Question:

Currently towing my Aluma 638 single axle utility, 390 lbs, with another vehicle. Am looking to put a hitch on my 2010 Fusion to occasionally pull this trailer. Trailer gross is 2000, never pulled anywhere near it. Shouldnt be an issue with Fusion? Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Draw Tite hitch part # 24865 is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Ford Fusion and has a 2,000 lb total trailer weight capacity. This would be more than enough for a 390 lb trailer. Unless there are restrictions in the owners manual of your vehicle on towing this hitch would be a great solution.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

The recommended ball mount but for the Draw-Tite Hitch is # 3594. For a ball you can use # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, you will need T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # 118422
