2021 Escape Towing and Performance Features

The Ford Escape engines offer strong performance for your towing jobs, but it also comes with a variety of towing features to make towing easier and more efficient. Read more about the different Ford Escape towing and performance features below:

• All-Wheel Drive Disconnect: In ideal Albany 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: Clifton Park 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.
