i just bought a focus diesel and wonder if anyone had any experience with towing with a focus 115 diesel only got a small lunar meteorite 900kg fully laden, previously towed with 1.4 citroen xsara but jst wasnt man enough.
i use a 1.8 diesel focus on a 08 plate tows my lunar zenith 4,without any problems,use to have a 03 focus 1.8 diesel,i dont think it was as powerful as the new one,but still had no bother towing with it.hope this helps
You won't have any problems, I tow a van that's right on the max towing weight for my Focus 1.6TDCi and it's fine. The only thing to be wary of is hill starts, I'm not sure the clutch would take too many starts on steep hill, but it's fine if you're careful with it. Even at that weight it returns around 36mpg.
Regards,
Pete.
I am struggling to find a 4 berth caravan around the 5/6year old mark that is light enough for my 1.8 tdci zetec 56 plate focus estate. Plenty of much older vans but we really fancy one with the more modern spec.
Any ideas?
