I have a 2020 Escape 2.0L AWD with the factory tow hitch package. I plan to rent a vehicle tow dolly and using the U-Haul selection page, the combination of my vehicle and the vehicle to be towed is compatible. The tow dolly uses the standard 4-wire plug, which I believe means there are no...

Hi all, I’ve just purchased a 2017, 2.0l 4WD eco boost with factory tow package. Very excited to start towing but looking to do it safely so I have a few questions but also thought this would be a good thread for those also new to towing. Looking to tow a small utility trailer or small camper...

I am currently driving a 2020 Escape Hybrid. I just purchased a teardrop travel trailer, the 2019 Nucamp [email protected] 320 CS. It has a dry weight of 1851 lbs and a hitch weight of 152 lbs. Is there any hope for me that I can add a tow package to my escape that will allow me to tow my new trailer?

Me and my gf are moving to Florida in the summer! I use to grow up there and loved boats, so we are looking at getting a flat boat for inshore fishing. A lot of the flat boats are at 1800-2100Lb. I drive a ford fusion so my car is out of the picture and we recently got her a 17 ford escape 1.5l...

Hello Everyone, This is my first time posting on the forums, but I've been looking for advice here for a while. I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue I'm experiencing. I have a 2017 Titanium without the factory tow package. I decided to go ahead and order the class I hitch...

Hello - I'm considering a 2017 Titanium at a Hyundai dealership. How can I confirm the hitch is factory installed with extra cooling and not aftermarket? Thanks, Deborah

I recently consulted the manual and it appears that with an aftermarket trailer hitch, I can only tow up to 2,000 lbs. without the factory-installed towing package on the 2.0L Escape. Is this accurate, or am I misunderstanding something? I have heard a number of opinions regarding whether or...

I'm getting ready to trade in my Highlander for a new Escape. I want to be able to tow a trailer , probably not more than 2000lbs, but I like a bit of overkill. I want a Titanium 4WD with 2.0 turbo, "Safe and Smart" package(adaptive cruise, blind spot, etc.) and a tow package. Apparently this...

Hi guys, I need some help with towing. I have a Ford Escape 2018 - 2.0 Ecoboost AWD and I intend to move to another city this weekend (350km trip), so I will probably rent an enclosed trailer 6x12. I really don`t know what do I need to buy or not to make this trip save (hitch, additional...

We just purchased a 2017 Escape 2.0 with Class II Tow Package and we are looking for a small travel trailer or pop up trailer. We have a few in mind but would like to rent one prior to purchase. This is my first post and I am getting a lot of great info on here. So... whatcha towin?

HI- I need some reassurance that we really can tow a camper with the 3500# tow pkg. My husband is spending hours scouring the internet trying to be convinced. I want to tow a hard side pop-up camper around 2000# dry weight. Not planning on going crazy loading it. There are just two of us...

Hey all, first time Ford and SUV owner here. Finally parting ways with my 1999 Grand Prix GTP. Was lucky to find a 2016 yesterday, that had just been delivered to the lot on Thursday. 2015's have deep discounts, but I was set on getting the new Sync 3. I decided it would be nice to have...

This is the only vehicle that can pull my camper in the summer and stow in my garage the rest of the year! I already learned something huge just joining today: I'll need the escape w/o the roof window to support my 2 kayaks. Thanks for that! I was just about to sign the contract!:)

Just pulled my camper (2750#) for the first time with my 2015 Escape. I only got a little less than 13mpg! At this rate, with a 15g gas tank, I will have to stop for gas every 3 hours on my next vacation. My Escape (with towing package option) has 10K miles and has been getting 25 - 26mpg on...

I never expected or needed my 2014 2.0 SE to haul much, but according to the loading information sticker on it the max load is 827 pounds. Evidently this vehicle can carry my family of four adults/teens, but adding a 1000 pound trailer (with about 100 pounds hitch weight) is going to be a...

Hi Guys, Just picked my wife up a new 2013 SE last night. We got the 1.6 with the navi and a few other options. We were on a strict budget, so I couldn't float the SEL with the towing package. Also had a nice Reese Class III hitch installed. We tow a Sea-Doo and a small utility trailer so I...
