For your 2007 Ford Focus Sedan the Draw-Tite part # 24692 would be a great choice for towing a small trailer as long as it stays under the capacities you mentioned. Your trailer would need to be lighter than 2,000 lbs and have a tongue weight of less than 200 lbs for the hitch. For the vehicle you would need to check the owners manual to determine what the vehicle's towing capacities are as well.
To complete your towing setup, you would also want a ball mount and part # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch ball or part # 19258 for 2 inch ball.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 18252.
