Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Question:
Hi - I need a hitch on my Hybrid to hold a bike rack. Which hitch do you recommend? I really like the Curt 12091 reviews and looks but am concerned about trimming a piece on the car in order to protect the battery. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class II # C12091 that you mentioned is your best bet for your 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid. There will be some trimming required to install it but that will be the case regardless of which product you choose. I have included the installation video for you to take a look at.
Also, since you're using the hitch with a bike rack, Curt requires for their warranty that you use a Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap # 18050 for non-trailer loads.
