Simple answer...

You can't tow anything on your license. all drivers that passed after 1jan1997 need to take an additional test to enable them to drive cat B+E (car and trailer)

If you do pass that test then the focus has a maximum towing weight of 1200KG but the recommended max towing weight is 1133KG (85% of vehicle weight) and a maximum tow ball loading of 75KG
