Hybrid towing
Has anybody towed a Fusion hybrid either 4 down or on a dolly? I have a 2011 and can't decide which way to go. Thanks

Ok, with all that said I will tow my Hybrid 4 down but is any towbar better for hybrids? Also is there kits for running charge lines?
Not sure that any particular tow bar would be better than any other for a hybrid necessarily, but I do highly, highly recommend the ReadyBrute Elite tow bar, made by ReadyBrake. You get a great braking system and tow bar, for 'bout the same price as you'd pay for just a tow bar alone from anyone else. Assuming you plan to get/use a supplemental braking system, this approach saves you a TON of $$.
If you go with another braking system, make certain it is one that will work with active power brakes. With Ford's hybrids, the power brake assist is on all the time, even when towing. Readybrake handles that just fine, some other systems do not.
As to a kit for a charge line: The Toad Charge system would be one such kit that would work fine. I'm sure there are others, but thats only one that comes to mind. You can save yourself a lot of $$, and keep it much more simple, though, by just buying you some wire, connectors, fuse links, etc. and run the wire yourself. Its very easy to do, and if you search some on here, you'll find several posts talking about how to do such.
