Thanks all, I think in the near future, no one will be towing four down unless they keep the vehicles they now own. It is sad, but I guess that's the way it is. More folks are traveling in RV's, but few options for towing a vehicle are out there.
Indeed, flat towing options seem to get less and less each year, but I don't think it will go away completely. All of Ford's hybrid models, the Fusion and Cmax hybrid, are flat towable, and have been for some time. And, hybrids aren't going anywhere, if anything, they're going to get more and more popular. And, there will probably always be Jeeps and other 4 wheel drive vehicles that have a transfer case that you can shift into neutral to allow flat towing.
Since the Ford Titanium Focus is towable this year, I guess I'll just have to deal with removing the negative battery cable. No I have to wait for the 2017 models and check the manual to be sure nothing changes. There is absolutely no info on 2017's yet.
..That, or get you a hybrid Fusion or Cmax instead, and don't have to mess with removing the battery cable or any of that mess. Just throw it in neutral, hitch up and go. :)
