Question:
Is this hitch capable of towing a car a bit over 2,000lbs
asked by: Tyler
Expert Reply:
No, and neither is your Focus. I'm not sure which model your 2011 Ford Focus is but none of them have a towing capacity over 2,000 lbs unless yours has a diesel engine. The Curt Hitch item # C11319 is a class I hitch which means it tops out at 2,000 lbs. The only other hitch available is the Draw-Tite item # 24805 but it's got the same specs.
Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 56014 and a ball mount kit item # e47DR.
If you have any additional questions feel free to throw them into the comment box below.
