Thanks for your reply. Good info. I have since bought an older PT Cruiser as a toad but good to know I can use the ST if I need to. I also use an aux box with the Cruiiser as the cig lighter does not power up unless the ignition is on.

Hello, sorry for the delay in responding.
I still tow the Focus ST. I've had no problems. It tows wonderfully.
Push Button start makes life easier because no steering lock. Only issue was aux brake. The cig lighters go off after a few minutes and fail to power the aux brakes. I bought a jump box and set it on the seat. This solved the problem.

Do you still flat tow your Focus ST? Any problems with that so far? I have a 2013 ST I would like to flat tow as well. Thanks!
