If you’re like a lot of our Troy customers, you work hard during the week and play hard on the weekend. That often means you need a vehicle that can handle towing that small boat or family camper. Fortunately, the Ford Escape towing capacity is as much as 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Delve into the details with the team at Dave Arbogast.
 

2020 Ford Escape Towing Capacity

 
There are four distinct engine options on the 2021 Ford Escape, each with its own towing capacity. Opt for the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine to get the maximum towing capacity. Here’s how the towing capacity breaks out by engine:

    2020 Ford Escape Rear

  • 1.5L EcoBoost®: 2,000-pound towing capacity

  • Plug-In Hybrid 2.5LHybrid iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4: 1,500-pound towing capacity

Towing-Related Features

There’s more to this amazing SUV than the impressive Ford Escape towing capacity. The Escape is packed with features that will help make towing along our Dayton roads safer and easier. Here are just a few of these important features you’ll find in this automobile:

  • All-Wheel Drive Disconnect: In ideal road conditions, all-wheel drive is shut off to promote efficiency. When more traction is necessary, the system deploys to provide optimal control.
  • Selectable Drive Modes: Another way that the Ford Escape puts control back in the driver’s hands is with this system, which allows you to choose between Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand modes, regardless of whether there is a trailer attached to the vehicle.
  • Trailer Sway Control: You won’t have to worry about losing control with a heavy trailer attached to your Escape since this system restabilizes and corrects potential sway.
