Expert Answers about Ford Mustang


  • Trailer Hitch for 2015 Ford Mustang GT
  • There are indeed hitches available for the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The best hitch for you will depend on what you're planning on using the hitch for. If you're just needing a hitch to serve as an attachment point for a bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24928. If you'll also be doing some light duty towing, you'd also need a ball mount, trailer wiring harness, part # 118487 and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or a 2 inch ball,...

  • Availability of a Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2011 Ford Mustang GT
  • I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he stated that trailer hitch # 24863, will fit the 2011 Mustang GT. I have included a link to the installation details.

For trailer wiring use # 118487.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2012 Ford Mustang Convertible
  • As a matter of fact there are trunk mount bike carriers that will fit your 2012 Ford Mustang convertible! I have included a link to the options for you (which are all variations of the Saris Bones, # SA805BL). If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to...

  • Availability of a 2 Inch Receiver Hitch for a 2006 Ford Mustang
  • The hitches available for the 2006 Ford Mustang are not available with a 2 inch hitch opening. The only option for carrying a 2 inch shank bike rack on the Mustang would be to use a Hitch Adapter 1-1/4 to 2 inch Trailer Hitch, item # HTAD. This adapter is not to be used for towing and will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch or vehicle whichever is lowest by 50 percent. This means that if the tongue weight capacity of the hitch and vehicle are 200 pounds then you will be limited...

  • Availability of a 2-Inch Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
  • Only 1-1/4 inch Class I trailer hitches are offered for your 2005 Ford Mustang GT because of the 1,000 maximum towing capacity of your Mustang. The Draw-Tite # 24747 is currently the most popular and will both V6 and V8 models. I would still double-check your owners manual to find out the towing and tongue weight specifications. You don't want to exceed the tongue weight because it could damage your vehicle. Please note that you can only use Class I accessories, such as bike racks, cargo...

Of the options available I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I # 24863. Please keep in mind if you are using this for towing or hitch mounted accessories you need to use Class I compatible products.

  • Class I Trailer Hitch Availability for 2015 Ford Mustang V6
  • For the 2015 Ford Mustang only light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches are made. This is because the car's frame structure cannot support the higher weight capacity of a Class II hitch. There would be no value is using a higher-rated hitch (nor in having one made) since the car itself cannot support even the Class I rating of 200-lbs tongue weight and 2000-lbs gross trailer weight. According to the online Ford towing guide the V6 Mustang has a 1000-lb maximum trailer weight capacity. Your...

  • Flat Towing 2001 Ford Mustang Convertible or 2005 Saturn Ion with Manual Transmissions
  • For the 2001 Ford Mustang convertible with manual transmission we do offer flat towing base plate options. These are fits for all versions except the Cobra SVT. The set I recommend is the Roadmaster # 466-1 since this base plate has removable arms that will spare you a lot of bumps to the shins. Flat towing also requires a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit and in most states a supplementary braking system. You will find great detailed information about each of these items...

  • Are Glass Pack MagnaFlow Mufflers Available For a 1998 Mustang GT
  • Glass packs are a Universal fit item that require welding for installation. You will most likely need a 2-1/2 inch diameter inlet and outlet for installation on your 1998 Mustang GT, but you should measure the exhaust pipes on your vehicle to be sure. The glass pack mufflers are legal for use, as long as your system is within the local sound ordinance. You will need to check local laws to be sure. If you would like a bolt on system and your Mustang has the V8, 4.6L engine, there are two...

  • Availability of a 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying a Bike Rack With a 2013 Ford Mustang GT
  • Currently there are only 1-1/4" receivers like the Curt # C11210 which are custom fit for your 2013 Ford Mustang GT. Since you are not wanting to use an Adapter # e93YR you would need to have a custom hitch fabricated. It would likely be easiest to get the Curt and have a 2" Receiver # E-9 welded on. Do be sure to add gussets for additional strength to the receiver to secure it in place. Do note there is no way to give this type of custom receiver a specific weight rating and it would void...

But we can still help you with a bike carrier option that will work fine on the GT. The linked page displays all trunk-mount 2- and 3-bike carriers confirmed to fit on your convertible Mustang GT.

  • Adapter Needed to Convert 2 Inch Receiver to 1-1/4 Inch Size

  • Recommended Class I Trailer Hitch for 2015 Ford Mustang

A video and helpful article are linked for you. If you plan to tow you'll need a ball mount # 3594, and either 1-7/8-inch hitch ball # 19256 or 2-inch ball # 19258. For a trailer wiring harness fit for your car use Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118487. Be sure to check your owner's manual before...

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2009 Ford Mustang GT500
  • None of our hitch manufacturers offer a hitch that's compatible with the 2009 Mustang GT. If you were wanting the hitch as a mounting point for a bike rack, we offer some trunk mounted bike racks like the Thule Outway, part # TH45JV that would be an excellent choice. The OutWay is the easiest to use trunk mount rack we offer. Its 2 rubber coated straps allow the rack to be installed or removed in a matter of moments. The rack includes a security strap to secure the rack to the vehicle and...
