The ST sport version of Ford's 2014 Focus Hatchback has an upgraded engine, a 2.3L version taken from the Mustang. If you have doubts about which version you have simply contact any Ford dealer with the car's VIN and they can look up its equipment and confirm if you have the ST version.

All hitches made for the car, shown on the linked page, are the light-duty Class I type and all share identical weight ratings. For the ST use Curt hitch # C11431. If you do NOT have the ST Hatchback then be sure to check whether your Focus has the Full Body Styling Package since this feature makes all hitches non-compatible due to the lower rear fascia panel.

If you plan to use a hitch-mounted cargo or bike carrier, such as # C18145 or # S64670, be sure to choose ones that are Class I-rated to ensure they will fit.
