Now, I understand you liking your Escape and owing $14K on it. You bought the Escape used, right? So, how much is it worth now? You probably could sell it outright for what you owe on it, and start over with something more capable. For the Vibe, look for something with at least 6000 lbs tow/ 600 hitch wt capacity and (at least a bit) longer wheelbase than the Escape.
I hope that helps you.
I dont just like my Escape, it's my dream vehicle. I felt drawn to it for a while, I needed this exact color too, and I heard they were rare (lime green) and one day I saw ONE (after searching for about a year) and I knew immediately it would be mine so I traded my Ranger in for it. The Ranger might have been better to tow with since it was 4 wheel drive but it was a manual and I knew automatic would be better for towing plus my Ranger was already 15 years old. Yes the Escape was used but it had low miles on it and it was the color I wanted and it was meant to be! I am attached to it now. I have driven my mom's F-150 and I hate it, I feel like i'm driving a school bus! It's way too wide. I'm so short I can't even see over the hood even with the seat as far up as I can get it!
