Ford Focus towing question
Going over the protocol for setting our 2014 Ford Focus SE up for towing. The owners manual gives clear, good instructions except it is not mentioned whether the ignition key should be removed or not ...

The Focus should be the # 1 selling toad. It is comfortable, lightweight, inexpensive and gets good MPG. But if you look at the depreciated prices of late model units you will quickly see that people are dumping them en mass. Too many problems. It MAY be that the newer units are better. Ford does make a lot of excuses for the shortfalls. A Ford dealer showed me a plasticized cheat sheet that lists the excuses. Mostly it involves delaying the inevitable: a new tranny. You will be told they are awaiting a software update, you need a yet to be designed new clutch pack, this is not a hydraulic auto transmission and have to learn how to drive it. There is more. The reality is you will be stuck with a vehicle that is depreciating quickly. No thanks. But it is tempting. A used CRV is a much better choice.
