The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11158 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ford Focus Sedan regardless of model trim package. Class I trailer hitch receivers are always the 1-1/4 opening.

For towing, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ball mount # 3593. This comes with a pin and clip and then you can use # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

For your trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118548. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Ford Focus's wiring harness, which is located inside your trunk, behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will need to remove some interior trim or carpeting to access the harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.
