Does anyone have or had a trailer hitch installed on their SVT focus? Do the ones for the ZX3 work on the SVT?
My guess is that not many people have this. I couldn't find any information on this when I searched. It's not something I want to have on the back of my car either, but I need it because I will be moving out of state. I want to be able to pull a U-haul trailer.

My research last year on this suggested that the usual suspects do not make a hitch setup for the SVTF. The problem is the lower rear grill and the shape of the bumper. The ZX3 options do not fit off-the-shelf.
No SVTF solution exists from DrawTite, Hidden Hitch, or Da'Lan. I pinged the TireTail guys, DrawTite, and Hidden Hitch. None have plans for such a solution.
However, if you are willing to cut into your bumper, or purchase a salvage bumper cover for this purpose, you can do a custom deal (which I have seen on this forum). You will just wind up having a slot either in the bumper or through the grill or something. There is also some welding to extended the hidden hitch tongue or something.
I think getting a beater bumper cover might be a decent solution. If you get a ZX3 beater bumpper cover for temp usage, I bet you can use the stock ZX3 hitch solution (just speculation).
Search the forum archive and you'll find some stuff.
