Ford Focus Towing by Year
The Ford Focus towing capacity listed for the catalog years is 1,000–2,600 lb. This is a range across model years and configurations, not a single rating that applies to every Focus.
The figures are in pounds and show the towing-capacity range represented in the catalog for 2000–2018. The available facts do not identify the rating for each year or engine, so use the relevant table entry when available; if your specific figure is not listed, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
Capacity can vary by year or engine, but the available facts do not specify which configurations correspond to particular ratings. Confirm the rating for your exact vehicle in the owner's manual if the catalog does not identify it.
Which catalog years and configurations store the highest towing ratings. These are stored min/max values, not a certified model maximum.
The largest stored change occurs between 2001 and 2002, when towing increases.
