Last winter we were faced with replacing our 2007 Saturn used as our tow vehicle. We wanted something with a little more room and required that it be under 4000 lbs. with an automatic transmission and towable 4 down. We had it narrowed down to two vehicles, a Ford Fusion Hybrid, and a Honda CRV. Since our van we had at home was also on its last legs we opted for the CRV. But we were very impressed with the Ford Fusion hybrid. Both vehicles had extensive simple instructions in the Owners Manual regarding towing. We were all set to get the Hybrid as both of our sons have ford fusions and we were please with the comfort level. As I stated it was the matter of convenience for us. The Fusion is based on the same principles as the C-Max only with a larger cabin. Hope you are successful Tom Hancock

I had a similar issue! I did the research to have some one do it and finally ended up doing it myself. It was not that hard to do. The biggest trouble was removing the staples from the carpeting the must have been thousands of them. The vinyl tile came up fairly easy with a hammer and chisel. I did not do the slide as I would have had to remove a sofa and dinette area and there isn't that much carpet in that area that shows. I use a 5MM laminated wood floor by Mohawk and glued it down. It turned out pretty good and I have gotten a lot of complements from friends that remember it when it was carpeted. I might add that the wood cleans up a lot easier than the carpet did. Tom Hancock
