Are you in a bad towing relationship with your current SUV? If so, it's never too late to escape. At the end of the day, you must do what is best for you. So, if you're looking to run away to greener pastures with a Ford Escape, then you've come to the right place: New Holland Ford.

Our team is full of experts who know the Ford Escape like the back of their hands. They can answer all your questions when it comes to the Ford Escape's towing capacity. They've even written this great towing capacity guide, so you'll know everything you need to know when you go out there on those New Holland, Lancaster, and Reading, PA, roads!


This SUV Can Tow

When you get an Escape, you get an SUV that can take you places. Not only that, but also pull things places. When equipped with the Class II Trailer Tow Package, the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Meanwhile, the standard 1.5L EcoBoost® engine can tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.

The best thing about the Escape, though, is that even the Hybrid can pull some good weight, meaning your camping trips can go further. When properly equipped, the Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid with the 2.5L I-4 can each tow up to 1,500 pounds! That's enough to handle some easy camping loads!


The Engines that Make this Towing Possible

These are the stars of the show: the four engines of the Escape. Each with its own distinct personality, these engines open up doors to all kinds of possibilities. Here they are: 

1.5L EcoBoost

181 HP / 190 lb-ft of torque

2.0L EcoBoost

250 HP / 280 lb-ft of torque

Hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4

165 HP / 155 lb-ft of torque

Plug-In 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4

165 HP / 155 lb-ft of torque

These engines are not only powerful examples of Ford's ingenuity, but they are also just straight up good engines. It's worth exploring more about these engines to see which one may be right for you.

The Space Inside to Hold What Matters

Towing is only so much. Most of the important cargo you have, you'll be keeping inside your Escape. Luckily, with the Escape, you'll have plenty of room inside. You'll have up to 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, and if you put the 2nd-row seats down, you'll be getting up to 65.4 cubic feet! That's a great complement to the towing capacity of the Escape!
