Will Available Trailer Hitches for a 2007 Focus ZX4 Fit the ST Model

Question:

Was interest in picking up a Class I hitch for my 2007 Focus ZX4 ST to carry a bike on. I have looked at my ST compared to other Focus of the same year and Im not seeing a real difference in the rear fascia besides the center area being not painted. Does this only apply to models with the Sport Appearance Package added with the larger rear fascia? I work as a tech for a Ford dealer and tend to see these vehicles all the time.

The installation instructions for these custom fit hitches state that they do not fit models with street appearance package. If your Focus is equipped with the street appearance package the hitches will not fit. If you are unsure if your Focus has the street appearance package you can contact your dealer or Ford and using your VIN, Vehicle Identification Number, they will be able to tell you if it has the street appearance package. If you decide to try one and find it will not work you can send the un-installed, un-used hitch back to our warehouse for a product credit back to your credit card.
