Outside of a drivers license, what kind of license do you have to possess in order to tow something??

For $245 (with your $250 discount), what does this 4-hour towing class cover that my owners manual and supplements don't? Or is this something completely new that isn't published in Ford's RV & Trailer Towing Guide?

Should have a boot camp for sales people so they know how to sell you the correct tow vehicle and be able to tell you what a certain vehicle can safely tow.

SHHH!!!! Too much common sense!!!!

Not only manuals and guides, but hours of online towing tutorials on all related topics.

Save the coin. Find a largely unoccupied, vast parking lot and go to it. Driving is intuitive, backing up is not.

Be nice if the window sticker included the CCC of the truck. How do I do an inventory search for a tow vehicle without that information?

The best Ford class I ever took was the 2-day ST Octane Academy at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, UT. It was completely free to anyone who purchased a 2014 Focus ST. You just had to fly out to SLC and get your lodging. The reception on Friday night was held at Ken Block's (RIP) Hoonigan HQ in Park City, and they let us look at the rally cars in various states of build and repair. Saturday and Sunday were split between top speed laps on the racing circuit with an instructor and then solo, and then autocross. It was a really fun experience, especially for free.

Tri axle TT minivan towing?

Tri axle TT minivan towing?

They smartly turned off YouTube comments for that video! ?

I'm going to wait a few minutes for my sphincter to unclench now after watching that. Holy hell.

CCC? lost me.

Cargo carrying capacity (I think).

That is shown on the door sticker...

Payload for sure. Not sure if CCC differs or if I whiffed on what it means.

Edit: Ah OK, I see he said "window sticker." He would like to be able to see it in a search or without having to open the door of a locked vehicle on a lot.
