The 2021 Escape’s three engine choices, available All-Wheel Drive Disconnect, and standard Selectable Drive Modes give you options for power and capability to match your needs. It’s time you found out Ford Escape towing capacity lbs and what the new Ford Escape can do for you.
The Ford EcoBoost® Advantage
There’s no limits in the 2021 Ford Escape, with ten models to choose from and available features and packages that fit your needs. Models start at a budget-friendly $25,555 MSRP and give you options whether you’re looking for capability, comfort, or style.
The 2021 lineup includes the Escape S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. The S, SE, and SEL trims come with a standard 1.5L EcoBoost® engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission anda front-wheel drivetrain (all-wheel drive optional). With the available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine and the Class II Trailer Tow Package, the S, SE, and SEL will give you a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs.
The Titanium trim comes with a standard 2.0L EcoBoost® engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. Like the S, SE, and SEL, the Titanium equipped with the Class II Trailer Tow package will haul up to 3,500 pounds—that’s more than rivals like the Toyota Rav4, Honda CR-V, and Jeep Compass.
Earth-Friendly Options
Earth-friendly options include the Escape SE, SEL, and Titanium trim’s optional Hybrid 2.5L IVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 engine and Plug-in 2.5L IVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 engine. The Escape Hybrid features an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission and a 96 kW electric motor.
The Escape Plug-in Hybrid comes equipped with a Level 1/Level 2 AC charging port. A 110-volt Level 1 Charger requires an estimated 10 to 11 hours to fully charge, while a 240-volt Level 2 Charger cuts that time down to approximately 3.5 hours.
Both hybrid engines conveniently store their batteries beneath the second-row seats for maximum cabin space, cargo space, and comfort. And, when properly equipped, the Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid can each tow up to 1,500 lbs.
>Technology for the Long Haul
Tech-forward features standard and available on the 2021 Escape make driving and towing easier, safer, and more economical. Features like AWD with AWD Disconnect will disable the rear driveline when the system detects that AWD is not necessary. This means less drag and more fuel savings at the pump.
Selectable Drive Modes are designed to help improve your overall driving experience and your handling on a variety of road surfaces. The different modes include Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand. Each drive mode works together with the electronic stability control and traction control systems for maximum grip and control.
