Re: Should I get the extended service plan
This thread reminds me of a couple things. I purchased an extended warranty on a new pick up years back only to have them declare bankruptcy a couple years later. Then after some research found that was common. 2 years ago i purchased a new Ford C-Max with an extended warranty. Got home, read the contract and it stated the items the warranty covered and then stated it would not cover any issues not mentioned. I cancelled the policy. I would have kept it if it stated what was not covered and then said it would cover anything else. Read the contract carefully.786Views0likes0CommentsRe: Down hill grade
I don't use the tow/haul mode going down hills any more. I find that if I am using it and begin going too fast, briefly stepping on the break brings me to the next lower gear at an RPM I don't feel comfortable with. If the hill is 6 degrees for a couple miles I manually slow way down at the apex and gear down manually. Then if I feel the speed increasing too much, I tap on the brake to slow the vehicle down.760Views0likes0CommentsRe: The best Wranglers for towing?
As mentioned above, the Ford C-Max is a good option as it is a hybrid. We bought ours in 2017 and love it, getting 47-50 MPG. I do not believe Ford is making them anymore, so you would have to settle for a used one. They come in a plug in model also.752Views0likes0CommentsRe: getting a tow vehicle
You might want to consider a Ford C-Max. This is a small Crossover, but I find mostly ideal. They come in either a Hybrid or a plug in hybrid. Unfortunately, Ford stopped making them in 2019. I purchased one in 2018 because it can be towed 4-down, is an automatic and is a hybrid. The only downside I see for you is the limited cargo space.671Views0likes0Comments
