  • Recommended Hitches for a 2011 Ford Fusion or 2015 Honda Civic Sedan
  • We do have solutions for both of these vehicles that are going to be custom fit and won't require any drilling. For your 2011 Ford Fusion I recommend using the Curt # C11390 and for your 2015 Honda Civic you'll want to use the Curt # C11391; Curt hitches generally have a much thicker powder coating on them, so they're going to stand up to the rigors of the road a little bit better and won't be as likely to get nicks in the coating that might lead to corrosion issues. These are both custom...

  • How to Isolate Stop Light Signal for 3rd Brake Light on 2017 Ford Fusion
  • Thank you for all of the information about the wiring you are using for flat towing your 2017 Ford Fusion. If you are using the Curt 2-To-3-Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196 in conjunction with a wiring kit like the Tow Ready # TR118821 it should work properly to isolate the 3rd brake light signal but you need to make sure that you are connecting the right and left turn wires to something on the output side. A common misconception is that you can just cap those wires off but when I've...

  • Base Plate Kit, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, and Wiring Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Ford Fusion
  • The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 4411-1, is just the first piece of the puzzle to flat tow your 2008 Ford Fusion. Please note that this base plate kit will only work if you have a manual transmission. If you have an automatic, skip to the end. If you do have a manual transmission, there are several more pieces to the puzzle but do not worry, I will help you find the edges. This base plate kit is compatible with tow bars that accept the XL series. I recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium
  • The Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # C56302 is trailer wiring that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium so I would recommend it for you. If you need a trailer hitch the Curt part # C56351 has been confirmed as a fit. For a 1-7/8 inch ball mount the part # C45561 would work or the # C45562 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Will EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2019 Ford Fusion Titanium
  • I can absolutely confirm for you that the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7239 will fit your 2019 Ford Fusion Titanium. This has a 2 inch receiver like you are needing and the receiver is the only part showing so your Fusion will maintain its aesthetic.

  • How to Replace a Strap on a Rola Bike Rack Using Replacement Strap # 59405
  • On the Rola bike racks that take strap # 59405 there is a simple procedure for replacing the strap. First, if you look at the cradles you will see they are held to the arms by the clamping force provided by a screw and nut. Remove the screw and nut. Then at the end of each arm, on the bottoms, there will be a small screw. Remove this screw. Then all you have to do is slide everything off the end of the arm. For each cradle assembly, the large strap, the one you are replacing, goes on...

  • Recommended 4-Way Connector For 2020 Ford Fusion
  • All of the 4-way connectors offered for your 2020 Ford Fusion SE 4 Cylinder 2.0L Turbo do have a powered module that draws power directly from the battery of your vehicle. The reason for this is it protects your factory wiring from any damage which could be caused by a short in your trailers wiring, and reduces the strain on your factory wiring by not drawing power through it. Out of all of the harness available for your Fusion I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118574 as...

  • Fit of Curt Class II C12091 Trailer Hitch on 2018 Ford Fusion Titanium
  • According to Curt Manufacturing, their # C12091 fits all models of the Ford Fusion, with the exception of the Sport model. If you'll be towing with your trailer, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like part # 118574, a ball mount like # C45016 and a trailer ball. For a trailer ball, use # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball. I've linked to an install video for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness.

  • Hitch and Rola Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid
  • For a trailer hitch for your 2014 Ford Fusion for carrying a bike rack you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 24897 which is a confirmed fit and does not require the use of a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch you mentioned does. This has been confirmed as a fit for your Fusion Hybrid Titanium as well. The Rola TX-102 you mentioned would fit this hitch well but has been discontinued. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber...

  • How to Tow 2013 Ford Fusion Behind a Motorhome
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2013 Ford Fusion and it states that a front-wheel drive Fusion can be towed using a tow dolly with the front wheels off the ground, but an all-wheel drive model cannot be flat towed or towed on a dolly (it would require its own trailer). We do have tow dollies that you can use for your '13 Fusion and I highly recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy # DM9713045.

  • Bike Rack for 2017 Ford Fusion that Will Clear Bumper with Curt Hitch
  • We have a similar bike rack solution that would fold up and clear the rear bumper of your 2017 Ford Fusion but the Curt # C18085 would not. Instead the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z would be your best option.

  • Can Extension Cord Be Used Between Solar Panel Charger and Battery
  • The Performance Tools 2.5 Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 includes a 9-foot cord and both a cigarette lighter style and a spring clip style extension that plug in with 2-pole connectors like those on part # 9651P. If your battery tender's cord uses this type of connector then it will plug in and function but you'll want to keep in mind that the added 25-feet of wiring will cause some voltage drop. If you happen to have a set of heavy gauge jumper cables around, something like the...

  • Could Thule Snowpack Extender and Thule Pulse L Fit on Thule Wingbar Evo 150
  • The two should fit no problem on the crossbars you have. The Thule Wingbar Evo crossbars # TH711500 that you have are 60 inches long and the Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier part # TH7325 would take up around 30 inches of bars space give or take. Since the attachment brackets are several inches towards the middle of the rack and are adjustable it's hard to give an exact amount of bar space they take up. The Thule Pulse # TH615 is 33 inches wide and can also hang over...

  • 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid Hitch and 2 Bike Rack Recommendation
  • Your best solution would be the Draw-Tite part #24897 that you also referenced. This hitch will only require trimming of the rear panel and would not require you to use a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch part # C12091 would. This hitch would work great with the Swagman XTC2 bike rack part # S64670. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out.

  • Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Options for a 2014 Ford Fusion
  • I checked with several of our prominent bike rack makers - Thule, Yakima and Hollywood Racks - and none offers any trunk-mount bike racks for the 2014 Ford Fusion. When this occurs with a vehicle it generally means that the trunk's sheet metal is too delicate to handle the weight of a loaded bike rack and/or that there is a feature, such as a rear spoiler, that prevents a proper fit. We can offer you an option, however. A Class II trailer hitch such as the Curt # C12091 which bolts on...
