Problems towing a Ford Focus

Don't discredit everyone..the cruze when it first came out was flat towable and then the fiasco happened with burning up transmissions..they then came out with a TSB saying no more towing..I have no idea at how many people got burnt by that...I believe some were purchased back by GM (heresay)....when I purchased the Sonic as my daily driver..I made sure flat towable with specific engine/trans ..this way if anything happened to the VUE , I have another toad...Ford had an issue as well with some Escapes and people had to drain tranny fluid on it (that was the fix back then)...but just remember, read CURRENT owners manual before you buy that toad..and not all manuals can be flat towed either (like VW)
