Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E

Question:

I have a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E. What is the best hitch for transporting a bike and occasionally towing a jet ski trailer? I already have the wiring for the trailer is there anything else I need?

The best hitch for transporting a bike rack with your 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C77ER. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mustang with included hardware.

The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C77ER is made in the USA and weighs 33 lbs. It It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. It can not be used with weight distribution systems.

I have linked a couple of pictures below so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed. The receiver extends just past the bumper a bit so there won't be any clearance issues with a bike rack.

To tow your jet ski, you will need the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.

If you don't already have a bike rack, I recommend using the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack item # Y36FR. This bike rack includes a ramp to make loading and unloading your e-bike much easier. It is rated to carry 2 e-bikes weighing up to 66 lbs each and will tilt away allowing you to access your rear door with the bikes loaded.
