For your 2013 Ford Fusion, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12091. This hitch is confirmed custom fit for your vehicle. It has a square tube design with a black powder coat over protectrive base coat for superior rust resistance.
Unfortunately, there isn't a combination carrier that will fit your vehicle like # HR1450Z-85 because it requires a Class III hitch which isn't available for your Fusion.
You can use a cargo carrier like # 63155 or # C18110. Both are confirmed to fit your hitch receiver, however you will be required to use a stabilization strap # 18050 for any non-trailer application like a cargo carrier or a bike rack.
For a bike rack, I recommend the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670. This is a very nice bike rack that will fit your hitch and accomodate many styles of bikes. I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks # S64031 to secure your bikes to the rack and the hitch.
To use both a bike rack and carry cargo, you'd have to get a roof rack and choose to load bikes or cargo on the roof. Let me know if you'd like a recommendation.
