Ford Focus as a dinghy
We have a 2012 Ford Focus and I remember discovering it could be towed when we bought it... not that we had that in mind at the time. We now have that in mind. What do folks think about this vehicle...

We did tow a Chevy Sonic but traded for a 2017 Focus, towable with the dual clutch trans or manual trans. We had a Blue Ox base plate installed and use the best Blue Ox wireless braking system. Unfortunately the Focus is heavier than the Sonic and yes I can tell but it's OK. You also have to install a battery cutoff so it's won't discharge when towing. The whole procedure of hooking up, setting up the brake, etc. is a little intimidating and takes practice, probably true with any dinghy. All the Blue Ox stuff is great, especially the braking but costly. The Focus owner's manual specifically addresses towing behind a MH. Love the car also.
