Ford Fusion Towing Safety

It is important to note that the 2020 Ford Fusion does not come equipped with factory-installed equipment for towing. Additionally, if you decide to drive a Fusion Hybrid or Fusion Plug-In Hybrid around Elk River, towing is not advised. Otherwise, keep the following tips in mind if you decide to tow with your Ford Fusion.

• Allow more distance for braking when a trailer is attached.
• Exercise caution when accelerating. A trailer can drastically reduce acceleration of a vehicle.
• Swing wide when making turns so as to avoid curbs and other objects.
• Make sure tires are properly inflated for optimal performance. Check your tires often throughout the trip.
