Trailer hitch on 08 SEL 4


Recommended Posts

I will take delivery of my new - company issue - 08 Fusion SEL 4cyl sometime in January and I want to take advantage of a holiday shipping offer at eTrailer.com to order a hitch.

 

Has anyone installed a hitch on a Fusion sedan? Please provide a forun link or other details. eTrailer provides clear instructions, but I'd like to know up front if I have to drill in the spare tire area or if there are existing mounting holes in 08 models.

and if you do tow anything with it and it is an automatic make sure you get a trans cooler for it. the stock auto in the 4 cyl is not going to be strong enough to tow much and will heat up very fast.

you also need a special converter for your lights because Fusion use Delta signals ( means only one wire for all flasher)
