For your 2017 Ford Focus Titanium sedan we have the Curt hitch part # C11158 which is a 1-1/4 inch hitch size but we do not have any 2 inch hitches that fit your vehicle. The 2 inch hitch size is typically only used on higher capacity vehicles like trucks and SUVs.

Answer 1

It sounds like you are referring to the square hole spacers that are included with trailer hitches like the Draw-Tite Class III #75740 for your 2003 Ford F-150. If this is not what you mean please let me know. The included spacers are required when…

Answer 2

The Brophy Drawbar part #BR39FR could be used in a Class I hitch but typically Class I hitches require a specific ball mount be used so I'd check with the manufacturer of your trailer hitch.

Answer 3

Although the Curt #C11158 is a fit for your 2013 Ford Focus, it is not to be used for towing. It can only be used for either a bike rack or cargo carrier. On page 217 of the 2013 Ford Focus owner's manual Ford cautions to never tow a trailer…

Answer 4

For a 10 inch rise on a 1-1/4 receiver, you would need to use an adapter like you stated. This will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch receiver by 50% because you are using an adapter which puts more leverage on the hitch receiver. I…

Answer 5

To use the Curt 2 Inch Trailer Ball, #40038, with the B&W Ball Mount, #BWBMHD30010, you will want to use the Reese Hitch Ball Bushing, #58184. This will not reduce the towing or tongue weight capacity of the hitch ball or the ball mount, but you…

Answer 6

If the trailer is less than 1 inch off of being perfectly level either up or down then it will be perfectly fine. Having it slightly higher would be better because presumably the tongue weight of the trailer will pull it down a little. You could also…

Answer 7

I have a solution for you to be able to get to 7" of total rise. The Brophy Anti-Rattle Drawbar #BR39FR is a 1-1/4" ball mount that will give you 5-1/2" inches of rise. That is the largest rise that I have been able to find. You can…

Answer 8

I do have options for you, but they currently only offer a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver for your 2017 Ford Focus. For this, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part #C11158 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube…

Answer 9

Currently our Curt Drawbar #C45028 has the most rise available for a 1-1/4" Class I receiver like that you would have on your 2015 Chrysler 200. The rise is 5-3/8" from the receiver. To get slightly closer to your 6" rise you can use a…

Answer 10

We need to get you a ball mount that will allow your tow dolly to be towed at the correct height. Basically you will need to measure from the top of your hitch opening down to the ground and whatever the difference is between that number and 24…

Answer 11

You could use Roadmaster Quiet Hitch #RM-061-125 upside down but I don't think it is going to fit based on your pictures. Something smaller like Item #F-315 that goes into the shank of the accessory you are inserting into the hitch will likely…

Answer 12

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
