Expert Answers about Ford C-Max


  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Ford C-Max
  • The Curt # C59236 you referenced is not a vehicle specific item, it's pretty much a universal fit that would work just fine on your 2017 Ford C-Max. If you click the provided link, you can see the install video you referred to, showing the wiring harness being installed on a 2013 C-Max. Since both vehicles are from the same model generation, the installation procedure shuold be similar, but I'd recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires in the taillight harnesses...

  • 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. If you are missing the arms you can order replacements using # RM-ARMS and filling out the order form by clicking the instructions link. 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...

  • Pads and Clips For Attaching Yakima Round Bars With Q Towers On 2013 Ford C-Max
  • To fit the Yakima Q Tower # Y8880047 on your 2013 Ford C-Max you will need 2 of the A-Pads 8810084 for the front crossbar along with Q32 Clips 8000632. For the rear crossbar you will need 2 of the E-Pads 8810082 and Q99 Clips 8000699. We no longer carry these pads and clips since Yakima switched to different mounting systems but you may be able to source them used.

  • Hollywood RV Rider Height
  • If I understand correctly the measurement you are asking for, that is highly dependent on how you arrange the bikes and bike rack. If your objective is to identify and ensure clearance of the bike tires to the ground, then I can assure you that if properly loaded, the bike tires will not be lower than the bottom of the rack hitch. Please see the attached images and the link to product review and installation video. Hope this helps. Happy Camping.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Distance Between Bikes on the Saris SuperClamp Platform Bike Rack
  • I can't say for sure if your bike's pedals will be an issue on the Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F because there really isn't a way to know without putting the bikes on it. The wheel trays do slide to help prevent contact however, they will be pretty close together and it could be an issue for you. Between the wheel scoops from center to center there is 8 inches. You'll also need the Fat Tire Adapter # SA4419. The SuperClamp EX has a max weight capacity of 60 pounds per bike, which is...
