Is my Ford Escape worthless for fullfilling my dream? :-(

I've had this dream to live in an RV (travel trailer, specifically) for about 5 or 6 years now. I was drawn to the Ford Escape and was happy to learn they can tow up to 3500 pounds. I bought one last ...

Are you sure it said GVWR of 3500 and not GVR? That seems low for even for an Escape. Like mentioned above if that is GVWR you are looking at only 2000 - 2500lbs to play with.


Yes it was GVWR, I saw the other 2 first, the front and the rear maximum weights and they were both like 2300 I think, then I saw the other one. I thought that was the number everyone says to go by for what your vehicle can tow? So now that's not even accurate either?!
