Ford escape towing capability

the Escape is good for towing small boats and popups/A-frames or something like the fiberglass "egg" trailers.
but not for a traditional flat-front travel trailer. the air resistance will stress the Escape's drivetrain. that's why Ford puts in a frontal area limitation.

Times two- except for the assertion that fiberglass trailers are any more suitable than stick-built standy-uppies of the same size. Those rounded edges make too little difference aerodynamically to overcome their far-beyond-spec frontal area.
