Lube Pump Front Wheel Drive

Question

I noticed on the Camping World website that I can get a lube pump for a front wheel drive vehicle for flat towing.

Since I found out my 2008 Ford Escape, XLT, f/wheel drive automatic isn't flat towable this seems like it will prevent me from getting another car just to tow.

Has anyone tried / used this product? Does it work and hold up?

Any thoughts?

I had a Remco transmission lube pump on my '99 Regal toad for 3-4 years with no problems.  You should make sure that the transmission getting lubed is the only reason not to flat tow the Escape.

These lube pumps come from Remco Towing.  There is not an application for the 2008 Ford Escape.  Per the manufacturer of the lube pump this vehicle must be towed on a tow dolly or trailer.
