Question:

Hi, I am looking to purchase a trailer hitch for my 2009 Ford Focus Coupe. I am interested in the Draw Tite. However, I am unsure if it will fit my vehicle. I noticed that he description says that it will fit all Ford Focus models. Is this 100 accurate. Or does the Coupes lower valence need to be cut in order to fit? Any additional information would be appreciate! Thanks,

Expert Reply:

I contacted our representative at Draw-Tite to double check and he informed me that The Draw-Tite Class I Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 24805, does not require any trimming of the lower valence in order to fit.

If you have the factory bumper with no dealer add on valence then part # 24805, will fit your vehicle perfectly and will require no trimming of the bumper.

Some items you may need to complete your Class I towing setup are listed below.
