Trailer hitch for Focus

I was going to say that Hidden Hitch has one; Part # 60904 Class I Trailer Hitches - 1 1/4" Receiver Can be seen at

I read the fine print and it doesn't fit the ZX3 or ZX5, so be careful if you find one that claims to fit the Focus that it really works with the ZX3 or ZX5. Valley hitch has one that it says fits the 2000-2005 sedan and hatchback. Model number is 58210. Unfortunately, this one says do not use with a bike carrier or cargo carrier. Curt manufacturing has them, but doesn't note if there are ant bike rack restrictions. You'll probably have to contact them to confirm. Hitches 4 less has some, but they say the hatchback version is only for the 3 door??? I thought the undercarriage of the 3 and 5 door were the same, but I guess they're different, because the link after this one (Hitch web) has different model numbers for the ZX3 and ZX5. Hitch web has a few models available at this super long link. that doesn't work, try this shorter link; Hope this helps, let us know if you find one you like, I'll probably need to get one too for my 04 ZX5.

John,

Wow, the plethora of knowledge. I'll make some calls and see what I can find out.

Thanks a lot.

OK, maybe I'm just being slow here, but what's so different about a bike carrier, it's just a trailer that you can put a bike(s) on right? shouldn't be that heavy. They're also not for connecting to a cargo carrier, why else would you put a trailer on, other then to carry things (ie. cargo). I thought about putting a hitch on mine so I don't have to keep going and getting my brothers car and trailer, (then I can just go get the trailer), it's a 6'x 8' (2M x 2.6M) that is used for carrying mostly yard waste to the dump, and other things that won't fit in a car, (cargo), but could put a riding mower with a bagging attachment on it, so I don't have to rake the maple leaves again, would that be too much for one of them?
