Towing Ford CMax with keyless start
I just purchased and 2014 CMax and have been reading that you can not tow more than approximately 150 miles at a time before the battery dies. Looking for imput and fix. Thank you.

We tow a 2013 Ford Fusion hybrid, that has exact same hybrid drivetrain as your C-max.
Yes, Ford hybrids (both Fusion and C-max) will drain the battery down pretty quickly when towing. Unless you plan on stopping every 100 miles or so to start up and run the toad battery for a few minutes, your only real solution is to wire a charge line, like already indicated.
Thats what I did for our Fusion, and it works great. I can pretty much tow all day, as long as I want, and battery stays completely charged up, ready to go.
