The Focus is indeed rated for towing (1,000 lbs IIRC) and i've put a hitch on all my Focus and can heartily recommend it. I've done moves and used my trailer for hauling stuff to the cottage and for woodworking. Additionally, buy a rack and it's also a great way to haul bikes.

One consideration might be the availability of a hitch. Hidden Hitch for example has one for the sedan and one for the wagon, but not for ZX3 or 5.
