- 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...

- 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...

There are several components needed to flat tow a vehicle,...

- 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... - What Ball Mount is Needed For 15 Inch Hitch Height With Draw-Tite Receiver 24872 on 2014 Ford Focus?
- When we installed the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24872 on a 2014 Ford Focus Hatchback in our shop we found the receiver height to be 10-3/4" from the ground. The Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3593 gives you a 2-1/8" rise so that would only give you a height of 12-7/8". Instead you should use the Drawbar # 3594 with a 4" rise and the 1-7/8" Ball # 19256. This will give you a hitch height of 14-3/4" so you will only have 1/4" drop on the front of your trailer.
