Parts Needed To Install EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver 306-X7239 On 2013 Ford Fusion
Question:
When installing the hitch receiver on a 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium, once the panel is removed is there a speaker that will require the Speaker Bracket? IF so what parts are all needed? Also with how low the car already is can a hitch ball mount but used upside downinch to be used as a riser?

Expert Reply:
There is not always a speaker behind the rear bumper on the Ford Fusion, so you will need to check under the bumper to see if your particular 2013 Ford Fusion has the speaker or not.
If you do you will need the # 18136 to make a bracket to move it out of the way of the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7239. You will also need to source two nuts and bolts to secure the speaker to the bracket.
You can absolutely use a ball mount upside down to get the correct rise needed to tow your trailer level. To determine how much rise you will need you will need to level your trailer and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler of your trailer.
When we installed the # 306-X7239 on a similar 2020 Ford Fusion we found that from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver was 10". The difference between these two measurements will be the amount of rise you need to tow your trailer level.
If you can tell me how much rise you need I would be happy to recommend the correct ball mount. I went ahead and included a link to all of our ball mounts for you to look through as well.
Lastly to complete your towing setup you will need a vehicle wiring harness # 118574.
I included installation videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
