All we're gonna see is the receiver tube sticking out right below our bumpers, and the cross tube is going to hidden right behind the fascia here. It is a Class II hitch, which means it's going to give us that inch and a quarter, by inch and a quarter receiver tube opening, and it's going to be great for those accessories like your bike racks, cargo carriers, or if you're towing a small trailer. The way we're going to mount any of our accessories is going to be through the hitch pin hole here on the side, and it is going to accept a standard half inch pin and clip.

Now, the Curt is gonna sit up behind our bumper, and all we're gonna see is the receiver tube sticking out. Whereas with the Draw-Tite, that cross tube is gonna be visible, sitting right below our bumper. Now since the Curt is gonna sit up behind the bumper, it is gonna provide us with a little bit better ground clearance. Not by a whole lot, maybe about a half an inch or so. more

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2015 Ford Fusion. Up top here we're going to have a Curt, which is going to be a class two hitch, and then right below that we're going to have a Draw-Tite, which is going to be a class one.So, just looking at our hitches, you can see how differently they're designed. Now, the Curt is going to sit up behind our bumper and all we're going to see is the receiver tube sticking out, whereas with the Draw-Tite, that cross tube is going to be visible, sitting right below our bumper.Now, since the Curt is going to sit up behind the bumper, it is going to provide us with a little bit better ground clearance, not by a whole lot, maybe about a half an inch or so, but with our Fusion already sitting so low to the ground, we can use as much as we can get when it comes to ground clearance.Now, the Draw-Tite receiver tube is going to stick out just a little bit more than our Curt does. They're both going to be behind our bumpers, so we're not going to have to worry about hitting our leg when we're walking behind our Fusion, but the Draw-Tite is going to be out maybe about an inch farther, which when we're looking at folding accessories that is going to come in handy to make sure that we have that adequate clearance between the accessory and we don't make contact with the bumper.When it comes to weight ratings, they are going to have a significant difference. Because our Draw-Tite is a class one hitch, it's going to have a 200 pound tongue weight, which is the maximum downward force of the receiver tube, along with a 2,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. That's the amount it can pull, including the trailer and everything we have loaded on it.Now, our Curt is going to bump up because it is a class two hitch, so it's going to have 350 pounds of tongue weight, along with 35,000 pounds of gross trailer weight rating.Now, you should always double check your Fusion's owner's manual and make sure you don't exceed the manufacturers recommended weight.Now, one thing to note with the Curt, the manufacturer does recommend to use a stabilization strap anytime you're towing any non trailer loads or any loads that aren't supported by tires, like a bike rack, or a cargo carrier.As far as the installation goes, both of our hitches are going to mount exactly the same. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2009 Ford van we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite Class V Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number 41945.My overall impression of the hitch is that it is an extremely heavy duty hitch.

It's going to give us a 2 inch by 2 inch receiver tube opening. We're going to have a lot of different options available for any kind of accessory that we want to mount ranging from a ball mount, bike rack, or a cargo carrier.The way we're going to mount all of our accessories is going to be the hitch pin hole here, which is going to be towards the front.
