Question:

Will the hitch specs be reliable for the 2011 Ford Fusion? Will this still be able to hold 200 lbs and tow 2000 pounds, with the 4-cyl Fusion?

Expert Reply:

The Draw Tite Hitch part # 24865 has the towing capacities of 200 lbs tongue weight and 2,000 lbs total trailer weight. Whether or not your 4-cylinder 2011 Ford Fusion has the same capacities is why you need to consult the owners manual of your vehicle.

Whichever component in your towing setup has the lowest towing capacity is what dictates the towing capacity. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118422.

For a ball mount part # 3594, 2 inch ball part # 19258, 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256.
