Ford Fiesta or Focus 2012
Hi, we would like to purchase either an automatic 2012 Ford Fiesta or Focus.
Problem is, in the owner's manual of the Fiesta it is stated that it should not be towed on all 4 wheels more than 20 miles and at the speed of 20mph.
I called a Ford dealer in Quebec, as this is where I live, and he told me that they do not recommend towing the vehicle on all 4 wheels.
According to the 2012 Guide to Dinghy Towing, put out by Motorhome, it is marked as it can be towed on all 4 wheels down, for up to 70mph and no restriction on distance.
Now I am really confused, can someone tell me where and how Motorhome get the information concerning each vehicles in that list.
Who should I believe? Motorhome or the dealer?
Has any of you in this forum ever towed an automatic Fiesta or Focus all wheels down???:?
