2015 Ford Escape towing capacity

So, you’re thinking about hopping on the compact crossover trend, or you’re looking to upgrade your current model. These vehicles aren’t the auto industry’s rising stars for no reason: the shake-up of standards for both SUVs and sedans, and the gradual melding of the two into what we now call the crossover, has been changing the way we drive here in America, and we think it’s for the better! One of our most popular crossovers here at Holiday Ford is the Ford Escape, and we think you’ll be impressed by how much you can do with it. Today we’ll tell you about some of the more distinctive elements of this option, including the 2015 Ford Escape towing capacity, fuel economy ratings, tech features, and more.

Engine & Fuel Economy:

The Ford Escape boasts a lineup of engine and equipment options that’s sure to help you get from place to place whether it’s a family summer road trip or just navigating the winter roadways here in the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin area. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that gets you up to 31 highway miles per gallon, and you’ve also got two EcoBoost options: a 1.6-liter and a 2.0-liter, which also achieve great gas mileage thanks to the EcoBoost technology that goes into them. SE and Titanium are available with four-wheel drive as well.

Towing Capacity:

The 2015 Ford Escape has one of the best towing capacities on today’s compact crossover scene, with a maximum of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped with the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine and the optional Class II Trailer Tow Package. This is ideal for families who know they’ll need to take a trailer or boat along from time to time. Trailer sway control will help you feel even more confident on the road.

 In-Car Technology:

Standard features on the 2015 Ford Escape include a rear view camera, SYNC with MyFord voice-activated communications and entertainment system, and the MyKey system to help you keep teen drivers safe.
