Towing Ford Fiesta

[Jayco-noslide]

Presently we tow a Chevy Sonic behind a 30 ft. Class C and it's great although the 4 in. drop hitch I have to use drags easily. I'm thinking of a Ford Fiesta(hatchback non-turbo). Looks fun to drive, even a little lighter. How is the height of the tow bar(Blue Ox) receivers sticking out the front? Is disconnecting the battery much of a problem? Other considerations? Thanks

M/T just hitch up an go. Only the A/T requires a battery disconnect. I'd certainly consider adding a mechanical disconnect (even a simple blade style) since the battery leads don't have much extra length, so it could accidentally make contact while driving.

The Fiesta is super fun! We bought 2! Although 1 has since been totaled, so it was replaced with a Focus ST.

Towed 2014 Fiesta manual tranny for about 30,000 miles with no problems. Engine off, brake off and go. Fun to drive and great gas mileage.

Go to the blue ox web site and it will tell you the height of the hitch in the installation instructions.
