Ford Escape Towing and Performance Features
Based on the figures alone, the Ford Escape towing capacity should prove quite impressive for Chapin drivers. Even more appealing, though, are the features that make the tow ratings possible. These towing and performance features offered with the Ford Escape make towing simple and convenient:
- All-Wheel Drive Disconnect: In ideal Columbia road conditions, all-wheel drive is shut off to promote efficiency. When more traction is necessary, the system deploys to provide optimal control.
- Selectable Drive Modes: Another way that the Ford Escape puts control back in the driver’s hands is with this system, which allows you to choose between Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand modes, regardless of whether there is a trailer attached to the vehicle.
- Trailer Sway Control: Irmo drivers don’t have to worry about losing control with a heavy trailer attached to their Escape, since this system restabilizes and corrects potential sway.
