sticks to your vehicle with heavy-duty tape so you can mount it almost anywhere. A lot of customers stick it to the grill of their vehicle. It will need to be wired to the fusions tail lights.
