According to the owner's manual, the 2013 Ford C-Max is capable of being flat towed but you'll want to follow the procedures outlined in the owner's manual.
For base plates, I'd recommend the # 524432-1 from Roadmaster, for a tow bar, use their Falcon All-Terrain tow bar, part # RM-522. The Falcon All-Terrain won't bind, which makes connecting and disconnecting much quicker and easier if the pavement isn't level. For safety cables, use # RM-643.

We have the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit, # 524432-1 that is confirmed to fit the 2017 Ford C-Max and will mate to your Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar, # RM-501. Please note the linked installation video below.
If you need wiring for your indicator lights, I suggest the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154 and for supplemental braking system, the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System, # HM39530. view full answer...
We have a number of trunk mount bike racks that are listed as a fit for the 2014 Ford C-Max but I cannot guarantee they will fit a European spec model. But if the body is the same there should be no problem. However, in the UK they have different requirements for trunk mount bike racks.
She would likely need to install a light bar of some kind (standard on most UK Thule trunk mount racks) to be in compliance with the laws. She would want to check the laws ahead of time before a rack is... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Yes, for your 2013 Ford C-Max the Blue Ox Tow Bar lighting kit part # BX8848 has been confirmed as a fit. I attached a link to the install instructions plus a link to a help article page on installing kits like this. view full answer...
I do have a solution for you, however all of the available trailer hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2015 Ford C-Max are Class I and Class II hitches that have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch # C12092. This is custom-fit for your C-Max and will provide a 350 pound tongue weight capacity. Keep in mind that some drilling will be required during installation and the exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered.... view full answer...
For your 2017 Ford C-Max, I recommend you start with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2639. Then I recommend using the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 which comes with the safety cables needed. I also recommend using the locks # BX88177.
Then for your tow bar wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will give you the clean connections on the front of your C-Max and will also allow you to utilize your vehicle's wiring while protecting... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
Yes, in order to reuse your Blue Ox Rangefinder II Tow Bar 4322 you will need the Blue Ox Rangefinder II or III Tow Bar to Roadmaster Base Plates Adapters part # RM-037. This adapter kit allows you to use the Blue Ox Rangefinder II Tow Bar with a Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit. The correct Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit for your 2013 Ford C-Max is part # 524432-1. There are not any mounts available for the Blue Ox Rangefinder II Tow Bar to use with a Blue Ox Base Plate... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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.... view full answer...
For your 2013 Ford C-Max there are only 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches available. 2 inch trailer hitches are reserved for larger vehicles that have higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs.
The highest capacity hitch available for your vehicle is the Curt hitch part # C12092 that you referenced which has a 350 tongue weight capacity and a 3,500 lb trailer capacity. There still are several bike racks that will fit this style of hitch though.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has... view full answer...
To keep the battery of a towed vehicle charged what we have is the Roadmaster charge kit part # RM-156-25. This allows you to run a wire from the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way to the battery post of the vehicle getting towed to keep the battery alive.
For a base plate kit you'd then want the Roadmaster EZ2 kit part # 524432-1 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Ford C-Max. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
In addition to the base plates,... view full answer...
For your 2015 Ford C-Max with a naked roof, you need the following setup:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Black - 54" Long # RRVA137B-2
- 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit # DK357
With this setup, you receive the benefits of an extremely aerodynamic system which ultimately leads to a quieter ride and increased fuel efficiency. As far as weight, this setup provides you with 132 pounds of maximum weight... view full answer...
All 6 pins of the 6-way on the # RM-15267 are active so if you had the 12 volt power circuit active on your tow vehicle's wiring it would be carried over to the towed vehicle. From the center pin of the 6-way socket that gets installed on your towed vehicle you'd need to run a 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) to the positive post of the battery and the battery would get a charge. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
The Thule Gateway Pro trunk mount bike rack # TH88VR is listed as a fit for the 2013 Ford C-Max. However, the top clips would need to install in the gap at the front edge of the top of the rear hatch. If there is a spoiler in the way it will not fit.
Since your C-Max has a spoiler you will want to use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an extra arm piece that will move the top straps over the spoiler. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
