For anyone interested in the EcoHitch, it is $25 off until Sept 28th by using the discount code: DRIVEELECTRIC2014.
That blue candy FFE actually belongs to FoMoCo. Their exhibit was next to mine.jmueller065 said:Ok but who's the Blue Candy FFE is that behind yours? Anyone on here?.
I think you have a good point there. I seem to have overheard the Ford rep saying, "Yeah, this FFE was headed to some buyer in Toledo, Ohio, but we grabbed it off the truck and brought it here."triangles said:Maybe that's where mine got to! It's been MIA while in transit to the dealer for over a month.
I can't answer that definitively However very little has changed with the 2015 models. I would guess everything about hitches that applied to the 2012-2014 models applies to the 2015 model. I would be very surprised if you could just bolt up a hitch designed for the ICE focus.Billy Bob EV said:So I make the assumption that a "regular" Curt or Reese hitch for a 2015 Focus will not work?
Billy Bob EV said:Just was wondering if anyone had tried a 2015 or earlier hitch made for a Focus gas! looking at installation instructions, they say to unbolt the transverse mounted muffler, basically sliding the hitch in between. I'll have to go to a dealer and measure a gas version to see if the shroud is lower or what's difference. Thanks
But (and mostly directed at "Billy Bob EV") note there is at least one company that makes a hitch mount that does (specifically) fit the FFE. It is probably mentioned somewhere in this thread. I think the name was EcoHitch.triangles said:Because of the way this bin is attached to the car you can't simply bolt up a hitch from a gas car. I don't think anything in this area has changed on the 2015 model.
triangles said:I'm 99% sure the 2015 and 2016 body panels are the same so if it fits a 2015 it should fit a 2016. I know this doesn't help much but I don't think ford changed anything to the "frame" just the front fascia and some body tweaks with the 2015+ models. I bought one for my 2014 but haven't installed it yet.
