This fits: 2000-2007 Ford Focus Sedan or Hatchback, Except SVT
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Ford Focus (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes installation hardware

The 2000-2007 Ford Focus Sedan or Hatchback, Except SVT Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver + 2" Ball + 1-7/8" Ball Kit (Part #CHD-11294-001) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 11294 is designed for 2001–2007 Ford Focus Sedan models, including the 3-door ZX3 and 5-door ZX5. If you have a hatchback model, this hitch is compatible but requires drilling a 1/2" hole in the frame as part of installation. Check your vehicle's year and body style against these specifications.
Yes. The hitch is designed for use with ballmount #55001 or #45501. Consult the ballmount installation instructions for compatibility and setup details.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 2000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The kit includes: 4× 1/2"-13 UNC grade 8 carriage bolts (part 10-10288), 4× 1/2"-13 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), 2× 0.250" × 2.13" × 2.13" square-hole spacers (CM-SP48), 1× 0.250" × 1.00" × 2.00" square-hole spacer (CM-SP12), 1× 0.188" × 1.50" × 2.00" round-hole spacer (CM-SP32), 3× 0.250" × 1.50" × 4.00" square-hole spacers (CM-SP20), 1× 0.250" × 1.00" × 3.00" square-hole spacer (CM-SP6), and 1× 1/2" fishwire.
The manual does not specify required tools. For hatchback models, you will need a drill with a 1/2" bit to create the required hole in the frame. A torque wrench is recommended to achieve the specified 110 lb.-ft torque on all 1/2" hardware. Consult the manual or contact the manufacturer for a complete tool list.
Yes. Hatchback models require drilling a 1/2" diameter hole in the slotted hole toward the front of the vehicle in the passenger-side plate. Sedan models do not require drilling; they use an existing hole in the frame.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. This applies to both sedan and hatchback models.
1. Raise the hitch into position. Note that the driver's side plate is positioned inboard of the tie-down hook and the passenger's side plate is positioned outboard. 2. Install carriage bolts and blocks through the vehicle tie-down hooks and loosely install the flange nuts. 3. Fishwire the carriage bolt and block through the end of the frame rail and into the existing hole in the frame. 4. Install remaining fasteners as shown and torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb.-ft.
1. Raise the hitch into position. Note that the driver's side plate is positioned inboard of the tie-down hook and the passenger's side plate is positioned outboard. 2. Install carriage bolts and blocks through the vehicle tie-down hooks and loosely install the flange nuts. 3. Using the hitch as a template, drill a 1/2" hole in the slotted hole toward the front of the vehicle in the passenger-side plate. 4. Fishwire the carriage bolt and block through the access hole on the bottom of the frame rail. 5. Install remaining fasteners as shown and torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb.-ft.
Spacers are required between the hitch and frame on all models to fill gaps and ensure proper alignment and load distribution. The specific spacers used vary by vehicle model and location.
Fishwire is a flexible wire tool (included in the kit as part 1_2 FISHWIRE) used to thread fasteners through difficult-to-access areas, such as frame rails and access holes. It allows you to guide the carriage bolt and spacer block through the frame without direct line-of-sight access.
No. The manual instructs you to loosely install the flange nuts in step 2. Tighten all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb.-ft only after all fasteners are in place and the hitch is properly positioned.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval, so consult the manufacturer or your installer for a recommended maintenance schedule.
The hitch is rated for a gross load capacity of 2000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating. Always follow the more conservative limit.
