Connect to your lifestyle with a custom hitch receiver from CURT. All of our custom hitches are designed for a vehicle-specific fit, manufactured with pride, finished for industry-leading rust resistance and tested to rigorous SAE J684 standards for safety. This class 1 trailer hitch and ball mount combination is designed for a custom fit on select years of the Ford Focus (see application info to verify fitment). The hitch integrates with the vehicle's frame and provides a useful and dependable 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver. The receiver is perfect for attaching the included ball mount and towing a small trailer, or for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, bike rack or other accessory. This particular class 1 hitch is rated for 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). The ball mount included with this trailer hitch quickly and easily installs into the hitch receiver and has a 3/4" trailer ball hole (trailer ball not included). It can be mounted in the rise or drop position to promote level towing. Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 1 hitch is protected with our co-cured finishing process. It is descaled for a smooth surface, immersed in liquid A-coat for rust resistance inside and out, covered with a durable black powder coat and finally co-cured for an industry-leading rust, chip and UV-resistant shield. No matter where you're headed or which season of the year you?re towing in, this CURT hitch is equipped for long-lasting resilience to the elements. It features an open-back receiver for easy cleaning, and it comes with all the hardware necessary for the installation.

Part number 11294 is a receiver hitch designed for 2001–2007 Ford Focus sedans in 3-door (ZX3) and 5-door (ZX5) configurations.
The manual specifies the 11294 is designed for Ford Focus sedans (ZX3 and ZX5). The installation instructions include separate steps for hatchback models, indicating the hitch can be adapted to hatchbacks, but the manual does not explicitly state hatchback compatibility. Confirm fitment with the manufacturer or a Curt dealer before purchase.
The hitch is designed for use with ballmount #55001 or #45501.
The kit includes: 1 fishwire tool (1/2"), 4 carriage bolts (1/2"-13 x 2"), 4 hex flange nuts (HFN 1213), 2 square hole spacers (CM-SP48, .250 x 2.13 x 2.13"), 1 square hole spacer (CM-SP12, .250 x 1.00 x 2.00"), 1 round hole spacer (CM-SP32, .188 x 1.50 x 2.00"), 3 square hole spacers (CM-SP20, .250 x 1.50 x 4.00"), and 1 square hole spacer (CM-SP6, .250 x 1.00 x 3.00").
Drilling is required only for hatchback models. Hatchback installation requires drilling a 1/2" diameter hole in the slotted hole toward the front of the vehicle in the passenger-side plate. Sedan models use an existing hole in the frame and do not require drilling.
The manual does not mention battery disconnection. No electrical work is involved in this installation.
The kit includes a fishwire tool (1/2"). For hatchback models, you will also need a drill with a 1/2" bit. The manual does not specify other tools required (such as wrenches, sockets, or a torque wrench), so consult the manufacturer or an installer for a complete tool list.
1. Raise hitch into position. Position the driver's side plate inboard of the tie-down hook and the passenger's side plate outboard of the tie-down hook. 2. Install carriage bolts and blocks through vehicle tie-down hooks and loosely install flange nuts. 3. Fishwire carriage bolt and block through the end of the frame rail into the existing hole in the frame. 4. Install remaining fasteners as shown. Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb.-ft.
1. Raise hitch into position. Position the driver's side plate inboard of the tie-down hook and the passenger's side plate outboard of the tie-down hook. 2. Install carriage bolts and blocks through vehicle tie-down hooks and loosely install 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 carriage bolt and block through the access hole on the bottom of the frame rail. 5. Install remaining fasteners as shown. Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb.-ft.
Fishwire is a technique for routing a bolt and spacer through an access hole or cavity in the frame. The fishwire tool (included in the kit) is used to guide the carriage bolt and block through the frame rail to an existing hole (on sedans) or a drilled hole (on hatchbacks). This allows fastening without removing the frame or accessing the bolt from the opposite side.
No. The installation instructions specify that carriage bolts and flange nuts should be 'loosely installed' in step 2, before fishwiring the remaining fasteners. All 1/2" hardware is torqued to 110 lb.-ft. in the final step after all fasteners are in place.
A 1/2" diameter hole must be drilled in the slotted hole toward the front of the vehicle in the passenger-side plate. The hitch is used as a template to mark the hole location.
Yes. The 1/2" hole drilled in the passenger-side plate is a permanent modification to the hitch. This hole is necessary for fastening the hitch to the frame rail via the access hole on the bottom of the frame.
All 1/2" hardware (carriage bolts and hex flange nuts) must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. This applies to both sedan and hatchback installations.
The manual does not provide the gross load capacity, trailer weight capacity, or tongue weight capacity for this hitch. These specifications are listed in the parts list but the values are blank. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult the product documentation for capacity ratings. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The manual states: 'DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY.' This is a critical safety requirement. Even if the hitch has a higher capacity, you must not tow more than your vehicle's manufacturer rating.
The manual requires periodic checks to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. No specific inspection interval or checklist is provided. Perform these checks regularly, especially before towing.

The manual does not specify a retorque interval. It recommends periodic checks to ensure fasteners remain tight, but does not state when fasteners should be retorqued. Consult the manufacturer or an installer for a recommended retorque schedule.
