Expert Answers about Ford C-Max

• How Are Solara Awning Mounted Screen Rooms Fastened to the Ground
• The Solara Screen Rooms would attach to the ground using stakes that are included with the screen room. Solara doesn't list a specific wind speed at which point the screen room would be in danger, but if the wind kicks up to the point where the screen room and the awning is moving quite a bit, you'd want to take the screen room down and retract the awning to prevent damage.

In the past, Curt stated in their warranty stipulations that it was a necessity to use this strap for any non-trailer loads like bike racks or cargo carriers. However, Curt no longer requires use of the strap in order for the warranty to be in force. I've linked to a product description video featuring the strap you'd asked about.

• Best Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Ford C-Max to Carry Bikes
• While I do have a solution for you, we do not currently offer any 2 inch trailer hitch receivers for your 2016 Ford C-Max. Our best option is the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch # C12092 because it is rated for heavier towing than a Class I hitch is. If you were to tow something other than a bike rack, you won't have as many restrictions with a Class II hitch. Since we only offer 1-1/4 inch hitches, you will have to use an adapter, like the Brophy Adapter # HTAD, to be able to carry your...
