I bought a 5 speed 2014 Ford Focus and the only thing you need to do to tow it is put the transmission in neutral. Doesn’t even need the key in the ignition as the steering does not lock. Easy peasy


We have a 2015 Focus w/ Manuel transmission. One other thing you need to do other than putting it in neutral is make sure parking brake is released. Automatic transmission requires battery disconnect. Remote disconnect for battery is available though.
