Small economical DD as a towed

jsmart looks like the C-max gets 37 mpg on the hiway and starts at $25k. Is this your experience? Do you just put it in neutral and tow?

Pretty much, we paid just under 24,000 from a dealer we know well. The manual has instructions for flat towing, just have to run the engine for 1 minute, move the shift lever through park, drive then neutral, leave the key in and on accessorie, then I turn everything else off. I haven't hooked up a charge line for the starter battery yet, although I've seen on this site that some folks are having dead batteries when they tow their C-Max. We've gone as far as 4 hours without having a dead battery, so at this point, I've got the Blue Ox add a light set installed in the rear light housing, works fine. The C-Max is suprisingly big inside. I'm 6' 260 lbs. and it feels very roomy for me.
