Expert Answers about Ford Focus


  • Recommendation for a Class I Ford Focus to Transport a Mobility Scooter on a Cargo Carrier
  • You are correct that your 2012 Ford Focus sedan will only support a Class I hitch. However, I cannot recommend that you use your existing cargo carrier, that is designed to be used with a Class III hitch, in a Class I hitch receiver, for both compatibility and safety reasons. Many hitch manufacturers have modified the receiver portion of a Class I hitch to make it only compatible with Class I accessories. A stopper is installed in the Class 1 hitch, this shortens the length of a the receiver...

  • Curt Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Ford Focus SE
  • For your 2014 Ford Focus SE the part # C56138 that you referenced fits the sedan models and the # C56140 fits the hatchback models. There aren't any fit exclusions for either kit due to trim levels. So basically you just need to go with the vehicle style you have and you'll be set.

  • Recommended Bike Carrier For 2016 Ford Focus RS
  • Because of the lower rear fascia and the exhaust there is no aftermarket trailer hitch available for your 2016 Focus RS. If you are looking to carry bikes I recommend a trunk mount carrier. When not in use you can just fold it up and put it in your truck or store it at home. The bike carrier I recommend is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. This bike rack uses 2 reinforced cables to secure the bike rack to the vehicle where most trunk mount carriers use 6 straps. If you are planning on...

  • Which Curt Hitch Fits 2016 Ford Focus SE Hatchback
  • For your 2016 Ford Focus SE we have Curt hitches that do fit but the Curt # C12091 you mentioned does NOT fit so we would not recommend it. Instead you'd want the part # C11158 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out too.

  • Recommended Parts for Flat Towing a 2018 Ford Focus
  • To flat tow your 2018 Ford Focus you need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter for level towing. I recommend using the Demco Base Plate Kit # DM9519324 and Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012 because they provide you with a clean looking system that easily links up with one pin. The Commander tow bar also features integrated safety cables and a shank with a 1-1/2" rise/drop which may eliminate the need...

  • Recommended 4K A-Frame Trailer Jack for a 24' Enclosed Show Car Trailer
  • Since you are using the trailer jack for your show car trailer I highly recommend the Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack # BD500199 because it features a spring-loaded pull pin to quickly adjust the lower leg, 4"-6" of overlap between inner and outer tubes for extra support, and has a built-in level. The 5-year warranty and excellent customer reviews gives you peace of mind that you are getting a quality product that will last. Some other added perks to this jack are easy access to the...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Ford Focus Hatchback
  • Yes, the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack part # TH56BV that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2013 Ford Focus 5-door hatchback. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2010 Ford Focus SES with Sun Roof
  • We have several roof rack options for your 2010 Ford Focus SES. I have attached a link to all of your options for you to check out. There are no roof racks that mount to the channels on your roof. Instead, the feet sit on the outside of the channels and use clamps on the door jambs to secure the roof rack to the roof. If you have a 4-door sedan model, then I recommend looking at the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack # RRRS422B. The elliptical crossbars create less wind noise and drag and the...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Ford Focus ST Hatchback
  • For your 2016 Ford Focus ST the Curt hitch part # C11431 is the correct fit. It has towing capacities of up to 2,000 lbs which would potentially be enough for your ATV/motorcycle trailer. You'd need to also verify that your vehicle has the towing capacity as well and you'd be good. For trailer wiring you'd then also need the # 118674 and for a ball mount # C45521. For a 2 inch ball you'd then want the part # A-82 and for a 1-7/8 inch ball part # A-80.

  • Recommended 2-Bike Carrier For 63lb Electric Bikes On Class 1 Receiver
  • The bike rack you were looking at is not designed for fat bikes, but there is a fat bike version: Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack for Fat Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SA4412B-FB. This can handle up to 5" wide tires and has a weight capacity of 60lbs per bike. Since you stated that your bikes weigh 63lbs with the battery, I recommend removing each battery pack to reduce the weight so that you do not exceed 60lbs. One thing to note is that this only works at full capacity with class...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Options for a 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback
  • There are 2 possible wiring harness options for the 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback. You could use Curt wiring harness, # C56140, that you have referenced. The other option is Tow Ready wiring harness # 118549. I have included links to the instructions for both harnesses. Both harnesses install the same way and require a direct connection to the battery to power the trailer lights. This protects the vehicle electronics. The more popular harness is the Tow ready, # 118549, harness.

  • Coiled Tow Bar Wiring Extension to Go from a 7-Way to a 4-Way Flat
  • Yes, the tow bar wiring harness # HM56008 will work as a combined system, with the brake lights and turn signals on the same circuits. You could use ta 7-Way to 4-Way adapter either directly in the 7-Way on the RV or at the end of a coiled extension. But I was able to find a nice long coiled cable to go from a 7-Way to a 4-Way, # 787196.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2012 Ford Focus Sedan SE
  • The roof rack that I recommended for you 2012 Ford Focus Sedan SE is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRRLKVA, part # DK307. This is my favorite roof rack because it has all of the same basic core features (aero crossbars, custom molded door clips, padded feet, etc.) as the other top tier brands such as Yakima/Thule but at a fraction of the cost. The Vortex Aero Crossbar System also come with locks whereas they would be extra for Yakima/Thule. I have...
