  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2017 Ford Mustang Fastback
  • Curt trailer hitch # C11405 will be the easiest hitch to install on your 2017 Ford Mustang fastback. This is a Class I trailer hitch rated for 200 pounds tongue weight and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 or for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118487 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Ford Mustang
  • We do have frame mounted hitches that are a confirmed fit for your 2012 Ford Mustang. The Draw Tite hitch part # 24863 is a fit for the GT and non-GT models so it would be a great option. Especially since it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch does with bike racks. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks...

  • Recommended Hitch Lock for Curt Drawbar on 2015 Ford Mustang
  • To secure and lock the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45519 referenced in your question to your hitch receiver, I recommend the Curt Hitch Lock # C23517. This is a really nice, stainless steel lock that is compatible with this drawbar and your hitch, and will do a great job of helping to deter theft of your valuables. It features an easy-to-operate quarter-turn lock activation and a watertight dust cap that will prevent internal corrosion. 2 keys are included with the product. I have attached...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Ford Mustang
  • The 2-inch hitches are reserved for vehicles that have higher towing capacities like SUVs and trucks. For your 2006 Ford Mustang you would be limited to a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the part # C11312. It's a shame you won't be able to use your nice bike rack designed for 2-inch openings, but if you would be interested in a new bike rack that is confirmed to fit this size hitch, I would recommend the Swagman XTC2 part # S64670. This rack is very popular with our customers and has a ton of positive...

  • Options For Adding A Trailer Hitch To A 1965 Ford Mustang
  • That is a very cool car. I do have a few potential options for you, but we do not carry a custom fit hitch for a '65 Mustang. We do offer a few universal weld on hitches that you may be able to use. For example the Curt # C13702 can be adjusted to fit frames 18" to 51" wide. This is something that would need to be taken to a shop and fabricated to fit the back of your car. After doing a bit of research, it looks like Ford Motor Company used to make an OEM hitch for mustang 1965-1969....

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Ford Mustang CS/GT Convertible
  • If your 2007 Ford Mustang California Special GT has a trailer hitch installed then yes, the Swagman bike rack # S63360 will fit. We do not have any trailer hitches that will fit the CS models. If you do not have a trailer hitch then I recommend using a trunk mount bike rack # SA805BL which is a fit for convertible models. I have linked a video review of this bike rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical...

  • Does Saris Bones Trunk Bike Rack SA805BL Fit 2012 Ford Mustang Convertible
  • Saris has test fit their Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack part # SA805BL on a 2012 Ford Mustang Convertible like yours and found that it fit and worked well. We can guarantee that this rack will fit and work well for you then. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video...

  • Carrying 2 Bikes on a 2006 Ford Mustang with Rear Spoiler
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and she stated that none of the trunk mount bike racks will fit on a 2006 Ford Mustang if it has a rear spoiler. The spoiler will interfere with the safe mounting of the bike rack. In order to carry 2 bikes with your Mustang, you will need to install a trailer hitch, for that we have the Curt # C11312. The Curt # C11312 is a confirmed fit as long as your Mustang is a V6. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. Then you...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 Ford Mustang GT
  • All of the trailer hitches available for your 2006 Ford Mustang GT are Class I hitches with a 200lb tongue weight capacity and a 2,000lb towing capacity. The Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch, # 24747, will fit the GT model, but it will not fit the specialty GT models like the California Special, Shelby GT and GT500. I have attached an installation video for you to check out. This hitch comes with a ball mount and a pin and clip. To tow a trailer, you will just need a hitch ball, # 19258...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2017 Ford Mustang GT350 With Quad Exhaust
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2017 Mustang GT350 is the Draw-Tite Sportframe, part # 24928. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I recommend this hitch because it does not require a stabilizer strap like part # 18050, like the Curt Hitch # C11405. I called my contact at Draw-Tite and they said the 24928 hitch will work with the quad exhaust on your Mustang. The exhaust has to be lowered when installing the hitch but it is re-installed.

  • Base Plates and Accessories Needed to Flat Tow a 1998 Ford Mustang
  • The only base plates I show listed for a 1998 Mustang are the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 466-1, that you have referenced. These base plates will not fit an SVT or Cobra model. Since you have a Blue Ox Rangefinder II tow bar, you would need an adapter to go from Roadmaster Base Plates to the Blue Ox tow bar. The correct adapter is the Blue Ox Rangefinder II to Roadmaster Bracket Adapter, # RM-037. You will also want to check the owners manual for the Mustang to determine if it can be...

  • Draw Tite Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2017 Ford Mustang GT
  • For your 2017 Ford Mustang GT the correct Draw Tite hitch is the part # 24928 and not the 60853 you mentioned. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Availability of Trailer Hitches for 2014 Ford Mustang GT
  • We do indeed offer hitches for the 2014 Mustang GT. If you'll be doing some light duty towing, go with the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24863. The hitch includes a pin and clip. If you'll be towing, you'll also need the following to complete your towing system: A ball mount Trailer wiring harness w/ 4-pole trailer connector, part # 118487 2 inch hitch ball, part # 19258 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, part # 19256 Locking hitch pin, part # e98879 I've linked you to Class I compatible hitch...

  • Snow Chain Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Mustang GT500
  • First thing you need to do is check the owners manual of your 2011 Ford Mustang for any restrictions on running snow chains. I would hate to see you damage anything by attempting to run chains on a muscle car as nice as yours. For a set of chains that will provide you with the best possible clearance and are confirmed to fit your tire size you would want the Thule K-Summit chains part # TH02230K45. These chains do not install on the inside of the tire so they wouldn't require any clearance...

  • Recommended Hitch And Wiring For A 2021 Ford Mustang GT Convertible With Quad Exhaust Tips
  • From what I could find out, the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24928 will be a good fit for your 2021 Mustang GT convertible even with the quad exhaust tips. This will use the same size muffler so there will be no issues there. We do have a couple options for wiring and the first will be the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496. This is a hardwire kit that you will need to splice directly to the vehicle's wiring as well as run a line up to the battery for needed power. If you do not want to splice...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
  • Of the two bike racks you mentioned only the Saris Bones 2 bike rack part # SA805BL is confirmed to fit the convertible model of your 2011 Ford Mustang GT. It's also the best option we have for your vehicle so it would be a great option overall. The arced arms that secure the rack to the rear of the vehicle allow it to fit over your spoiler. I attached an install video for this rack for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and 2-Bike Rack for a 2010 Ford Mustang
  • For your 2010 Ford Mustang, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11048 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. As long as you do not have the GT/CS, California Special, Shelby GT, or GT500 edition then this hitch will work well for you. It is currently the only option we have for this vehicle. In order to maintain the lifetime warranty, you will need to use part # 18050 for all non-towing applications like a bike rack. Then for a bike rack, I...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Mustang
  • There are several trunk mounted bike racks that are confirmed to fit your 2013 Ford Mustang GT (see link to the right). But the one I like the most is the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. The spoiler that is on your Mustang wouldn't be an issue at all either. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and...

  • Bike Carrying Options for Rear of 2015 Ford Mustang
  • Although none of our bike rack manufactures offer anything that would be compatible with your 2015 Mustang, you could install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted rack. Going this route has a huge advantage, unlike a trunk mount or roof mount rack, nothing will be touching and possibly scratching the painted finish of your vehicle. I'd recommend using the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24928. Swagman offers a reasonably priced 2 bike rack, the Trailhead part # S63360. The rack features...

  • Best Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Mustang for Carrying Bike Rack, Why Does Curt Require Strap
  • Curt hitches that are lower in capacity have the stabilizer strap recommendation because they just happen to be more cautious than Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch. By no means are they made lower quality. The USA-made Curt hitches are great and work well. But it is pretty annoying to have to use the stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using a bike rack like the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670 that you are interested. On a brand new Mustang I wouldn't want the metal hook touching the painted...
