I checked the owners manual online for a 2004 Ford Focus. Ford says that for front wheel drive models that have the automatic transaxle (transmission) you cannot flat tow it with all 4 wheels on the ground. The drive wheels (front wheels) have to be on a tow dolly, # RM-2050-1 as an example, or the car has to be on a car hauler trailer.

Close but not the same question. I am looking at a 2004 Ford Focus ZX3 with Manual Transmission. So because of the manual transmission will this make it flat towable on 4 wheels with tow bar?
