Yes, The Trailer Hitch Adapter # e93YR will work as the rise version for your 2009 Ford Focus.
This adapter is made out of a durable steel that has a matte black powder coat finish that helps resist corrosion. The hitch adapter has a 5 inch rise and a 4-1/4 inch drop with an overall length of 11-1/4 inches.
Using this adapter will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent, and is not meant to be used as a towing application.

If your Focus does NOT have the 2.3L engine, you can use the Demco # DM9517088 base plate kit.
If you do have the 2.3L engine, you could use the Roadmaster EZ base plate, part # 52491-1 along with the
# RM-032 adapter. The adapter would allow the Roadmaster base plate to work with your Demco Commander II tow bar. If you don't already have them, you'll need safety cables like part # RM-643.
To wire up your Focus, I'd recommend a diode kit like the # RM-15247 from Roadmaster. For your... view full answer...
The Roadmaster # RM-524430-5 Base Plate Kit would work fine for your 2012 Focus Titanium model. The only fit exclusions are the ST model and models with the adaptive radar-based cruise control. Since your Focus is a Titanium with a regular mechanical-type cruise control, the base plate will work great for you.
To complete your Flat towing system, in addition to the Falcon 2 tow bar you already have, you'll need safety cables, a wiring solution for the vehicle, possibly a high-low adapter... view full answer...
The battery terminal on your 2016 Ford Focus does need to be disconnected, but you are absolutely right that you can use the battery disconnect.
The right one for your 2016 Focus is the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766. I have added a link to the instructions as well as a link to a video of the disconnect being installed on a Focus for you to check out. view full answer...
Honestly, by the time you factor parts cost and labor for installation, you may be able to find a suitable trailer for your car for less.
Otherwise, flat towing your 2017 Ford Focus behind a motorhome is a costly scenario and you may be able to get your parts a little more economically, but it isn't going to be by much. Your vehicle also doesn't need the Nighthawk, which will help with savings.
I saw you were looking at the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524443-5 so I am... view full answer...
We do carry the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, # RM-524430-5, for your 2012 Ford Focus as long as it does not have adaptive cruise control because adaptive cruise control uses a forward facing radar that detects other vehicles in front of the vehicle and adjusts the speed accordingly. These base plates will not work with ST models.
If you do not already have a tow bar, then I would recommend using the Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520. This tow bar includes the disconnects needed to attach the... view full answer...
When choosing tie-down straps like the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Tie-Down Strap, # IMF14220, you will want to keep a few things in mind. Boat tie-downs are designed for normal highway driving. The purpose of most boat tie-downs is to strap the lightest object to the heaviest object, meaning you will want to choose a tie-down with a break strength that exceeds the weight of the lightest object.
For example, if your boat weighs 4,000 lbs and your trailer weighs 2,000 lbs, you will want to... view full answer...
You can install the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack made of parts # RRVA118S-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK061 if your 2011 Ford Focus has a bare roof. This is a silver bar system but we also offer the same one with black bars if you prefer; just replace part # RRVA118S-2 with black bar part # RRVA118B-2.
You can next select an aero-bar-compatible roof bike carrier that is suitable for your specific bike type. I linked a helpful article and our page that shows all such carriers which include fork-mount,... view full answer...
For your 2015 Ford Focus Hatchback the Demco base plate kit part # DM9519324 has been confirmed as a fit as long as you don't have adaptive cruise control.
For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Commander, # DM9511012 which includes safety cables so you will not have to buy any separately. I've linked videos of both the base plate kit and tow bar on a 2017 Focus for you.
For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into... view full answer...
According to the owner's manual, a manual transmission equipped 2008 Toyota Yaris can indeed be flat towed behind a motorhome. To flat tow the vehicle, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low hitch adapter.
For base plates, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # 521181-1 and # RM-643 for safety cables. For a tow bar, we really like the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, part # RM-522. This particular tow bar features... view full answer...
You can add the drill attachment # TVDA to the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 to allow for cordless drill operation. The 5X offers two operating speeds and an automatic brake for safety and convenience when positioning your trailer. Please see the linked video.
Trailer Valet also offers 1000-lb-rated trailer movers # TVXL2 (for 2-inch couplers) and # TVXL25 (for 2-5/16-inch couplers). view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Road Warrior Rooftop Bike Carrier # RBC036 is a great option for a fork-mount bike carrier. This carrier is designed to attach to the roof rack by mounting inside the channel of an aero-style crossbar at the front of the rack, while the back of the rack clamps around the opposite crossbar. I have attached a review video of this rack on a Focus for you.
The aero-style roof rack I recommend for your 2013 Ford Focus is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 with... view full answer...
Yes, you can use a hitch adapter like the 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch, # HTAD, in the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11158, to allow you to use the cargo carrier/basket for the 2 inch hitch. In addition to the adapter you will need hitch pin and clip # PC2 and # PC3.
You will just need to keep in mind that using an adapter like # HTAD reduces the capacity of a hitch by 50 percent so in this case you would have a reduced carrying capacity of 100 lbs. This carrying capacity will need to take into... view full answer...
There are 5 components needed to flat tow your 2012 Ford Focus and those are a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tow bar wiring and a supplemental braking system.
The base plate for your vehicle is the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit, # RM-524430-5. You will also need safety cables, # RM-645, as they are required by law when flat towing a vehicle. You should not have a problem, but check your tow bar and make sure it is compatible with EZ5 style base plates. If it is not compatible,... view full answer...
It looks like you've got just about everything you'll need, but I'd go a step further and add a charge line kit, part # RM-156-25. Your braking system will draw power directly from the battery, so it would make good sense to use the 12-volt supply from the motorhome's 7-way to keep the battery topped off while towing.
The power for the taillights on the Focus will come directly from the motorhome while the vehicle is being towed, so the diode kit included with the # RM-9243-1 combo wiring... view full answer...

Bikes that do not have a horizontal top frame tube, as found on a typical man's bike, can be fitted with what's called an adapter bar to make them easier to mount on hanging and platform style carriers. The linked page will show you all such adapter bars we offer, from a wide range of makers including Swagman, which offers their Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005.
An adapter bar simply connects to the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level surface to mate... view full answer...
During my research for your vehicle, I found that in the owner's manual it states that you should never tow a trailer page #202.
This means that the hitch is intended to transport items like a bike rack or cargo carrier. See page #195 for more information about this.
If you decide to tow anyways you will need a hitch, wiring, a ball mount, and ball to tow a trailer. The Curt hitch # C1118, you were looking at will be a fit for your 2014 Ford Focus. There are ball mounts like # 3593... view full answer...
Malone has no roof rack fits for your 2016 Ford Focus 5-Door hatchback with a bare roof but since your Malone rack # MPG202 uses the same size square crossbars as other rack brands you can use your existing 58-inch bars with new feet from Inno. You'll just need rack feet part # INSUT and fit kit # INK528 view full answer...
