Isresistancefutile? Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch : www.valleyindustries.com 3500lbs rated you also need a special converter for your lights because Fusion use Delta signals ( means only one wire for all flasher) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DALRT Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hitches are for truck. Either that, or get a horse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) He's only doing this to mount a bike rack. Nobody is stupid enough to tow with a 4 cyl, right? :wacko: Edited November 30, 2009 by fusionff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
