2022 Ford Escape Towing a Boat

 

While the Ford Escape may not often be used to tow around Naperville like most Ford trucks, this crossover SUV offers plenty of power to allow you to haul large loads around town and beyond. The Ford Escape towing capacity reaches up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. This is more than enough power to haul a trailer full of gear for your next Montgomery camping trip.

Ford Escape Hybrid Towing Capacity: Engine Options

When it comes to the Ford Escape Hybrid towing capacity and the other trims, you’ll find the Escape to be highly customizable with several engine options available. Each powertrain can also be enhanced with the available tow package if you intend to use your Ford Escape for hauling in Yorkville and beyond. When properly equipped, here are the maximum capacities of each powertrain:

  • 2.0L EcoBoost®: 3,500-pound towing capacity with front-wheel or all-wheel drive
  • 1.5L EcoBoost®: 2,000-pound towing capacity
  • Hybrid 2.5L Hybrid iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4: 1,500-pound towing capacity
  • Plug-In Hybrid 2.5L Hybrid iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4: 1,500-pound towing capacity

Ford Escape Features

Every Ford Escape is well-equipped, but here are a few specific highlights:

  • All-Wheel Drive Disconnect: An Escape with AWD has excellent traction in inclement weather, but the AWD Disconnect allows that same Escape to attain excellent gas mileage like a two-wheell drive vehicle in standard conditions.
  • Selectable Drive Modes: Ford Escape allows you to choose between Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand modes, while trailering or trailerless.
  • Trailer Sway Control: This advanced driver-assist system allows you greater control with more ease and peace of mind, knowing it can counteract what would otherwise be potentially dangerous trailer sway.
