I would suppose it is possible i see people hauling boats all the time with such cars. the best place to check it out is at your local ford dealer (check your local phone book listings) and ask them what it would cost etc... another resource would be to call up your local u-haul if you have a regular large sized u-haul shop where you live. i used to install trailer hitch assemblys on all kinds of stuff when i worked for the one in my city.

Believe it or not, I have seen this done with a 1999 Ford Taurus Hatchback. It is not the manliest vehicle, but it can take a small load of that nature I am sure. Just visit the site I provided below and all of those hitched are compatible with your car.

Yes. You can even install a class II hitch which is good for up to 3500 lbs. Your car may not be rated for that heavy a trailer, though. A Reese class I #77017 will probably cost you about $160. No drilling is required to install it.

Shoudn't be a problem but have a shop weld the hitch on... and remember, hitches have ratings so make sure you purchase the right hitch for the right job!

no problem your car should be capable to tow over 650 kilogram's gross combination weight, about triple of the cycle weight, if the hitch properly installed.
