Ford Escape Towing Capacity: Engine Options 

While the 2021 Escape is a smaller SUV, Des Moines shoppers will be thoroughly impressed by its hauling performance. The Ford Escape towing capacity is made possible by the varying engine options:

  • 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

For each powertrain, there is an upgradeable tow package so you can haul around Indianola safely and with ease. You also have access to the available all-wheel-drive system on the Escape that provides extra traction when you have to tow large items in poor conditions. 

Ford Escape Towing Capacity: Performance Features

While the aforementioned towing capacities are sure to please frequent towers in Des Moines, there are additional towing and performance features offered with the Ford Escape that make towing simple and convenient:

  • All-Wheel Drive Disconnect: When there are ideal road conditions, all-wheel drive is shut off to increase efficiency. If more traction is needed, all-wheel drive will deploy, offering better control. 
  • Selectable Drive Modes: This system allows you to take control of your driving experience by offering varying drive modes: Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand. 
  • Trailer Sway Control: You won’t have to worry about losing control when towing a heavy trailer since this system restabilizes and corrects potential sway.
