So it doesn't have a factory tow package? If its not factory equipped the tow rating my be even less.Just because they bolt a hitch on doesn't mean it has a tow package. I had a Chevy traverse 2009 no tow pkg 2200 lb (pretty sure). Had a traverse 2012 with tow pkg 5200 lb. Pulled a 4000 lb TT and I wouldnt want anything heavier. And the RV dealer was saying I could pull a 26 ft 5000 lb TT. Also as someone above mentioned, it may need an equalizing hitch too. My equalizing hitch itself weighs about 80 lbs.
No the Escapes don't come with the towing package unless you order it that way brand new (as far as I know). And i would definately get an equalizing hitch, and a sway bar, anything else you can possibly add!
