Does anybody know why the maximum towable mass (braked) of the B-Max 1.0 Ecoboost 120 ps is only 750 kg? The New Focus 1.0 Ecoboost 125 ps has a max towable mass of 1200 kg!
Both cars have about the same weight.
The mass of my caravan is about 800 kg, so this means de B-Max is unsuitable for me. That is very unfortunate because I like the car very much.

I don't sorry but hopefully someone else can help.

These are the specifications if anyone else is interested;

Hi William,
I have a towbar assembly which I am about to fit (If I can wrestle the car from my wife)!! It would seem that the method of mounting and the construction of the bracket is the governing factor. It does look a little light weight. Mind you the price is fairly heavy weight. How about £365.00 for the bracket/electrics combo? And that's the fixed ball,not the removable ball type!
