Your lookin at 1000lb. Keep in mind battery, full tank of gas. If your driving locally that focus can handle it, but if your intentions are to go up north as well, your gonna easily be pulling 2000lbs, especially considering you will have passengers and all your equipment and camping needs. I have done this with a jetta, and it just doesnt have the power. For example: full camping gear, 2 passengers, and the boat going up the skyway in 3rd at full throttle, and I can only maintain 100km/h. Although, your Focus does have a little more power than a jetta. I find even my 4Runner really has to work to get up the hills. If I could take it back I would of got a 8 cylinder vehicle. Your call
