For your 2020 Ford Fusion I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12091. This hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500lbs and maximum tongue weight of 350lbs and is not rated for use with weight distribution hitches. This hitch is a simple bolt-on installation with no welding required but it does require removal of your underbody panel(s) installation. It fits well on Hybrid models but doesn't fit 2020 Energi models.
For the bike rack I recommend the Malone Runway Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # MPG2130. This rack has a weight capacity of 33lbs per bike and is rated for use on cars, vans, trucks, and SUVs. The anti-rattle hitch bolt reduces movement and noise of rack in hitch receiver and anti-sway strap reduces movement of handlebars and wheels. This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar but if your daughter's bike is too small you may need an adapter like the # MPG2165.
