Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11431 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ford Focus ST. This hitch is actually specifically designed for the ST models and it is the only one we have that will work for you. It has a Class I rating with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening.

Please keep in mind that if you will be using the hitch for any non-towing accessoires then you will also need the Support Strap part # 18050 in order to maintain the warranty of the hitch.

For just the trailer hitch, the Curt # C11431 mentioned above is indeed the right model for your 2018 Ford Focus ST. You'll also need to add a wiring harness to power the trailer's signal lights during travel. For this the Tekonsha # 118674 will work perfectly. Lastly for a ball mount the Curt # C45521 should work really well. I'm not sure what size hitch ball your trailer will use, but it's most likely either a 1-7/8" like # A-80 or a 2" like # A-82.
