Expert Answers about Ford Fiesta


  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Fiesta
  • That depends on which model of Ford Fiesta you have. If you have a sedan you would want the part # 24856 and if you have a hatchback you would want the part # 24961. For trailer wiring you would want part # 118471 for if you have a hatchback and part # 118422 for if you have a sedan. For a ball mount you would want the part # 3593 that you referenced. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # 19258 or # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • Video Showing Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Installation on 2019 Ford Fiesta
  • We do have a video showing the installation of the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524438-4 on a Ford Fiesta, though it is of a 2015 Fiesta. That is the same generation (body style) of a 2019 Fiesta though so the installation will be the same on your '19 as the video shows. I have added a link on this page of the video for you to check out. Also please keep in mind those base plates only fit the Fiesta so long as it is NOT an ST model and does not have the EcoBoost.

  • Can 2015 Ford Fiesta ST Hatchback 4D be Flat Towed
  • I pulled up the owners manual of your 2015 Ford Fiesta and on page 152 I found the recreational towing section and there is no mention of the ST models not being flat tow-able. There is special instructions listed for the automatic transmission vehicles that you can check out in your owners manual. The etrailer base plate kit part # e98968 is a confirmed fit and would work great though.

  • Inno Square Bar Roof Rack that Fits 2017 Ford Fiesta Sedan
  • For a square bar Inno roof rack that fits your 2017 Ford Fiesta 4 door sedan you'd want the part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK872 instead actually. This will fit much better than the Sportrack you tried.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Fiesta Hatchback
  • Since the 2014 Ford Fiesta Hatchback has a different taillight setup than the Sedan model you would need to order a wiring harness with a converter built into it like the part # C56191 that you referenced. The # 56047 that you referenced would not be the correct kit for you.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 Ford Fiesta Sedan
  • The best value roof rack we have for your 2016 Ford Fiesta that has a naked roof is the Inno rack part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK872. This will fit MUCH better than the Sportrack you tried as it is a custom fit rack and what you tried is only semi-custom and is a design that would most likely at least partially transfer to a similar future vehicle. Then for a 2 kayak carrier the Thule Compass part # TH890000 fits this rack and would be an easy way to carry your kayaks. It's padded...

  • What Base Plate Kit for 2011 Ford Fiesta to Use with Blue Ox Adventurer
  • For a base plate for your 2011 Ford Fiesta that is compatible with a Blue Ox Adventurer tow bar # BX7322 you'd want the base plate kit part # BX2622. The base plate kit you mentioned would not work with a Blue Ox tow bar.

  • Why Does Hitch Extender for Class I Hitch Cut Weight Capacity
  • Using a hitch adapter with a hitch like the # C11067 does cut the capacity of the hitch in half due to the fact they add length which creates more leverage and movement. The added length puts additional torque on the hitch. For a Class I hitch extender we have the part # HES0 which is a 10 inch extender.

  • How Are Trailer Hitches Weight Rated
  • The way a hitch is weight rated is first the hitch manufacturers design a hitch to fit the vehicle and then from there they design it to be as strong as possible while keeping in mind the towing capacity of the vehicle. Then they test the hitches to failure and set a capacity that is safe for it. But with that said the hitch is rated separately from the vehicle which is why the capacities can be rated differently. You do have to go by the lowest rated component in your setup though which...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2015 Ford Fiesta Behind a Motor Home
  • A plug in tow bar lighting system is not available for your 2015 Ford Fiesta but there are other options that will work. You could use a magnetic light kit, # RM-2120, a bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, or a diode kit, # 154-792-118158. The magnetic light kit will be the most cost effective option and the least permanent. The diode kit is the most involved of the installations and requires splicing into the vehicle wiring for installation. The bulb and socket kit bypasses the vehicle wiring...

  • E-Bike Rack and Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Ford Fiesta Hatchback
  • With a hitch installed like the Curt part # C11067 that fits your 2015 Ford Fiesta you'd need to use an E-bike rack like the EasyFold XT part # TH903202 with the fat tire adapters # TH985101. Most e-bike racks can't be used in the 1-1/4 inch hitch size but the EasyFold XT was designed to and due to it having a ramp that pulls out from the rack it is also very easy to load/unload.

  • Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack Capacity Concerns on a 2016 Ford Fiesta
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" item #C11067 will support a bike rack and bikes that weigh 150 lbs but any hitch adapter will reduce your hitches capacity by 50%. Any bike rack that has a 2" receiver will not be warrantied if it is used on a class I receiver. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2016 Ford Fiesta. I recommend using the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount item # S64683 on your Fiesta. This Swagman bike...

  • Roof Cargo Bag for a Long Trip on a Ford Fiesta with a Naked Roof
  • I like the Rightline Gear Sport 2, part # RL100S20. It uses clips to connect to the car's door frame and doesn't have straps that go through the car's windows across the ceiling like some other bags. You should also use the non-skid pad, part # RL100650, to protect your Fiesta's roof.

  • Can 2011 Ford Fiesta Tow a 772-lb Tear Drop Travel Trailer
  • The trailer hitch you referenced, Curt Class I hitch # C11055, is a confirmed fit for your Fiesta sedan. This hitch for your Fiesta sedan is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch suitable for use with a hitch-mount 2-bike rack or a cargo carrier for example. Many customers do hitch installs themselves, and this requires a torque wrench, but any local auto shop should be able to do it. I was able to find an online version of the owner's manual for the 2011 Fiesta Sedan. On page 133 Ford...

  • Tow Bar Recommendation for Blue Ox Base Plate Kit on a 2011 Ford Fiesta
  • Great question! The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2622 for your 2011 Ford Fiesta has a distance of 20" between the brackets while the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 is compatible with brackets that are spaced 23" - 30" apart so we'll need to get you a different tow bar. For your application I recommend going with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR which will work with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit and it stores on the hitch receiver of your motorhome....

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Ford Fiesta with Spoiler
  • The best trunk mounted bike rack solution we have for your 2014 Ford Fiesta hatch with a spoiler is the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 which has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and also was designed for fitting vehicles with spoilers like yours. We actually had a chance to install this rack on a Fiesta just like yours with a spoiler and it fit well. I attached a picture that shows how it looks installed. You can see it doesn't touch the spoiler at all too.
