Hitch installs are pretty basic for mechanics. I would just find a local garage to you that has a good reputation and have them install the hitch.
The hitch to go with would be the Draw Tite hitch part # 24897 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I like this hitch over the Curt for your 2014 Ford Fusion because it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 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 to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
