• Will Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit a 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid with Moonroof and Hold Kayaks and Bikes
• The Rhino-Rack roof rack # RR52SR is a fit for all models of the 2013 to 2016 Ford Fusion so I am happy to report that it will fit your Fusion hybrid. The moon roof, if it opens into a cavity in the roof and doesn't raise up above the roof line, will not be an issue. If it does rise up above the roof line then it is possible that a crossbar could get in the way. As far as the capacity of the roof rack I did some checking and the roof does not have a listed capacity in the owner's manual....

• 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...

• Will the Thule Vector M Roof Box Fit Thule Evo Crossbars on 2019 Ford Fusion?
• As far as the fitment of the Thule Vector M # TH613201 fitting on your Thule WingBar Evo - 53" Crossbars # TH711420, the Vector M will attach to the WingBar Evo crossbars. In addition, you do have enough room on the top of your roof to accommodate the required crossbar spread of the Vector M (21-7/8 inches - 36-3/4 inches). For the rear hatch clearance on your 2019 Ford Fusion, there needs to be at least 29 inches from the from the center of your front crossbar to the line where the roof...

• Tow Dolly for a 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid to Tow Behind a Motor Home
• I looked up the online version of the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid owners manual and on page 226 it states that you can use a tow dolly to tow your Fusion. Check your owners manual to confirm. We do have a tow dolly, # RM-2050-1, and it will work if your Fusion has tire size 215/60-16. Anything above a 16 inch and it will not fit this tow dolly. I have included a link to the tow dolly instructions for you. To use a tow dolly with electric brakes the RV will also need a brake controller. I recommend...

• Can I use A Tow Dolly To Tow My 2017 Ford Fusion Energi
• I took a look at the owner's manual for the 2017 Ford Fusion Energi 2.0L and the Fusion Energi can either be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground in neutral or with all four wheels off the ground with a vehicle transport trailer. It is not recommended to use a tow dolly where the back two wheels or front two wheels are off the ground like part # DM9713045. The owner's manual points out these guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not damaged. If you decide...

• Can 2014 Ford Fusion or Fusion Hybrid Be Flat Towed Behind a Motor Home
• The best place to find out about a vehicle's ability to be flat-towed is the owner's manual. Also the dealership can check the car's VIN number to see the exact equipment (transmission, drive train components, etc) that went into it. This information will let them determine any preparation steps or additional equipment that may be required to ready the car for wheels-down towing behind your motor home. For example, some cars can require a driveline disconnect or installation of a transmission...

• Does the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness Work With 2017 Ford Fusion Sport
• The # C56351 Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring harness is a confirmed fit for all models of the 2017 Ford Fusion. This means it will work with your 2017 Ford Fusion Sport. However, I recommend the # 118574 Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness. This is also a confirmed fit for your Fusion Sport. The reason I recommend this wiring harness over the other is because we have found it to be the most reliable. I have attached an installation video on a 2017 Ford Fusion for your reference.

• Can Class I Hitch Carry Power Lift Chair and Carrier
• A class I and II hitch both use the same 1-1/4 inch receiver, but the Class I hitch tongue weight capacity (which is the maximum amount of weight that can safely be suspended from the hitch) is limited to 200 lbs, which includes the weight of the chair and the carrier you're using. No adapter would increase that capacity. If your carrier and the chair's combined weight is less than 200 lbs, you could use a Class I hitch like the Curt # C11390 to carry it, assuming the carrier is compatible...

• Roof Rack For 2015 Ford Fusion For Kayak
• For your 2015 Ford Fusion I do recommend the Inno roof rack because it's a great value. It will perform just as well as other options, but at a lesser cost. The correct fit for your '15 Fusion is the following: - Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB130-138 - Inno Through Feet # INXS250 - Custom Fit Kit # INK860 Then for a kayak carrier that will fit the rack and has the capacity to haul your 75 lb kayak, I recommend the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Roof Rack # S65145.

• Parts Needed to Use Darby Kayak Carrier DTA944-968-924 on 2007 Ford Fusion
• The hitches that are made or your 2007 Ford Fusion are the 1-1/4-inch Class I type, such as the Curt # C11329 that I recommend, so in order to use a 2-inch hitch-mount kayak carrier like the Darby # DTA944-968-924 you'll need a hitch adapter # HT5R to give you the needed 2-inch hitch opening. This adapter not only gives you the larger receiver opening but it also will give you 5-inches of rise (height gain) which will improve your ground clearance when using the Darby carrier. All adapters...

• Will the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch # C12225 Fit a 2012 Ford Fusion
• I have a hitch solution for your vehicle, but the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch, # C12225, will not fit your 2012 Ford Fusion. Instead, you will want to get the Draw-Tite Sportframe Class I Trailer Hitch, # 24865. We have installed this trailer hitch on a 2012 Ford Fusion so I linked the video and installation instructions for you to check out. If you are looking to do some light towing with your vehicle, then you will also want the T-One Wiring Harness, # 118422, ball mount, # 3594, 1-7/8...

• 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...

• Yes it will! I checked with the manufacturer, Roadmaster, who confirmed that the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524458-4 will fit your 2017 Ford Fusion Energi with adaptive cruise control (ACC). This base plate kit is one of the pieces you will need in order to flat tow your '17 Fusion, and there are a number of others, including a compatible tow bar. I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 because it has long arms which make it easier...

• Crossbar Spread Required for Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box
• I'm certainly sorry to hear about the cargo bag issue you had going through a snow storm. Cargo bags are really handy and easy to manage but weather can be an issue so you are smart to go with a cargo box. The Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box # TRX34FR you referenced uses U-bolts that will work on crossbar spreads from 22 inches to 31 inches and the spread of the SportRack Roof Rack # SR1010 on your Ford Fusion is going to be in that range so it is definitely going to work. The cargo box will...
