Ford Escape Towing & Performance Features

Both the 2022 Ford Escape towing capacity for gas-only models and the Ford Escape Hybrid towing capacity are generous, but there are several features that will help you navigate the Schenectady roads as you tow your items. Some of them are:

• All-Wheel Drive Disconnect: When you’re driving in ideal road conditions, all-wheel drive will shut off to maximize efficiency. However, if you need more traction, the system will be used for optimal control.
• Selectable Drive Modes: Whether your Escape model has AWD or not, you can have more control over your drives via this system. Choose among Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand modes, regardless of whether there is a trailer attached to the vehicle.
• Trailer Sway Control: If you have a heavy trailer attached, this system re-stabilizes and corrects potential sway, so you can have the best control as you continue to drive forward!
