    I know your car is a Focus but read this thread on fitting a towbar to a Kuga, I think it will help you. One thing is for sure you will need the 'trailer module' fitted and the car will need programmed so it knows it now has a towbar.

    Just had a towbar fitted by Towcraft, its a Witter towbar, using the vehicle-specific wiring harness, they do the software update as well. I went to them direct, cheaper than going through Witter. I always go for the vehicle-specific harness, worth the few extra bob in case of issues. You can go onto Witters website and get details of the towbar you want, including info about bumper cutouts (very discreet on my MK4 St-Line)
