  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my C-Max's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Ford C-Max transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ford, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
