Hello all,
Seeking advice here. I'm considering taking my automatic 2001 Focus sedan SE for a cross country adventure, including rocky mtns, dirt roads, etc.. I want to tow my motorcycle (about 390lbs wet) on a trailer with a combined weight of no more than probably 650lbs. (don't have trailer yet).
I know the manual describes 1000 lbs. towing and all, and there's the
75% rule, but I don't have any practical experience with towing. Can anyone tell me if I'm asking for trouble by doing this? It would be just me and lot's of camping stuff in the car with me. I'm thinking it would work fine, but I don't want to kill my car, or anyone else's for that matter. I want the trip to be fun.Thanks a lot for any info. or advice.
