If you've got an AWD model with the 2-liter EcoBoost engine and the Class II Trailer Tow Package, then you can tow up to 3,500 pounds. The next strongest are FWD and AWD models with the 1.5-liter engine, which can handle up to 2,000 pounds. Both hybrid models can tow up to 1,500 pounds, so every configuration is versatile enough to tow objects that won't fit in the cabin.

You can also equip a 360-Degree Camera with Split View. The Ford Co-Pilot360 package is also standard, and that gives your car lots of additional safety features in the form of driver assistance technology. These include A Blind Spot Information System with Rear Cross-Traffic Braking and a Lane-Keeping System with multiple features, including Driver Alert. Excellent Entertainment Features The Escape has an infotainment system that's loaded with useful features such as Wi-Fi hotspot capability and wireless smartphone compatibility. You can easily stay entertained thanks to the standard SiriusXM with 360L, which gives you access to a wide array of channels and on-demand content to listen to. You can also access your smartphone-based music streaming apps through the car's infotainment system for further entertainment. Want to get to know more about the Escape?
