So, what is the Ford Escape towing capacity? The answer to this question varies based on whether you prefer the standard model or the hybrid as well as your choice of engine. Learn all about the Ford Escape and Ford Escape Hybrid towing capacity in this guide from DCH Ford of Eatontown.

Features that Enhance Towing in Tinton Falls 

If you plan to do a lot of towing with your Ford Escape, you can haul bulky items with complete confidence thanks to the Escape’s wealth of features that ensure you are ready for any road conditions that you encounter in Red Bank and beyond.
