Ford C-Max
Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi aut. and Baileytowed with my 2.0 auto diesel c max fantastic towing vehicle best I've had . Van very stable @ 50 to 60 and van behaves very well . Very impressed
Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi aut. and SterlingFord C-Max 12 plate towing a 2007 model Sterling Europa 470. Have been towing this outfit for three years without any problems at all. Plenty of power and always feels stable. Rear tyre pressures are important to keep the outfit stable.
Ford Grand C-Max 2.0 TDCi aut. and Sterlingcar tows very well. very smooth with plenty of power. Outfit feels very stable. Child seats in rear removed which gives acres of space. I can't find any fault with this match and am very pleased with it. It far exceeds my expectations.
Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi aut. and Swiftno problems with this outfit.goes prety well on motorways.my mate has a similar caravan and his 115 bhp citroen berlingo 1.6 diesel leaves me standing at roundabouts or junctions.mine is automatic but i do drive it in manual when towing.would go back to citroen but even the 7 seater picasso is too light for my small van only reason i changed to ford.
Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCi and ElddisWas unsure how tow car would perform with the caravan on the back but I am pleasantly surprised. Took it to the lakes from Northumberland and had no trouble at all on hills, motorways and with stability. Even got 35 mpg towing! Would decently reckomend this car for towing a small to medium van.
Ford C-Max 1.8 8v TDCi and BaileyMy car a 1.8 TDCI 2007 Titanium is more than adequate and pulls our 1998 Ranger 460/2 with no trouble
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v TDCi and BaileyMy C max and Bailey Champagne seem to be the perfect match I have now been towing this combination for two years and have not had any problems in my very varied journeys (Derbyshire to Cornwall ) Motorways , Cornish lanes and hills are absoloutly no problems. returning appprox 30 M.P.G.Overtaking @ 50 M.P.H.(on dual carriageways and motorways )is a doddle.and would not hesitate in recommending C max 2.0 Litre for towing
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v and AdriaConfermo totalmente la vostra valutazione. Il treno risponde bene sia in stabilità, (non ho lo stabilizzatore sulla roulotte) che in assetto. La vettura risponde bene anche in 5° marcia. In montagna con un minimo di attenzione viaggia tranquilla anche su tornanti al 10/12%.
Ford C-Max 1.8 8v TDCi and LunarI have a 2008 1.8Durotorq TDCI C Max towing a Lunar Stellar 1200kg loaded. The car overheats on hills and the clutch stinks if you have to slip it or when reversing the van. My previous 1.8 Focus seized up towing and Fords had to put a new engine in.
Ford C-Max 1.8 8v TDCi and LunarI tow a Lunar Ariva GTS with a 1.8 Ford C max TDCI (114bhp). It is a perfect match and performs really well. We recently returned from a winter rally in Spain completing over 2500 miles at 36mpg
Ford Grand C-Max 2.0 TDCi aut. and Avondaletows very good,up hill and down,i live in north yorkshire,it as just replaced a volvo v70 2.4d geartronic,
much quicker of the mark and just as stable,maybe slightly more so,i think the better aerodynamics and shorter rear overhang must help,very happy with my new choice,also surprisingly quieter and smoother than volvo and much more agile when solo.
Ford C-Max 1.6 16v TDCi and AvondaleRather impressed with the performance while towing with this car. Was initially a little concerned regarding the small engine for towing however now I have collected the van and brought it home I have to admit it tows very well. I was able to maintain the speed limit even uphill in 5th gear. A very good car to tow with... The van isn't bad either
Ford C-Max 1.8 16v and EribaFound the C-max copes well pulling the Eriba Troll when cruising on motorways, average around 27-28 MPG.
Slightly concerned with its ability on hills. When I encountered a particularly steep hill I was forced through the gears all the way down to first. Having said that it probably means that the car is well in need of a good service.
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v TDCi and BaileyI've towed with ford mondeo. and thought that was good.But the C Max is just as good.Very pleased with mine after 16 month's .
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v TDCi and AceI've towed my full loaded Jubilee Envoy to Spain with the CMax for the last three summers. It tows exceptionally well and returns around 30 mpg on a mixture of roads and I tend to keep off the tolls. 6th gear has only limited use when towing but it will sit all day at 60mph in 5th with only the steeper hills needing a change to 4th. The clutch is not easy to prevent from slipping (and smelling) when siting the van on awkward slopes but mine has survived nearly 70k miles with no problems.
Solo, the Ford is a nippy little runaround so makes a good all round choice. Its been reliable enough but build quality is not up to other makes though.
Ford C-Max 1.6 16v and BaileyMy C-Max 1.6 and Baily Ranger 470/4 have now been on some great runs over the past 18 months. We towed the van from Hoddlesden, Lancs to Swanage last summer ( with 2 young children and all the bits that go with a family on a two week holiday).We were a little bit cramped in the car. I also had to hold my breath going up the bigger hills but I found if we all rocked backwards and forwards in our seats we eventually got to the top (a bit like a child on a swing trying to build up some momentum!!) Sereously, this has been our first caravan and we knew the C-Max would just about do the job and therefore I have no complaints about the cars' capabilities. We are due to swop the car this year and I am contemplaiting a Mondeo 2.0 TDI estate which should eat our Baily Ranger.
Ford C-Max 1.8 8v TDCi and BaileyI have 1 2006,1.8durotorq HD TDCI,Ford Focus 'C' max, pulls the carvan like a dream. For a small car it is heavy performance is good
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v TDCi and HobbyC Max is a great tow car. At 87% it's a tad over the ideal with the Hobby, but driven at legal and sensible speeds you couldn't wish for better. Very powerful engine.
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v TDCi and FleetwoodWe have been towing a Fleetwood 520 EB for six months with a Ford C-Max 2.0 Tdci. It has been a very comfortable towing experience, cruises at 1800 revs with cruise control on in 6th gear (on the flat). I am very happy with the combination.
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v aut. and Elddisno trouble at all towing with car goes like a dream gets 26 miles to a gallon of petrol which is very good for automatic
Ford C-Max 1.8 16v and AbbeyThe Cmax tows exceptionally well, my previous towcars have all been diesel, whilst lacking the lugging power of the diesel i am very impressed. Drop into 4th gear and effortly cruise at 50/55 mph on a quite steep incline. Very stable at motorway speed even with a fairly strong crosswind. Against-- easily stalled when starting off on an incline, Overall for petrol very good, towing MPG. 28.
Ford C-Max 1.8 8v TDCi and CaravanGreat car,good balance, great economy, I get 38mpg towing through Wales. One word of caution, switch off the traction control when you are towing. If you are required to stop on a good gradient, ie 16% you are in deep do do. the clutch is a bit lightweight anyway so a bit of slipping to get going really gets it stinking, but the worst thing is that if you spin either front wheel the traction control cuts in and cuts the power, which is fine if you are solo, but on a hill with a ton behind me I dont care if its wheels are spinning as long as we get going again. and cutting the torque to the drive isnt going to get you to the top of the hill.
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v TDCi and BaileyWe've been towing a Bailey Ranger (1200kg MTPLM) fully loaded (over 3000miles) and have just upgraded to a Pageant Provence (1420kg MTPLM) which is loaded pretty close to it's max. The C-max 2.0tdci heaves it along as though it's not there. Steady and manouverable, plenty of acceleration and cruises well at 60mph in sixth gear at about 1700rpm (cruise control on). If we keep the speed to about 55 when towing then the fuel consumption is a very reasonable 28-30mpg. Solo we get 40mpg around the country lanes and about 50 on a motorway run.
And as Robin says it'll tow quite happily on tickover 5mph in first and 10mph in second
Ford C-Max 2.0 16v TDCi and AdriaCombination works really well under normal conditions. Steady as a rock (Al-Ko tow ball stabiliser) at all sensible speeds. Bags of spare power for acceleration and will tow up a gentle slope at a tickover (got stuck in aftermath of an accident east of Oxford on M40....) Only downside is clutch is a bit lightweight so you have to be very careful especially manoeuvring on soggy grass! So far (4 months practise) very happy!
