I really like the new Escapes. Can you tow with them?
Yes and no is the answer. We bought the tiny 1.6L eco-boost version. It will not have to tow, though it might tow my ubiquitous 14' aluminium fishing boat and 9.5 Johnson just fine, it will never have to. We run a pair of smallish draft horses that go about 1250# each so the F150 does all of our towing, from big stuff like Rusty and Adler to little stuff like hay racks or boats. The Escape ferries dogs and wife. Easy stuff. If I'm lucky I'll steal it a few times this summer to fit it up with my shooting gear and roll off to New Mexico and such places to shoot rifle matches, but otherwise, it's the wife's transport. Friggin' pricey bastards too. But then they all are.
