Can the Lower Body Fascia be Reinstalled with Curt Trailer Hitch # C12091 on 2013 Ford Fusion
Question:
I have a 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium and would like to get this hitch. just am leery about removing the fascia. Can it be mounted without removing it? I have talked to Ford and they say it will cause the bumper to be less rigid.

Expert Reply:
It is not recommended to reinstall the lower body fascia with the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch, # C12091, on your 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium because of the final position of the hitch once it is installed. It may be possible to mount the fascia with the hitch installed, but you will have to do extensive trimming to make it fit with the hitch. The side mounting brackets, crosstube and receiver sit in the same location as the lower body fascia, so you would basically have to cut around the hitch.
I can tell you that we have not received any complaints of rear bumper problems from our customers that have bought and installed this trailer hitch.
