EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Ford Fusion- Video

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look and installing the Eco Hitch trailer hitch receiver on a 2016 Ford Fusion. Now this is what your hitch is gonna look like when it's installed on your Fusion, and the great part is this is a hidden cross-tube, so all that you're gonna see is the two-inch by two-inch receiver tube opening, and even the safety chain loops are nice and tidy here, so it gives it a pretty clean look while still being able to use a two-inch by two-inch, which is kind of the standard size for hitches. So when it comes to bike racks, cargo carriers, or even ball mounts, you're gonna have tons of options to be able to load up on your Fusion. Now all of those accessories are gonna stay in place with a 5/8th pin and clip, and this is not included with the hitch. A lot of times, when you pick up accessories, they'll have one included, so something to look for if you're also choosing accessories. And if you want a locking pin and clip, those are really nice, too, if you plan on leaving your accessories on the vehicle, that way you can lock it in place and no one can just walk away with whatever you have loaded up. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2018 Ford Fusion - Curt- Video

Speaker 1: Today we'll be a look at and showing you how to install the Curt Class Two Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number C12091, on our 2018 Ford Fusion. Here's what our hitch looks like installed. Now one of the common questions that we get on our website about people when they purchase a hitch and they wanna use it with a bike rack or a cargo carrier is that when you have that installed on your vehicle, will it affect your backup sensorsAnd the answer's yes. When something's in front of it, like your bike rack or your cargo carrier, when the vehicle's in reverse, the sensors will be going off at all times so you'll have an audible warning. In some vehicles, you'll have an alert message on the dash. But as soon as you put the vehicle back in drive and you're driving forward, you don't have to worry about any buzzing or any warning messages on the dash.Now one really nice feature about his hitch is that the only part visible underneath the vehicle is the actual receiver opening itself. more

Part number 24897.Here's what our hitch looks like installed. One thing you'll notice as you're standing behind the vehicle, this hitch is actually fairly well-hidden underneath it. The only part you really see is the inch and a quarter receiver hanging down on itself.Now, one question many of our customers have asked us in the past is that they're using a bike rack or a cargo carrier on their hitch, if their vehicle's equipped with back-up sensors, will it interfere with the sensors. The answer is yes. When you're backing up your vehicle with something on the hitch, and it's in front of the sensors, you will have the alarm going off at all times, but as soon as you put the vehicle in drive and you start driving away normally, the alarm will go off, and you'll have no warning messages on the dash, either.On the side of our receiver, you'll find our industry standard half inch diameter hitch pinhole. more

Curt is gonna offer us a class two hitch for our Fusion sport model, and it's gonna have all the same weight ratings as our other Curt class two, but the only difference really is gonna be the mounting locations because of the aquatic exhaust in our sport. All the features and ratings on our Curt here are gonna be the same as our Curt for our sport model.So let's go ahead and take a closer look at our two other hitches and go over some of the differences. Up top here we have a Curt, which is gonna be a class two hitch, and then right below that we're gonna have a Draw-Tite, which is gonna be a class one.

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

It's got a nice angular V-shape to it, so it has a sporty appearance. This Class I, 1-1/4" receiver is tucked up behind our bumper cover, almost flush with it. A nice note about that, with it being almost flush like that, if you're loading into the trunk you really don't have to worry about running your knee into it quite as much as you would of some other ones that would stick out further. We have these really easy to use safety chain loops here to hook up the safety chains on our trailer. What's nice is they're not too thick, so even with the really small diameter safety chains will clip onto it really easily. more

We have to remove these rubber blocks here, and we will put our bolt and our reapportion plate over them. more
