Question:
I have a 2014 Ford Focus and need a Trailer Hitch so I mount my Wheel Chair hauler on it, which weighs around 250 and then my Elec. wheelchair weighs about 250 . My question is will the Hitch be strong enough?

Expert Reply:
Joe, you're not going to find any hitches for your 2014 Ford Focus that are going to be able to handle both your electric wheelchair and wheel chair hauler, the tongue weight for it is too high. I'd instead recommend using a utility trailer like # K2MMT5X7 with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24872 and tow it.
This way you can use all of the 2,000 lbs the trailer hitch offers and have plenty of space to stow your wheelchair.
