Best 2014 Ford Fusion Trailer Hitch- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2014 Ford Fusion. Up top here, we're going to have a Curt, which is going to be a Class II hitch, and then right below that, we're going to have a Draw-Tite, which is going to be a Class I.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 crosstube 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 1/2" 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 bumper, 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 accessory, and we don't make contact with the bumper.When it comes to weight ratings, they are going to have a significant difference. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2014 Ford Fusion - Curt- Video
Today in this 2014 Ford Fusion we are going to show you the Curt class 2, 1 inch and 1/4 receiver hitch, part number C12091. This is what the hitch looks like once installed on a vehicle. Right off the bet, all you can really see is the receiver opening and the safety chain loops. Not much to see, which is a good thing. This is an 1 inch and a 1/4 receiver right here, it has a nice rounded collar around the edge of the receiver, also uses a 1/2 inch hitch pin right here, or you can fit a hitch pin lock. Safety chain loops right here, big open design so it'll fit a variety of chain hooks that are out there. This goes all the way back towards the body of the hitch, which is all completely hidden behind the bumper. Now, this does require a panel to be removed to install the hitch so it sits behind the bumper. This hitch comes with all the hardware necessary to install and no drilling required. A couple of other things to know about our hitch is that it has a 350 lbs. tongue weight, which is the weight from the trailer pushing down on the hitch. more
