More about the Ford C-Max
The C-Max comes with an array of engines to choose from when it comes to towing. Later models come with a 1.0L or 1.5L EcoBoost or 1.5L diesel engine - ranging from 100 to 150PS, whilst older models offer a 1.6L Petrol and 1.6 or 2.0L diesel engine, providing plenty of power for trailers and even some smaller caravans. Thanks to the spacious interior, the Ford C-Max is also ideal for longer journeys, with plenty of storage for luggage.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The maximum braked towing capacity of the Ford C-Max varies by engine size and model, ranging from around 750kg to 1500kg. To check the towing capacity of your vehicle, please refer to the vehicle’s VIN plate.
Which Towbar is best for my Ford C-Max?
A fixed flange towbar has a plate to which the towball bolts, allowing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt-on cycle carriers to be attached. Due to the extra size added by this design, the fixed flange towbar is generally not advised for vehicles with parking sensors, as it is the most likely to be detected.
If you do not want to remove your towbar, a fixed swan neck offers a cheaper alternative to the detachable swan neck. The fixed swan neck is less likely to interfere with parking sensors than the fixed flange towbar, though we cannot guarantee the neck will not be detected. Swan neck towbars are compatible with ALKO stabilisers, simply needing the paint removed from the towball.
The detachable swan neck towbar is recommended for vehicles with parking sensors, as the neck is removable when not in use to avoid potential interference. As with the fixed swan neck, the detachable swan neck is compatible with ALKO stabilisers.
Will it need a bumper cut?
A non-visible bumper cut is required for the Ford C-Max, meaning that on detachable towbars, when the neck is detached and the electrical socket rotated behind the bumper, there is almost no evidence of a towbar fitting at all.
