New Ford Courier pickup
Looks like Ford is considering building a Courier pickup based on the Focus. Wonder if it could even pull a pop-up. I could see it used by parts stores to deliver parts or a grocery getter.

My Focus make 252 horsepower and 270 ft-lbs of torque, and that's available at only 2500 RPM.
I personally can not imagine a vehicle with that HP/Torque number not be able to tow a trailer well, with in reason mind you. That is more HP Than some BB 454/460/440 V8's had in the late 70s, early 80s! A better trans from a gearing standpoint too!
So a new courier or equal from ANY manufacture, should have plenty of motor to move more than a bag or two of groceries! Assuming the chassis is strong enough etc to handle the trailer behind it!
