Howdy from North Central Texas, Purchased a 2013 C-MAX last Thursday, as I wanted a Hybrid that could be Towed. Found this forum while looking for base plate information. Glad to have a forum which will help me learn much about the C-MAX and towing it. Have had forums for two RVs and find them very helpful. I will be looking and probable asking questions for some time, as I want to be prepared to hit the road. I am 76 years young and retired from the Air Force. Will be back on the road as soon as I get the tow package set up. Any ideas on a good company in the DFW area to purchase and install base plate and wiring? Want to be sure to use someone who knows something about doing it. I just don't get involved in the mechanical end of things anymore, due to worn out body. Glad to be in this forum. Bobwyre
