I have put an aftermarket hitch on my 2017 Ford C-Max Energi Titanium and pulled a 10 foot trailer loaded with camping equipment on several different trips totaling more than 2,200 miles at highway speeds without any problems. 2017 Ford C-Max Energi Titanium with trailer.

LOL, the transmission is not a conventional CVT. It's a planetary gear set with 2 electric motors but it does need a fluid change every 150 k miles. Watch this video. The hybrid transmission is covered by the unique hybrid components warranty for 8 years and 100 k miles. The C-Max Hybrid is one of the best cars I've owned especially on the highway. How far is your commute? At 60 mph cruising you should get in the mid 40s mpg minimum. If you follow ptjones videos, you can likely get upper 40s. Cold will kill your mpg especially until engine is warmed up - likely lower 40s. Of course AC is summer is also a hit to mpg.

I just towed a 950lb Waverunner and trailer 500 miles in 95F heat at 70mph with considerable grades to handle with no problems whatever.

How can the A/C hit the battery hard? It runs of the high voltage battery that barely notices the drain.
