The chassis should be the same so I don't see why not. You'll probs have to do some DIY to fit it anyway so give it a go. I'm sure a garage would do it for you if needed.

The ST 220 estate is not homologated for a towbar and you wont be insured , a mate of mine has just found this out ! google it and see .

As above - not type- approved and cannot be used on the road with the towbar- it would not be insured and there is a "construction and use" sanction
So you could get in serious trouble
I guess Ford never wanted it to be used for a towcar
