We offer the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11067, it is a 1-1/4-inch Class I trailer hitches for the 2012 Ford Fiesta hatchback and the Curt # C11055 for both the sedan version.
However, my research on the vehicle did not reveal any officially-rated towing capacity. You will need to check your owner's manual or consult with your local Ford dealership to confirm if the vehicle is rated for towing. Please note that availability of a hitch for any given vehicle does not necessarily mean that vehicle can tow a trailer (hitches like the Class I units made for your Fiesta are produced primarily to allow use of accessories like 2-bike racks).
Your Fiesta has a 1.6-liter engine, which is a small fuel-efficient size not typically found in vehicles that are rated for towing.
