Expert Reply:
In order to tow your 2013 Ford C-Max behind your 2001 Ford F-250 you'll need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables and magnetic tail light kit.
To start, I recommend that you use the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 6,000 lbs # RM-501 and the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 524432-1, which will work well together and provide you with the base parts needed to tow your C-Max. You'll also need a set of safety cables like the # RM-643 and some magnetic tail lights like the Magnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connectors - 20' Long Harness # PE26UR
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, as well.
