- The automatic transmission of your 2014 Ford Fiesta shifts electronically which is why the battery has to be disconnected when flat towing as well as following all of the other procedures outlined in the manual. You will have transmission problems if you don't disconnect the battery. I found a few people online who flat towed without disconnecting the battery and they had to have the transmission rebuilt. The transmission basically dropped back into gear while they were flat towing which...

view full answer... - Will Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Work With Motorhome and Bike Rack
- The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 only has about 8 inches from the hitch pin hole to the back of the carrier and my understanding of Fiamma racks for motorhomes are that they are designed to sit pretty low when mounted on rails of motorhomes.
What you can do is use this spare tire carrier as a receiver for a bike rack, but you would need one that is rated for use on the back of a motorhome such as the Swagman Titan 2-Bike Rack # S63400. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier will...

- In order to tow the Ironton utility trailer with your 2011 Ford Fiesta you are going to need a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer hitch I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11067 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. This hitch is very easy to install and will not require any drilling as you can see in the attached video.
Then for a wiring harness I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part...
view full answer... - Available Hitches For 2015 Ford Fiesta ST Hatchback
- Good news! The placement of the exhaust will not affect the fit of hitches on the 2015 Ford Fiesta ST since the frame of the vehicles where the hitches connect across the different models is the same. From what I was able to determine, the ST model is the hatchback model, so we have a trailer hitch that will fit your car.
You can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11067. This hitch is a light-duty Class I hitch and has a 150-pound tongue weight capacity and 1,500-pound towing capacity....
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts to Tow a Trailer with 2015 Ford Fiesta Hatchback
- The Curt Hitch, part # C11067 will work fine on your 2015 Fiesta. It is a Class I hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
If you are looking to do some very light towing with the hitch, I recommend a ball mount as the # C45521 and Pin and Clip # F-4. This ballmount features either an increase of 2-5/8 inches or 3-1/4 inches down.
For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, I recommend part # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball, you can use part # 19258.
If you need trailer wiring, I recommend the...

- I would love to help you get absolutely everything that you need to flat tow your 2018 Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback. However, Blue Ox does not make a base plate kit for the non EcoBoost model therefore I recommend you use Roadmaster instead. I typically prefer Roadmaster anyhow as they offer more options for flat towing equipment. I have attached a list of all the parts you will need below:
Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-676

view full answer... - Availability of Whispbar Roof Rack for 2011 Ford Fiesta
- I do have a great roof rack solution for you, however the Whispbar Custom Fit Kit that you referenced is designed for certain model GM pickup trucks and won't work on your Ford Fiesta. There isn't a Whispbar system currently in production that will fit your vehicle.
For a similar high-quality roof rack that will work great on your 2011 Ford Fiesta I highly recommend the Yakima JetStream system that consists of # Y00425 for the two 50" JetStream Crossbars, # Y28TR for the BaseLine Towers,...

- Most of our installation videos for the InvisiBrake # RM-8700 and the Roadmaster Diode Kit # RM-15267 use the methods that our install techs have found to be the best way for them, and also sticking with manufacturer instructions- but it may not be the best way for others.
I did speak with my contact over at Roadmaster and they did insist that following the recommended installation instructions are always best to avoid potential problems, but with that being said- there's nothing stopping...
view full answer... - Is Tongue Weight Capacity Amount a Cargo Carrier Can Weigh on Hitch For 2013 Ford Fiesta Sedan
- It sounds like you are referring to a cargo carrier or motorcycle-type carrier as opposed to a wheeled trailer for your 2013 Ford Fiesta sedan. And in regards to tongue weight, that is exactly the amount of weight that a carrier (plus it's cargo) can weigh.
So for your 2013 Ford Fiesta sedan, the maximum weight a platform carrier and your scooter can weigh is 200 lbs combined - and it also must be a Class I-compatible carrier with a 1-1/4" shank so it works with the Curt Trailer Hitch...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring for 2016 Ford Fiesta
- For your 2016 Ford Fiesta Hatchback, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C56191, with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. This connector is your easiest option because it is simply a plug and play harness. There are no wires to run or splice, just quick connects and a grounding ring terminal. It is recommended to use dielectric grease on the connections, like # 11755, to increase the reliability and life of the connection by sealing and preventing corrosion.
view full answer... - Will The etrailer Baseplate For A 2018 Ford Fiesta Work With A Blue Ox Tow Bar
- The etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit # e98968 would require an adapter to be compatible with a Blue Ox tow bar. It would definitely be a lot easier to simply pull up onto a tow dolly than setup everything to flat tow, but you would be left with essentially a trailer to deal with when you reach your destination, so a lot of people see that as the one major drawback.
If you have enough room at the campsites you travel to then I'd say to go with a dolly like The Demco Kar Kaddy # DM9713093....

As long as you have access to basic hand tools and have basic mechanical skills you'd have no problem with this.
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. The most popular compatible tow bar is...
