With one of the highest towing capacities in its class, the 2019 Ford Escape is a gutsy compact SUV. Most vehicles in its class, including the base trim for the Escape, can only pull a maximum of 1,500 pounds, while the Escape can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Keep reading to learn why you should consider the top-of-the-line Titanium trim for all your towing needs.
Tow Package
Although there are four trims available, the 2019 Ford Escape only offers the 2.0L EcoBoost Class II Trailer Tow Package with the Titanium trim. This package includes sway control and an auxiliary transmission oil cooler. When trailer sway is detected, the system brakes or reduces torque to keep the vehicle and trailer under control. Sway detection will get you safely to where you’re going.
Additional Traction
This vehicle comes standard with all-wheel drive, but you can upgrade for four-wheel drive. Pairing the tow package upgrade with the Intelligent four-wheel-drive system will give you the added benefit of traction and security when towing. And if you’re pulling a heavy trailer, it’s imperative that you can maintain control.
Powerful Engine
Exclusive to the Titanium trim is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that packs 245 horsepower. Combined with the tow package, this engine helps the vehicle pull up to 3,500 pounds.
