I tow with a 2007 1.8 diesel Focus. I probably have more torque with the diesel engine but I’ve towed with plenty of petrol cars in the past. If it struggles, change gear. It’s cheaper than changing the car. But, an important word of warning. Both the camping club and the caravan club have an outfit matching service. Both have the wrong data for the Ford Focus.  Check your V5 log book document for the correct mass in service weight and you can also refer to the plate on the car to check the total train weight.
