Expert Answers about Ford Fusion


  • Recommended Trunk Bike Rack for 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium with Spoiler
  • The best trunk-mount bike carriers for cars like your 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium with a spoiler are the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2- and 3-bike racks, parts # HRF2 and # HRF2-3. These racks use a unique arched frame design that extends up and over the spoiler. These racks are also fairly lightweight at about 23- and 30-lbs respectively. Installation is shown in the linked video. If you'd like to add a cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack you can use part # e98891. We also offer...

  • Availability of Swivel Trailer Jack to fit 5-1/2 Inch Tall Trailer Frame Member
  • Given your question, I'm assuming that your trailer frame is slightly less than 5-1/2 inches in height, as you're needing a bracket to fit that size. Unfortunately, none of our bolt on jacks can accommodate a trailer frame member taller than 5 inches. The best thing to do in this circumstance is to use a weld-on jack like # FXP10W0301 which has a 1200 lb capacity, and a retracted bracket height of 12-3/4 inches and when fully extended a bracket height of 22-3/4 inches, for a total of...

  • What Strap is Recommended to Carry Non-Supported Load with Curt Trailer Hitch
  • Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch # C11390 to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well. Also attached an install video for the trailer hitch too.

  • 2 Inch Hitch for 2013 Ford Fusion
  • We do indeed offer a hitch for the 2013 Fusion, part # 306-X7239. The only install video we have shows the hitch being installed on a 2020 Ford Fusion, but EcoHitch does confirm that the # 306-X7239 hitch fits all models of the 2013-2016 Fusion, and all models of the 2013-2020 Fusion except for the sport. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like # 118574, a ball mount like part # 40346, a # PC3 hitch pin and for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260...

  • What Parts Are Needed To Install Rhino-Rack Roof Rack on 2011 Ford Fusion
  • Looks like you're missing one part. The Rhino Rack Roof Rack kit you were looking at for your 2011 Ford Fusion uses three parts: Crossbars # RRVA126S-2 Feet # RRRLKVA Fit Kit # DK149 This will be everything you need to get the crossbars installed, but I highly recommend upgrading to the metal lock end caps # RRVA-LEC4 because the plastic ones that come included really don't do anything as you can force them open without too much difficulty. I went ahead and included a video of this...

  • Availability of Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2014 Ford Fusion
  • Your 2014 Fusion is one of the rare vehicles that isn't compatible with trunk mounted bike racks. According to Yakima, Hollywood Racks and Thule, when they conducted fit tests on your vehicle, they found that the trunk lid and bumper cover weren't strong enough to carry the combined weight of the bikes and the bike rack without being damaged. The best alternative method for carrying bikes would be to install a trailer hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack. For a hitch, I'd recommend going...

  • Is There A Class II Trailer Hitch Available For A 2010 Ford Fusion
  • The vendors we carry for trailer hitches unfortunately only offer class 1 trailer hitches for your 2010 Ford Fusion. Of the two options available I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24865 since the installation process is a bit easier than the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11390. This hitch has a 2,000lb GTW capacity and 200lb TW capacity. If you were planning on towing a smaller trailer or want to add lights to a cargo carrier or bike rack for better visibility...

  • Availability of a 2-Inch Hitch for 2014 Ford Fusion S Hybrid for Transporting a Wheelchair
  • You are correct that all of the hitches we have available for the 2014 Ford Fusion have a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening, although we do have both Class I and Class II options. Class II hitch # C12091 from Curt offers a 350-lb tongue weight; this is the highest capacity hitch we offer for your car. A hitch with a 350-lb tongue weight may not be up to the task of handling the weight of a wheel chair and the weight of the carrier that holds it. (You should also check the vehicle's tongue weight...

  • Base Plates for Flat Towing 2014 Ford Fusion SE Hybrid
  • The base plate fits for your 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid will depend on the version of the vehicle that you have. If you have the SE model (with no adaptive cruise control) you can use Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2646. All base plate fits are shown on the linked page. Select your SE Hybrid vehicle style from the drop-down menu to see your options. (Choose either SE Hybrid with adaptive cruise control or without it.) The linked article on flat towing will give you information on all of the...

  • Can a 2008 Ford Fusion Accept a Class II Hitch to Allow Use of Wheelchair Carrier
  • The only trailer hitch offered for your 2008 Ford Fusion (a great car - I used to own one until an East Coast blizzard took her away from me) is the light-duty Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # C11329 with a 200-lb tongue weight capacity. This hitch does not have the capacity to transport a wheelchair and carrier and no Class II hitches are available for the vehicle. Your option then is to use a small trailer (which will work with one of these Class I hitches). Local outdoor...

  • 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...
