Default Focus CC

Hi guys. Quick question. Does anyone know if the Focus CC can be used to tow. Can you fit a tow bar to them? I had a towbar fitted to my old 1.8 litre SR focus, but I've not found whether the cabriolet can tow. I'm wondering if they are like the XR5 and aren't designed to tow anything.

Thanks

generally the Convertibles have a weaker chassis because they lack the roof. I would not recommend towing

Never thought of the chassis restrictions. Shame. Just need to take the trailer to and from the tip every now and then. Would love a convertible. They have come down In price lately and are starting like a good 2nd car option to replace my ute.

car sales facts sheet says you can tow up to 750 kg the same model with a roof goes to 1200 kg (braked) the folding roof is very sensitive to body alignment
