You assume correctly.
..Then you know that as part of the procedure for towing the Focus, that you have to disconnect the battery when hitching up, and hook the battery back up when unhitching? And, deal with all the 'fun' of having to constantly reset several things in the car after hooking the battery back up.
..This was one of the main things that turned me away from the Focus, I did not want to disconnect the battery and keep resetting everything whenever we tow it.

Anyway, it sounds like you haven't bought the new Focus yet, and wanted to make sure you make your purchase, knowing ALL the facts, whatever you go with. :)
