Ford Escape Towing Capacity

The Ford Escape has made a name for itself on the streets of Milledgeville, Eatonton, and Sparta. This extremely stylish compact SUV is perfect for those on the go, packing a lot of punch under the hood and tons of features inside and out. But when it comes to hauling, what is this vehicle capable of?

To tell you all about the 2019 Ford Escape towing capacity are the pros at Butler Ford Milledgeville. Below, you'll find out exactly what this vehicle can do, whether you're towing for work or play. Let's jump right in.

2019 Escape Performance

Before we can get into the towing capacity of the Ford Escape, we must discuss what is under the hood of this SUV. After all, that is what makes hauling happen! Standardly, you will be equipped with the 2.5L Duratec® engine which supplies 168 HP and 170 lb-ft of torque. However, if you're looking to seriously haul, you'll need to opt for the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine.

This powerful engine gives you a whopping 245 HP and 275 lb-ft of torque, allowing you to take on the towing world like a champ. This engine is paired with the 6-speed SelectShift automatic engine, allowing you to easily switch between gears when needed. Additionally, Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive is available to elevate your experience even more.

Now that you know what is under the hood, we can get into how much this vehicle can haul. When equipped with the correct engine and the Class II Trailer Tow Package, you can tow up to 3,500 pounds!

This package includes the innovative trailer sway control system. This automatically adjusts to make sure your load is always safe by applying extra braking or reducing engine torque. It also comes with a transmission oil cooler to ensure that your vehicle does not overheat when it's working hard.

Making Towing Easier

Along with the advanced systems under the hood and included with the towing package, the 2019 Ford Escape offers more ways to take on the road with ease, especially when you're hauling something behind you.

One of them is the AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™. This system uses sensors to monitor your driving, as well as the road condition to help you keep control. If it detects a wheel slip or roll motion, it will work to correct what is happening. It also helps to make not-so-ideal road conditions like ice, gravel, and rain easier to manage.

Curve Control is also available, which comes equipped with Torque Vectoring Control to make sure you, your Escape, and the load behind are also headed in the right direction. It can tell if you're going too fast and will slow down the vehicle. Once you are in the curve of the road, it will transfer more traction to the outside tires and enhance them, allowing them to gain the most grip.
