Can you flat tow a 2012 Ford Focus?
I have a 2012 Ford Focus that I want to bring on our family camping trip, but we don’t have anyone to drive it. Can I flat tow it behind our camper?

Yes—you can flat tow a 2012 Ford Focus as long as it has a manual transmission. Although it’s still possible to flat tow an automatic Ford Focus, you’ll typically have to purchase special features and accessories to avoid damaging the transmission.
If you’re unsure whether your Focus can be flat towed, check the owner’s manual to see if your specific model is safe to flat tow. Alternatively, contact the Ford customer service center and ask about flat towing a 2012 Ford Focus.
Having your vehicle on a camping trip is handy to get around without guzzling gas in a camper van, but before you hit the road, check if your car insurance policy covers your camper. If it doesn’t, don’t panic yet. With help from
