Expert Reply:
Grab your owners manual for your 2014 Ford Focus and it will have the towing capacities/restrictions for the vehicle listed there.
The # C11158 hitch that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2014 Ford Focus and has a 2,000 lb trailer towing capacity. But that doesn't necessarily mean your vehicle has the same capacity. Overall towing capacities are only as strong as the weakest component. So you would need to go with the lowest rated component as an overall capacity.
For trailer wiring you would need part # 118548, for a 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256, 2 inch # 19258, and for a ball mount part # 3593.
