The 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid is not excluded as a fit for trailer hitch # C12091. However, you might want to consider a trunk mount bike rack, see the helpful link. Trunk mount racks have a lower cost than trailer hitches and hitch mount bike racks. You will be able to carry up to 3 bikes on some models and trunk mount bike racks can fit multiple vehicles.

When using a trunk mount rack you will want to make sure that the rack and vehicle are clean where they contact each other.

If you want to go with a trailer hitch then you will also need to use a stabilization strap # 18050 per Curts warranty requirements. For a compatible bike rack, I like the Swagman Titan, # S63400. This is a 2 bike rack that can tilt down. It features an integrated cable lock, and has a rise in the shank for added ground clearance.
