Is It Bad Not To Use a Supplemental Braking System
The effects of not using a supplemental braking system will be applied to the tow vehicle rather than the toad. The tow vehicle will be responsible for stopping more weight than what it was deigned for, therefore the vehicle (although small) can push the tow vehicle during a stop which increases your braking distance. In addition to the safety risk, a supplemental braking system is required by law in most states so you can also face legal troubles as well by not using one. If the reason...

Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ford Fiesta Sedan
At this time there is not a trailer hitch available that is compatible with your 2018 Ford Fiesta sedan. The only hitches available for the 2018 Fiesta are designed to fit the hatchback model.

The Falcon 2 tow bars that you have will work. For your 2011 Ford Fiesta you would need a Roadmaster Base Plates for the Ford Fiesta, part # 524425-1, as a base plate kit.

How Are Trailer Hitches Weight Rated
The way a hitch is weight rated is first the hitch manufacturers design a hitch to fit the vehicle and then from there they design it to be as strong as possible while keeping in mind the towing capacity of the vehicle. Then they test the hitches to failure and set a capacity that is safe for it. But with that said the hitch is rated separately from the vehicle which is why the capacities can be rated differently. You do have to go by the lowest rated component in your setup though which...

Solutions for Whistling on Elliptical Aero Roof Rack
I definitely have a few potential solutions for the whistling you are hearing with your crossbars # RRVA118B-2. I first recommend checking the crossbars on your roof to make sure that rubber strip on top and bottom of the bars is securely seated into position. We find a lot of times when customers note a loud whistling with their aero-style bars it is simply because the rubber channel strip is not installed, allowing wind to flow through the open channel and produce noise. Also make...
