Question:
Hello. I am reading the answer provided by Jameson regarding this post and I do have a few additional questions. My tow car is a 2011 Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback with a manual transmission. I believe the parts referenced in his answer will fit my vehicle but wanted to confirm. Also, is there anything else I will need to purchase and or install to complete this project? Thanks!

You will need a Roadmaster # 524425-1 Base Plate Kit which will custom fit your Fiesta. Otherwise you can use the parts mentioned in the source that you referenced, including the Roadmaster # RM-520 Falcon Tow Bar, and the towing kit # RM-9243-1 which includes parts for lighting, safety cables, locks and covers.
As was mentioned, you should use a supplemental braking system. The Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR is the most popular option.
