Anyone towing a 2014-2015 Ford Escape 4 down?

If so, what modifications did you have to do? or how are you doing it? Only interested in 2 wheel drives, not all wheel drive. Thanks

    WHY would you buy an Equinox if the manual says not to tow 4 down?

  • I looked at a few escapes. The manuals on the ones I looked at said you could tow 4 down. If you google it, you will see that in spite of what the manual says (which I often take as gospel) a lot of folks have ruined their trannys towing escapes 4 down. I'm not expert, just sharing what I learned from others.
  • We looked at the Escape but unfortunately it is not towable 4 down. We bought a used CRV with only 8941 miles on it.
  • You might want to ask to have this put in the dingy section.
