Hi Nicholas,
We can get you a hitch for your 2012 Ford Fusion, but the maximum capacity for the hitch that fits is 2,000 lbs towing and 200 lbs tongue weight. You mentioned the ATV is 800 lbs and trailer is 775 lbs, so that is under 2k and would be just fine, just remember you want to stay under that weight. With that in mind, here is the hitch, wiring, and other parts you'll need to tow with your 2012 Ford Fusion:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11390
- Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118422
- Curt Drawbar # C45521
- Pin and Clip # F-4
- 2" Hitch Ball # C40018 or 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40016
