For your 2010 Mustang V6, you will need the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 24840. The hitch will bolt up to the frame of your Mustang, but since you have a Boss rear bumper, additional trimming of the bumper fascia may be required.
The Draw-Tite Hitch # 24840 is a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch. You will want to make sure not to exceed the towing and tongue weight capacity of the hitch or vehicle as stated in the vehicle owners manual. If you will be using the hitch for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks, you will be limited to those that are compatible with Class I hitches.
The item you selected, Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 24863, is designed to fit the 2011-2012 Ford Mustang and will not fit the 2010 models of the Mustang.
