  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2007 Ford Mustang GT
  • First, if you go through our fit guide for a specific year, make, and model vehicle, if you do not also select a specific trim level (if available) from the drop down menu it will show you all the hitches for all the trim levels. Some fit multiple trim levels so that is why you see it fitting GT and not GT. You can install a Curt trailer hitch # C11312 on your 2007 Ford Mustang GT as long as it is not a specialty GT model. The easiest way to tell, it fits the Mustangs with the V6, but...

  • Will Installation of Trailer Wiring Harness Affect Sequential Turn Signals on a 2016 Ford Mustang
  • The sequential turn signal feature on your 2016 Ford Mustang is controlled further up the line than where a trailer wiring harness such as # 118487 would install. The connection for the wiring harness is basically a pass-through device so the sequential signals coming through won't change how the vehicle turn signals function.

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Beautiful Red 2013 Ford Mustang Covnertible
  • Definitely don't want to damage your Stang. The most popular trunk mount bike rack to fit your 2013 Mustang Convertible is the Saris Bones # SA805BL. It'll hold two bikes up to 35 pounds a piece. It's very easy to use and also designed to fit with spoilers. Since it's a trunk mount, and will be in constant contact with the Mustang, there's always a concern of damage. I don't recommend a trunk rack for long trips or for every day use. But they're a great, economical solution to use...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Ford Mustang Convertible
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and he stated that as long as the trunk on your 2011 Mustang convertible model is the same as non-convertible models, you can use the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. Based on the location of the lower arm, upper tier of the rear bumper, it will most likely block the license plate when bikes are loaded. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level. I have included...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
  • Technically, the Curt trailer hitch # C11405 will fit a 2015 Ford Mustang GT Convertible but it is only listed for Coupe models so I would not recommend it. Like you said, the Draw-Tite hitch # 24928 fits convertible and regular models and it is the hitch I would use. I have linked a video showing installation for you. If you want to do some towing the correct ball mount is # 3594 and for a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And to add a 4-Way trailer connector...
