Expert Reply:

In order to tow the Ironton utility trailer with your 2011 Ford Fiesta you are going to need a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer hitch I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11067 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. This hitch is very easy to install and will not require any drilling as you can see in the attached video.

Then for a wiring harness I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56064 which is a plug and play option that will not require you to cut or splice any wires. For a ball mount mount/hitch ball I recommend using both part # C45521 and part # A-80.

All of the above products are made in the U.S.A. and will give you everything you need to hit the road with your trailer. However, before you hit the road you may want to confirm the vehicle's towing capacity in your owner's manual.
