Also keep in mind with this vehicle (Focus), the towing procedure requires you to disconnect the battery whenever you are towing it. That being the case, you have to reset some things in the car when you unhitch and hook battery back up.
Not disconnecting the battery when towing it can lead to major transmission damage. Do a search, you'll see some cases where that has happened.
This battery disconnect thing was what made us scratch the Focus off our list, did not want to have to mess with disconnecting and re-=connecting the battery every time we tow. 'Tis why we went with a Ford Fusion Hybrid instead. Would recommend you look into such. Much, much easier and more simple to tow, and the mileage is unbeatable.
