Expert Reply:

I'd be more than happy to help you with the best parts to flat tow your 2009 Ford Focus! I have my recommendations listed below and it's a little bit of everything. These parts are the best when it comes to cost vs functionality:

Base Plate Kit - # BX2199
Tow Bar (with Safety Cables) - # e47ZR
Wiring for Lights - # RM-15267
Relay - # RM-88400 (so brake lights work correctly)
Brake System - Part # DM86VR for Hydraulic Motorhome Brakes or Part # DM26VR for Air Motorhome Brakes

The Blue Ox base plate kit allows you to remove the tabs for a clean look when not towing, the etrailer tow bar with cables has extra adjustments in the head and arms for the best fit, the wiring is the most reliable, and the brake kits are easy to set up after the initial installation.
