Ford Focus as a dinghy
We have a 2012 Ford Focus and I remember discovering it could be towed when we bought it... not that we had that in mind at the time. We now have that in mind. What do folks think about this vehicle...

we just sold our 2012 Focus and have towed it over 40K miles. One thing not mentioned above is that the negative battery cable needs to be disconnected prior to towing. We used a complete Roadmaster setup and they installed a synoid which I activated by pushing a button on the left side of the dash. No big deal once that was done. I did have problems with the Focus transmission which is well documented and Ford promptly fixed it. I replaced the Focus with a C-Max hybrid. Hope this helps.
In our case, any problems we have had are associated with the Transmission Control Module (TCM)... the transmission itself is not a problem. And Ford is on top of this issue when it becomes a problem. Other than this, the car has been very good. That is why I am considering the investments necessary to turn this into a toad.
