The best place to find out about a vehicle's ability to be flat-towed is the owner's manual. Also the dealership can check the car's VIN number to see the exact equipment (transmission, drive train components, etc) that went into it. This information will let them determine any preparation steps or additional equipment that may be required to ready the car for wheels-down towing behind your motor home.
For example, some cars can require a driveline disconnect or installation of a transmission lube pump to make them flat-tow ready. Again, your owner's manual is the best place to start.
I provided a link to our page for base plates for all version of the 2014 Fusion. You can use the drop-down menu to select the particular version you're interested in to see the base plates that will fit that particular one. The linked article on flat towing will explain each of the other components needed to flat tow safely and legally.
Some vehicles will be towable only using a tow dolly such as # RoadMaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. This is often the case for front-wheel-drive cars.
