Expert Answers about Ford C-Max


  • Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2017 Ford C-Max
  • To connect your Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 to your 2017 Ford C-Max you'll need the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 524432-1 along with the crossbar # 910021-00 if you purchased your Falcon after they stopped including the crossbar. You can use the Roadmaster Invisibrake # RM-8700, but I do want to warn you that the box has to be installed inside of your C-Max and with how small it is could potentially be quite a pain to install. You'll also need the Roadmaster...

  • Recommended 4-Bike Rack for 2013 Ford C-Max
  • For a '13 C-Max the only 2 inch hitch available is the EcoHitch # 306-X7200; there is also trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver for a 2013 C-Max, the Class II Curt # C12092. So if you have the Class II Curt # C12092 trailer hitch on your vehicle there are high-quality 4-bike racks and I highly recommend checking out the Yakima RidgeBack # Y02458 because it is easy to use and provides optimal support for your bikes. The RidgeBack installs easily with the use of a pin and locks in your...

  • Can 2014 Ford C-Max Tow A Trailer With A Canoe
  • I checked the owner's manual and on page 182 saw that the powertrain is not designed for towing and that you should never tow a trailer with your 2014 Ford C-Max. I cannot recommend a hitch that would allow you to tow. We do offer trailer hitches that are designed to fit your vehicle but those are intended to be used with accessories like bike carriers or cargo carriers and not intended to be used for towing. The hitch we offer for your C-Max is the Curt, part # C12092. This is a Class...

  • Recommended Kuat Sherpa Hitch Bike Rack for Class II Hitch on 2013 Ford C-Max
  • The Curt 1-1/4-inch, Class II Trailer Hitch part # C12092 with the 1-1/4-inch Class II Trailer Hitch is a confirmed fit on your 2013 Ford C-Max, as is the higher-priced 2-inch hitch from EcoHitch, part # 306-X7200. These are both great hitches, the Curt hitch has a warranty requirement of using a support strap # 18050 when using a bike rack. If you don't care to bother with this, then the EcoHitch Hidden would be a better choice. I linked an install video for the Curt hitch. The Kuat...

  • Identifying Base Plate Kit Installed On 2015 Ford C-Max and Recommending Compatible Tow Bar
  • Thanks for the picture! Based on the location of the safety cable bracket it appears that you have the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 524432-1, but I do not see the actual arms in your picture.

For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Flacon All-Terrain # RM-522 as it is our most popular tow bar due to its non-binding...

  • Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote To Replace Fantastic 6600R Series
  • I do have an option for you but I contacted Fan-Tastic Vent and unfortunatly there are no longer replacement parts available for the 6600R series of vents. You would have to replace the vent with a newer Fan-Tastic Roof Vent like part # FV807350 which has a powered lift, fan with remote control and fits into a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" opening.

  • 2 inch Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ford C-Max for Bike Rack
  • For your 2017 Ford C-Max we have a 2 inch hitch with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7200 which would work great with your bike rack that was designed for a 2 inch hitch. Using a hitch adapter isn't a great idea since they cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent due to additional leverage.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Ford C-Max For Cargo Carrier
  • Your 2013 Ford C-Max can use a cargo carrier, and you'll need to start by installing Class II trailer hitch # C12092. This hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver and a 350 lb tongue weight so the most the carrier and scooter could weigh combined is 350 lbs. Also, please note that with this hitch, all non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers need to be supported with Stabilizing Straps # 18050. Then for a cargo carrier that will work with this vehicle the best value for a combination...

  • Will a Tour Easy Recumbent Bike Fit the Gordo Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 2013 Ford C-Max
  • The Hollywood Racks Gordo, # HRG2 has arms spaced further apart then most other racks (23 inches) making it the ideal candidate for a recumbent bike. The seat location should not be an issue on the Tour Easy bikes. If your bike is within the 100 pound limit of the rack then you can use this rack on your 2013 Ford C-Max. However you will need to keep in mind a recumbent bike is going to stick out on the sides of the vehicle more than a regular bike. Keep this in mind when traveling.

  • Will Hitch Installation Interfere with 2013 Ford C-Max Hands-Free Rear Hatch Release
  • Installation of a rear hitch receiver, such as the Curt # C12092, will not interfere with the operation of the hands-free rear hatch sensor on your 2013 Ford C-Max. The C-Max uses multiple sensors to avoid such interference. Just to be safe I did confirm this with the technical team at Curt. All 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers suitable for your vehicle are compatible with the sensors; all three can be seen on the attached link. Please note that this 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch receiver, part #...

  • Curt lists Class II, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch # C12092 as a fit for all models of the 2014 Ford C-Max so that would include Energi models.

  • Wind Fairing Recommendation for Euro-Style Roof Rack on a 2017 Ford C-Max
  • The 44" Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks # RRRF3 is what you need for the Euro-Style roof rack on your 2017 Ford C-Max. The clamps do look like they are designed better for aero-style crossbars but the clamps will fit round, square, and aero crossbars styles without any issues. If you're interested in a different mount style I recommend checking out the Yakima WindShield Fairing for Roof Racks # Y05018 which secures using a strap-type system as opposed to clamps.
