Ford S-MAX II  2.0 EcoBlue Vignale Allrad Automatik

Is the Ford S-MAX also good for towing trailers? In order to answer this topic the motor vehicle must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a maximum towing capacity of 2000 kg, this motor vehicle does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
torque affects the Ford S-MAX how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 400 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this motor vehicle distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this deal does not yet include trailer coupling and must be ordered in addition.

Evaluation - is the Ford S-MAX suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle can pull trailers with up to 2000 kg own weight . The feed is provided by the torque of 400 Nm. The Ford S-MAX is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here. However, this particular offer is an immediately available vehicle that does not have a trailer hitch installed. It is therefore not suitable for use in trailer operation. However, this motor vehicle may be available as an order vehicle with trailer hitch, so be sure to also check new vehicle offers on our website.
