Our usual towing car isn't sounding too healthy. We're due to take off on Saturday for hols. Has anyone experience of towing a trailer tent with a Focus 1.6?  I don't want to charge about tomorrow getting a tow bar fitted if its a bad idea... Thanks for any help

I used to tow an 18ft caravan with my 1.8 Focus so think you should be fine.

Hi Hollyvan

As Terry says, you shouldn't have any problems, we have a 1.8 and it pulls our caravan without trouble.

In our area you would be lucky to get a tow bar fitted on a same day service basis!  Good luck!
