Can a 2011 Ford Fiesta Automatic be Flat Towed Behind a Motor Home  

Question:

I am looking at buying a 2011 Ford Fiesta. Does this auto have to be a stick for me to pull behind my D Bounder?

I did some checking and it looks like a 2011 Ford Fiesta with an automatic transmission is good to tow as is. However, you should check with the owners manual to check for any limitations or recommendations.

You will need a few things to accomplish this, the first thing being a Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit, part # 524425-1. This will install onto your Fiesta and be the attachment point from the tow bars.

Next, you will need a RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar, part # RM-576 and safety cables like part # RM-643.

Finally you will need a lighting solution. You could use a magnetic tow light mounts, part # RM-2120, like the one you referenced. This would be a great lighting kit if you only plan on flat towing your Fiesta occasionally.

If you are planning on towing your Fiesta frequently I would recommend you use a Tail Light Isolating Diode System, part # 38955 for a more permanent setup that uses your factory turn signals and brake lights. I attached an installation video of this product on a similar vehicle as yours below for you to check out.
