Expert Answers about Ford Focus
- Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ford Focus with Rear Spoiler
- For vehicles with larger spoilers we have the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 which will work great. This rack is designed to specifically fit over large spoilers like what your 2017 Ford Focus has.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this...
view full answer... - Does 2015 Ford Taurus Limited Need To Be In Neutral Or Park When Being Dolly Towed?
- To dolly tow your 2015 Ford Taurus Limited with the 3.5L engine you will need to have your vehicle in park.
The Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1 you were looking at only works with wheels up to 16" in diameter. Since your vehicle has 19" wheels you will need to use a different dolly.
I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800 lbs - Wide Tread # DM9713093 which will work perfect with your Taurus. You will also need...

- The bike rack you were looking at is not designed for fat bikes, but there is a fat bike version: Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack for Fat Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SA4412B-FB. This can handle up to 5" wide tires and has a weight capacity of 60lbs per bike. Since you stated that your bikes weigh 63lbs with the battery, I recommend removing each battery pack to reduce the weight so that you do not exceed 60lbs. One thing to note is that this only works at full capacity with class...

- For your 2016 Ford Focus the correct base plate kit is the part # BX2663 which is a confirmed fit for yours that is built in 2015. You didn't say what tow bar you have but this will work with Blue Ox tow bars.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Focus ST Hatchback
- Since the Curt Hitch part # C11431 will mount underneath the center exhaust on your 2014 Ford Focus ST Hatch the ground clearance will be reduced. Since we haven't had that chance to install this hitch on a vehicle like yours we don't have an exact figure but if you check out the picture I attached you will see that the hitch will sit right under the exhaust with about an inch between the crosstube and the exhaust tips. The bottom of the hitch should be right at 3 inches underneath your...
view full answer... - Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Focus Sedan
- We have hitches that would work on your 2012 Ford Focus as well as cargo carriers, but the issue you will have is that no cargo carrier setup will allow you to carry more than 200 lbs of tongue weight on your vehicle. For a hitch you would want the Curt Hitch part # C11158 and then for a cargo carrier you could use the Curt Carrier part # C18110.
This carrier weighs 30 lbs so you would be left with 170 lbs of tongue weight left for cargo which may not be enough but aside from using a small...

- Since you told me so much helpful information about your needs and preferences for a bike rack I instantly knew what to recommend for you. Thank you!
I recommend the USA-made Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL. The rack is shown in the linked video.
The Saris offers some unique engineering that gives it several advantages over other racks. First it is very lightweight at only 11-lbs thanks to its use of injection-molded plastic construction for the rack arms and legs. This light construction...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Focus to Carry Recumbent Trike
- I have a solution for you, check out the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider 2 2-Bike Carrier for Recumbents # HR1000Z-R. This rack is designed for carrying recumbents. Since yours is a trike you will also need the adapter # HRTRK-ADP.
The Yakima # Y02458 that you referenced will not fit on Class I hitches like what you have on your Focus so I would not recommend it for you.
The # HR1000Z-R is Class I hitch compatible.
view full answer... - Recommended Thule Roof Cargo Box for 2018 Ford Focus with Thule Roof Rack
- For the two Thule roof racks we offer for your 2018 Ford Focus ST with a naked roof:
Square bar rack part numbers # TH712200, # TH710501, and # TH145125
Wingbar Evo roof rack part numbers # TH711400, # TH480R, and # TH145065
Thule recommends the Thule motion XT part # TH629706 for black or the # TH629707 for Titan silver.
Both of these boxes are very easy to use, can carry up to 16 cubic feet of cargo, are aerodynamically shaped, and look really nice. Check out the review videos I attached...
view full answer... - Blue Ox Components Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Ford Focus
- The correct Blue Ox base plate kit for your 2018 Ford Focus would be the part # BX2663 which fits the sedan and hatchback models. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables...
view full answer... - Recommended Backup Camera for 2014 Ford Focus
- For your 2014 Ford Focus I recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System # RVS-778718N. This is a hardwired system which will prevent delay on the monitor when backing up. Instead of fitting over the rear view mirror it will replace the mirror completely. The display is within the mirror itself.
The camera mounts above the license plate and has a 170-degree viewing angle. It is IP68 rated and also shock resistant. This camera system comes with a 1-year warranty.
view full answer... - Towing 2007 Ford Focus
- I did some research and found that your 2007 Ford Focus should not be flat towed. You will need to use a tow dolly to tow the vehicle with the front two tires off the ground.
A great choice for a tow dolly is the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1. It comes with a 4-way wiring harness to operate the towed car's signal lights.
Since your Focus is well under the 3000 pound limit you would be ok to tow with a larger and much heavier vehicle. For safety, handling, and wear on your towing vehicle I...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendations to Carry 1 or 2 Bikes on a 2012 Ford Focus SE With Rear Spoiler
- We have a wide variety of bike racks for you to choose from for your 2012 Ford Focus SE.
The bike rack that I would recommend for your vehicle is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # Y02634. This bike rack is customer reviews and is designed to work with most factory spoilers. This 2-bike trunk rack features a 4-strap mounting system and interlocking HUB for quick setup on your Honda Civic. It has SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ZipStrip straps for easy...
view full answer... - Custom Fit Trailer Wiring Harness for 2007 Ford Focus Hatchback
- We do have a custom trailer wiring harness that is a fit for your 2007 Ford Focus Hatchback. For that you would want the Hopkins kit part # HM11140495 which is a confirmed fit. The # 118457 only fits the coupes and the sedans though. The taillights are different between the hatchbacks and the sedans/coupes.
view full answer... - Largest Cargo Carrier That Can Be Used on a 2007 Ford Focus
- The best cargo carrier we have for your 2007 Ford Focus is the Reese Cargo Carrier part # 63155 which measures 47" long x 20" wide. Although we do not have a cargo carrier 48" long x 22" wide, this will be the next closest size we have and it is very similar to what you are looking for. The Reese Cargo Carrier is class I rated so it will work with any trailer hitch on your Focus. I have attached a few accessories for you below as well.
view full answer... - Assisted Kayak Carrier Options for 2013 Ford Focus ST with Thule Roof Rack
- At one point Curt did require the use of the stabilizer straps with their 1-1/4 inch hitches like the # C11431 that you referenced but they recently got rid of this requirement. So if you used this hitch with the Curt hitch adapter part # C45785 and the Rhino Rack T-Load part # RTL002 you would not need to use the strap. You should note that this hitch is Class I and the hitch adapter you mentioned is for Class II only so you'd instead need the adapter part # HTAD which is compatible with...
view full answer... - Will the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT fit a 2014 Ford Focus Sedan
- I double checked with Thule and the Thule Archway 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Ford Focus Sedan. The straps are held to vehicles with metal hooks that are designed to fit in tight areas like what you have between the deck lid and back window of your vehicle.
For more info on this rack check out the review video I attached.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ford Focus SE Hatchback
- For your 2018 Ford Focus SE Hatchback I highly recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11158 because of their strong reputation for making high-quality trailer hitches over many years.
This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver so you will need a Class I compatible cargo carrier, and the best option for that is the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145 because it offers a large amount of space inside the carrier to carry cargo, with nearly four feet of length and a foot and a half of width,...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch and Roof Rack For a 2016 Ford Focus S Hatchback
- The best option for your 2016 Ford Focus hatchback is going to be the Curt # C11158. Along with the quality of this 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch, it is a custom-fit for your vehicle and has the edge over the Curt hitch because it will not require you to use stabilizer straps with your bike rack like the Curt does. I've added a link to a video review of this product for you to check out.
As for your Thule roof mount system, there are none available which can be used on both a 2008 Audi A4 and...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ford Focus
- All of the available trailer hitches for your 2017 Ford Focus Hatchback SE are Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. This is most likely because the vehicle itself simply does not have the capacity that a higher class trailer hitch (and larger receiver opening) will provide.
For your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11158. This is custom fit for your Ford Focus and I have attached the installation details for you to check out. I recommend the Curt...
