  • We have a hitch with a 2 inch opening like a Class III hitch that fits your 2015 Ford C-Max like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7200 but this is technically a Class I hitch since the towing capacity is lower.

  • RV Snow Chain Recommendation for Tire Size 275/70R22.5
  • I attached a link to a page that has all of the snow chains we offer that will fit your RV's tire size of 275/70 R22.5. A popular set that would work great would be the # TC2841CAM. These are V-bar chains that would do an excellent job breaking up ice. The V-bars act like ice breakers which allows the ice to be easily and quickly broken up to provide you with great traction. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. It snows how these chains will install and them in use....

  • Choose a Bike Rack for a 2013 Ford C-Max
  • To use your current bike rackwith your Ford C-Max, you'll need a hitch adapter like the Brophy 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # HTAD. This will allow you to use the current rack without any further needs. This will, however, lower your available tongue weight (TW) by 50%, meaning that the total weight of your rack plus your bikes will need to be lower than 175lbs. I don't recommend this as a long term solution for your needs. When you go to purchase a rack for yourself, I recommend...

  • Recommended Flat-Towing Parts Needed For 2014 Ford C-Max
  • All of the base plate kits we carry are very dependable. Personally, I like the Demco tow bars the best because of their independant arms. The Demco base plate kit for your 2014 Ford C-Max is part # DM9518305. To pair up with the base plates use the Demco Commander # DM9511012. It also includes safety cables. The tow bar lighting I recommend is the Roadmaster, part # 154-792-118158. I have attached a link to an install video for this on a 2014 C-Max. For a supplemental brake system...

  • Would Installing a Hitch on a 2014 Ford C-Max Interfere with Foot Sensor Tailgate Operation
  • Both the Curt hitch part # C12092 and the EcoHitch # 306-X7200 are confirmed to fit your 2014 C-Max and are confirmed to compatible with the Hands-Free Liftgate option and would still allow you to use your foot sensor for opening the tailgate.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Ford C-Max
  • For your 2017 Ford C-Max with a naked roof the roof rack I recommend is the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK357 because it installs easily, gives you aero shaped bars which minimizes wind noise, and would work great for the pop up tent application you mentioned. It also would be just fine to get through a car wash.

  • Will Yakima J-Style Kayak Carrier Fit Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars on 2017 Ford C-Max
  • The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System, which consists of # RRVA137B-2 for the two 54 Inch Vortex Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK357 for the Custom DK Fit Kit, is confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford C-Max and is a great choice. With these bars installed, you can indeed use your existing Yakima J-Style Carrier like the JayLow # Y04073. These are compatible with crossbars that are up to 3-1/2 inches wide. The Rhino-Rack Aero Crossbars measure 3-1/8 inches wide so...

  • Towing With Trailer Hitch Installed on 2013 Ford C-Max
  • The Curt Class II hitch you referenced, part # C12092 has a 350 lb tongue weight/3500 lb towing capacity. The hitch itself could handle the load of your camper as long as its loaded weight doesn't exceed the capacity of the hitch, but according to the owner's manual, Ford doesn't recommend using a C-Max for towing. The hitch would make an excellent attachment point for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, but I can't recommend using it for towing since Ford specifically prohibits it in the...

  • Which Base Plate Kit is Easiest to Use for 2017 Ford C-Max
  • I really like how easy to use the Blue Ox base plate kits are like the part # BX2639 which fits your 2017 Ford C-Max. I attached an install video for more info as well. This would work perfectly fine with the ReadyBrake setup you mentioned as well. This would work really great with the Blue Ox Avail Tow bar # BX7420 too.

  • The floor mats I recommend for your 2019 Ford C-Max are the WeatherTech Floor Mats because they are constructed out of a highly durable thermoplastic designed to withstand the gauntlet of dirt, water, mud or any other grime they may come into contact with.

  • Could 2013 Ford C-Max Tow Jon Boat Trailer that Weighs 600 lbs
  • For your 2013 Ford C-Max we have trailer hitches like the Curt part # C12092 which have towing capacities of 3,500 lbs which would easily tow a trailer that has a 500-600 lb boat on it. For a ball mount you then would want the part # C45521, hitch ball # A-82 for a 2 inch ball, part # A-80 for 1-7/8 inch and then for wiring part # C59496. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine what Ford says are the towing capacities and be sure to stay under that.

  • Difference Between Hollywood Racks Recumbent Bike Racks
  • The Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack for 2 Recumbent Bikes # S64650-EXT and Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Recumbents Bikes # SA4412B-R are both frame mount recumbent racks for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches.

  • Base Plate Kit that Fits 2014 Ford C-Max
  • The base plate from a 2009 Ford Focus would not fit a 2014 Ford C-Max as the vehicles are very different. So you would need a new base plate kit depending on what brand tow bar you have. If you have a Roadmaster you would need the part # 524432-1, Blue Ox part # BX2639, or Demco part # DM9518305.

  • Can a Front Wheel Drive Ford EcoSport Be Dolly Towed
  • Yes, you can dolly tow a front wheel drive Ford EcoSport with the front two wheels in the air. I cannot confirm compatibly with the Gypsy Tow Dolly as we do not carry this but I can confirm that the above can be accomplished with the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly part # DM9713045. The Kar Kaddy SS is the best all in one tow dolly we offer. It has surge disc brakes for maximum stopping power/reliability, a folding tongue for easy storage, and a wheeled jack to maneuver the dolly around while...
