Hitch Recommendation for Carrying Bike Rack on 2016 Ford Fusion
Question:
Which hitch are you using in your video showing the 2016 Fusion? The Curt hitch for the Fusion recommends the stabilization strap while the Draw Tite does not. I would rather not use the strap because I have the spoiler on my Fusion and I like the Swagman XC2 bike rack. I dont see where you would attach the strap easily. I also believe the Curt is a Class II and the Draw Tite is a class I. Thanks!
