Hi folks, I am new to the group. I just bought a 2017 Ford
Escape with 2.0 Ecoboost and tow package. It claims to accommodate up to 3500lbs gvwr. It has front wheel drive.
I have read various forums that basically warn me not to tow an RV, but they are all from folks who never owned this car.
Do any of you have experience towing with this car? Or perhaps a year or two older? I think they used the same engine etc last year and before.
I am trying to decide which trailer to buy. I hope to get something with a permanent bed, dinette, and bath. Right now the
Escape 17 looks interesting, or a
Scamp 16 layout 6. I believe the
Casita won't work since I am 6'2". Dry
weight on most similar models hovers around 2500lbs with options included, so that's where I am aiming. But I'd like to hear from folks who have actually towed with the Ecoboost Ford
Escape to see if I'm being realistic.
Also, any other model suggestions appreciated. I am in Phoenix, and there are few
fiberglass models to view here.
Thanks,
Will
